Y-wing / A-Wing helmet ROTJ scratchbuild

Thanks! Here's another few of it back in primer... still a few minor changes to be made, but it's feeling quite close now.

After this I've just closed up the front section in preparation for the moulding process. Anyone got any links on here to a step by step moulding process?
Heatshock, I think I need your advice regarding moulding! Overall though I feel I'm getting there!

Hi thanks!
That one and the one Heatshock mailed me of his build is great. Arca Barracks :: Building a New Lid - WE MUST DO BETTER. That tutorial is pretty good, but you need to register with Arca Barracks...
 
...ahh there it is! That is an awesome helmet and a fantastic tutorial! Thanks for finding it and to Evo3 for kindly running through it step by step!

Dex, that's a gorgeous helmet! I have one of the RA Y-Wing helmets, and it built up into a nice display piece.
But yours looks much more accurate. If you consider doing a run sometime, I'd be interested. (y)
 
Hi, thankyou! I've tried to get it as close as I possibly can with all the reference pictures I can find.
If I do a small run, I'll let members on here know first. It was going to be just one or two for me, but I may do a few complete with goggles.

Best Regards
Rich

Dex - soz I've been on hols mate, pm replied. EVO3 did a very nice step-by-step process of his molding on CT.net EVO3's Helmet Molding 101 - 501st CloneTroopers Detachment
My version is a modified version of his with products and material available in the UK.

the 2 companies I have used and recommended are on post #1 and #2 of the thread :D

Superjedi: I use photographs of the original helmet markings...cut out the background and paint the markings over.Print them out on clear waterslide Decals.
Nate:My helmet moulds are destroyed and I no longer work on the helmet.To many errors! Waiting for a better one:).

Hi, it takes me too long! I'm just doing this one and will start the moulding soon. Then it's on with my ASOK CC helmet and I still really want a GMH!!

Thanks!
