Hello everybody, I am new here. I have introduce myself in the ''introduce yourself'' topic.
I have always been passionate about armors. I have been customizing action figures for a very long time and recently, I have decided to go full scale.
My first project is the helmet of Duke Fleed, Actarus or Orion Quest. This caracter have many names because the Grendizer animated serie was a world wide hit back in the ''70'' and the caracter had different names depending on witch contry the show was viewed.
Since it is my first project working full size, I decided to make a simple looking helmet. He is not finish yet, but very close to it. I am missing the vizor and the cap to hide the screws. But I should recive the material shortly that I ordered online to make them.
I know that people here are focusing on Halo armor. But for me, I don't have the skills to sculpt Halo peices of armor since they require tremendous amout of sculpting skills.
Now, about the helmet. I cast my head in plaster so the helmet would be a tight fit. I sculpted the helmet on my plaster head. Then I molded the hole thing. After that, I sculpted the vizor on the helmet and molded it using Rebound 25. The wings on the helmet are made from aluminium.
I know, the paint job is not very good, but I was so exited to to finish my first one that I made a few mistake on the paint, but the next one should have a very nice paint job....I hope!
So here are some picture of the caracter and the helmet. Tell me what you think!!
