terminal fettler TF2 helmet build WIP... At it again!

I thought i'd start up a WIP thread as i attempt to build another helmet from scratch. This time the dome is scratch built, so no BMX helmet to limit the overall shape of the sculpt... The materials I'm using are standard plastic card, alloy sheet and various foam as well as polyurethane resin and Isopon P38 (Bondo). The first pics show the really basic starting point to get the general shape and scale...

Ahh, very exciting, and a nice change of pace from your knitting Honestly can't wait to see the finished product G, as basically everything Fett you touch is pure gold!

Knitting? who have you been talking to? You are too kind Sir.

Cool, i'll be following this with interest, love scratchbuilds.

TF, can i commission you to knit me a woolly Fett hat?

Finally! Can't wait to see the end product!

They've been talking to the one who speaks the truth.

Glad for you to share this Garrett. I've been a kid in a candy store waiting for this! 100% faith this is gonna be one awesome helmet.

Very cool TF! Your original was a great helmet. I can't wait to see how nice this one will turn out.

Took the words right outta my mouth!

Thanks guys. Here is a shot of the back panel section in position, this section will be sculpted over with Bondo to achieve the slight compound curvature as seen on the actual helmet. At this stage the dome remains a separate piece that drops into position. I actually have three domes at the moment, all slightly different shapes...

Wow, I'll definitely be watching this one!
Go, Garrett, go!

For those TF knitting fans!

So it that a pic of. . . Jayne-go Fett???

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Better not be a Jayne toque... Fox Entertainment is bounty-hunting all the Jayne hat vendors on Etsy right now!!

Looks cool, TF.

Great start G.. not seen a scratch build for some time..!!
