Plo Kloon WIP

Here's a few pics of a mask I have recently started for one of the guys in the Emerald Garrison.
Jedi Master Plo Kloon.
It is being built on a generic sized head so it should fit most.
Haven't quite decided on the final casting yet, might go silicone or foam latex.
The mouth piece is done in bronze resin with a fan and mic fitted. This will be mounted on seperate head straps that go under the mask. This should help make it more 'troopable' ie. you will be able to remove it. The eye pieces will also be finished in the same material.
Pics are off an Iphone so they're a bit shoddy. I'll take some better ones next week.

Wow, I will be watching this one just to see how amazing you can make it.

Looks great so far

AMAZING! You are incredibly talented, sir!

no offence to others but you are defiantly one of the Talented(if not the Talented) one here your stuff is so amazing and detailed

I am loving it! If you cast this up and offer it to the community, I am definatly buying 1. AWESOME work!

very nice job, i was going to do one of these....................now i have to think of something else to do. but awesome job.

This looks awesome Dude. I can't wait to see the finished product

oK... that is beyond awesome!

Yes the organic feel of the sculpture is great and the detailing on the mouthpiece is out of this world.

Wow! Please place me on an interested list as soon as these become available!!! Incredible work!

Nice sculpting thier must be something in the water over thier,nicest kloon i have seen,impressive bro.

wow looks great

Finished the goggles yesterday. They are going to be held to the mask by magnets so there are no issues with hiding the fixings.
Decided to totally remake a face mask as I wasn't happy with how the tusks were sitting plus it was a bit on the heavy side! (that's the old face mask in the pic)
The new version is way lighter and much more refined as I managed to get rid of most of the casting joints. I also to got a much better finish from the bronze resin.

Amazing detail!

Love your sculpting style dig the quick connects you put on the sides of the faceplate.

You would be ritch if thees where avilble for selling ^^

So will they eventually be available to the community?

As always Julian this is awsome!

jules as martin says...great work as always...keep it up buddy...

That's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Beautiful work.

Loving all of it.

wow this is absolutely amazing. i can't wait to see how this turns out.

Thanks for all the kind comments chaps, you are too kind!
Did the first pull a few days ago and painted it up last night. I also mounted in the high powered magnets that hold the goggles in position. I'm meeting up with the guy that commissioned this at the weekend for a general fitting and for making the harness that will hold the breather mask in position.

this is truly a masterpiece! If you going to sell masks like this I would be the first one to buy one (and I'm sure manny more would be intrested too!)

Great work! I love to follow threads like thees!

Holy **** thats amazing, you are beyond amazing at sculpting

what are you using to paint it?

Wow...amazing! Put me on any interest list.

That is GORGEOUS!!!! I would love to see one of these in person!

Wow... simply incredible!!!!

I'd love to know what you'd want for one of these, providing you ever do a run. This easily blows away any currently available Plo mask out there... bar none.

Go ahead and shoot him a PM; I did. Julian is very nice and very responsive.

As the one and only Filoni might say... "Plo Kool"
This deserves an award or something, lol.

This guy is all finished now.
The breather mask snaps onto the main mask using popper fasteners so was able to do away with the under harness. The dendrils just detach from their connectors.
The whole costume is being unveiled at Invasion Belfast 3 at the beginning of October so I'll post up some pics with the costume then.
Thanks again for all the kind words guys, it really means alot! Cheers!

Looks awesome mate, another two weeks and I'll be able to take a gander at this up close and personal!

That is amazing... Nice work, man

I can't look anymore :O My eyes, they burn!!!

Beautiful

That is absolutely stunning, nice work sir! Any ideas on what the next project is going to be?

That is FREAKIN AMAZING!!!! Fantastic workmanship!!

Currently doing Tarfful on the side. 3 other guys in the Emerald Garrison including our resident Wookie Master Dougie Fett are all making Wookies.
But I'm really toying witha few different ideas for the next build after Tarfful. I have a ton of commissions to get through first so it'll be a while away yet.
Any of you guys got any suggestions?

a kit fisto would be nice ^^

kit fisto is actually a good idea, my daughter loves asoka tano, I think it would also be a good idea.

Ally an excellent job.

Im in as well! Phenominal!

that is the most amazing thing i have ever seen!!!!!!!!! i want one so bad!!! B^) really great job!!! Plo Koon is my favorite Jedi B^)

I have seen some brilliant things on this site, and the talent here inspires me on a daily basis. this, however, is possibly the most incredible piece of work I have laid my eyes on as yet. Simply beautiful work my friend, truly jaw dropping stuff

i have no words but simply amazing. i would love to own one of these. what a beautiful piece

This sculpt is something to be proud of Darth Serberus! These boards are host to some incredible talent.

Hey Jules, you goin' to get that damage to the display model fixed for Invasion Dublin?

I only happened upon this site today and I honestly can't believe my eyes at how someone can be so talented and that finished mask is stunning, what surprises me even more is that the creator of such a masterpiece is from the same little country as me

That is just unreal. Ridiculously good. Infact even thats an understatement!

Awesome work mate, that is a beautiful mask.
You'll have to get the guy you've done it for to get some photos up on here when he's kitted up

Leo

Great work on the Ploo Kloon! This looks really nice! I can't wait to see the complete costume!

Like Boba Leo said...."it's really an amazing work!!!!!!!! congratulations"

Congrats as well and keep it up!

This looks fantastic! I can't wait to see the completed costume...

that is incredible. detail is awesome, seriously great work!

This is the Best Plo Koon mask ive ever seen O: how much would you charge for one of these? i would be greatly interested in it to complete my plo koon costume for the Legion

WOW....I'm speechless at this .......The amount of detail in that surpasses any of the plo masks I've ever seen, you sir are one of the most talented people I have ever come across, and i might be able to go to invasion Belfast 3 myself :3, if i can press my luck seeing as my dad already took me to Dublin city west on may 4th so I wouldn't count on it. If i was to go however I'd probably wear my WIP republic commando armour , anyway great build, by far the best I've seen in a long time

Absolutely Incredible! Very inspiring!
