Wow! Thanks.

A slight update. I sanded down the sides (just enough for paint and photo's) and added the vents. Nothing is permenent yet, the mandibles and armor are just stickied on. It still needs a lot of fine tuning, a real visor, LED's, and real vents on the sides.

Paul

Excellent work! I am glad to finally see some other people attempt a swtor helmet. Truly fantastic!

Looks awesome!

Worked on the helmet again. Made filters for the side holes and tightened up the external armor. Also, a blue visor. Nothing is permanent yet so the side filters are not flush yet. It needs to be re-painted again. Here are some shots.

drool! Very nice work my friend. It makes me want to run home and play my Bounty Hunter on SWTOR- mission accomplished.

I have made more changes to it and will post new pictures very soon. Also started a new helmet.

Never played TOR but looks cool! Glad you're not content with "okay" looking. Go for perfect

Latest update on TOR Merc helmet.
Here it is next to one of my new projects. For some reason, it looks fatter than it really is. Maybe because I am so close to it with the camera



Last nights picture. It’s fuzzy but you get the idea.



Here it is next to another TOR project that I will be working on.





And for fun:



Opinions? Ideas?

Thanks,

Paul

I used the game pictures from my character and did screen shots from all sides. Then I bought one of Skiratas "legacy helmets" to start with. I basically sanded down most of the outside details. Then, I bought a huge sheet of Plexiglas to start with. I covered the helmet with paper and cut out the design to make templates for the outside armor. Then I cut the armor out of the Plexiglas. This was a trial and error job. once I had the pieces cut out, I began experimenting with the heat gun. I covered the inside helmet with tin foil to reflect the heat back and with welding gloves began to shape the pieces around the helmet.

This was my first project and I learned so many things doing it. So, that is basically how I made it.

Just a little update. I have not finished the TH-17A yet because I was sidetracked by my Havoc Trooper armor but wanted to share what I have done. As you know, the Merc helmet was my first attempt at making anything and I used what you all tought me on that to make the Havoc.

I plan to make a whole set of armor for the TOR Merc helmet but I don't have the skills yet.

Paul

I love mocking up lids. That looks amazing!!!

Gonna start the armor for the Elite War Medic helmet.
