Nicely done Pep! That is a very clean model, and that really does make pepping a lot easier. You did a very crisp job!

Great pep. I enjoyed making this helmet myself. I hope you are also able to.

Sanding with blue tinted Poly Fiber! This helmet has a lot of big panels so its prone to warpage. I'm going to keep the base as simple as possible. This may need a cheap molding just so that I can get a rigid enough cast to properly sculpt it. Who knows this may turn into a proper tutorial video. I have some new found friends who may help with that part.

Already making arrangements for the molding. Nevermind the ugly visor. slapping on the first coat of primer, then into the oven, then primer, then oven etc...
Ouch Hot!
Hopefully I can put a slick final coat on it tomorrow. That way I can get a good mold. (fingers crossed)

One little detail that i have noticed about your helmet is that it is missing the two symmetrical ridges running down the top of it on either sides. Do you plan to add them later?
check this link out if you want to see a better jfo helmet than mine. It is the one that I used as a guide when making my own. http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/35012-Kadus27-s-multiple-prop-builds

Spartan IV, I thought your avatar looked really similar to what I had sitting on my shelf, but there's no doubt you put your own twist on it and it turned out beautifully.
RYNO, so far its looking great, but along with what Spartan IV said, wouldn't it be easier to add detail now than post-molding? And plus, at that point you can make multiple copies of something that already has quite a bit of detail on it. Also, if you would like any extra references that aren't in the thread posted above, feel free to let me know.

Yes I do plan on adding all details Post mold. I have already started some individual pieces such as extractor slots, visor seal trim and I will sculpt out sectional lines. Can you show me an example of symmetrical ridges?

Yes you're correct it would be easier to add details now, however I intend on making a few detailed variations. The base will have to stay as simple as possible to achieve this. I also have never successfully molded anything this large and this will be a very good starter helmet. My cast will be ridgid resin allowing my big aggressive hands to delicately carve lines without crushing the model. If I do destroy it or make a mistake best thing is I can cast another base. Yes all reference pictures and comments are welcome. Thanks

here is a ridge on one side of the helmet
That's a nice helmet.
I'm having trouble with where your arrow touches.
If you were referring to the trench in this picture, I am going to carve it out.
I was also able to top coat today just waiting for it to cure so it can be molded.

Ya, I was talking about those trenches.

So you just filled the original helm with what looks like expanding foam? If so this seems like an easier way to mold a helmet.

Yes. I also use it to make the inside padding it's easy to cut plus very comfortable.
The product is Poly Foam F3. It's the same stuff that you would find in a car seat cushion. It's very neat stuff.
A lot of prop builders and artists use it to fill the cavities of all sorts of things. From human horror props , to seat cushions. It can also be use for cast making.

So then how do you get the foam out of the original? How do you get all the details or is it just to get the shape?

My original is still filled with foam. I only did it to make the molding process go smoothly. However it wasn't necessary. I can carve it out if I want but probably won't now that I'm able to move on to the cast I've been making. I'm still experimenting with some stuff.
