Saz custom build #1 Krayt dragon

Hi guys,

Me again!

Now I have finished the Master bucket I will be making a couple to keep as master copies for further projects. I will be slowly improving on my initial design but first I will be working on an idea I've had for a while.

I enjoy making buckets, that I have found out, I have always had the intention of making limited run art pieces based on the Mandalorian helmet and this one is probably my coolest design.

I've been learning Japanese for a while now, I'm kind of at kindergarten level with it, but I am strongly influenced by the culture and I thought what would be cool is to make a bucket with a Japanese dragon on it.

"But" I thought, "it's not very starwars!".

So I looked in my little dictionary and found the Krayt Dragon, looked on the net, found a few visual references and came up with the following design.

I used the mando maker to help me get the base look of the helmet, so props to that tool.

I also did a 3-d representation of what it would look like in pen:

I will be making only 10 of these art pieces and I will collect names on a first come first serve basis when I run out of room in my house and I am forced to sell them.

I like the idea of only 10 people in the world having the design :)

Once I get my new resin in I will cast me off a helmet and begin the design.
 
Looks awesome!

I've been toying with the idea of having Star Wars creatures on my bucket, but I don't think I have the skill required, having tried it myself once.

Can't wait to see it done, and I'd be happy to own one!

Hey! keep me in mind here! I couldn't get one for at least a few months (wedding kind of saps the financial resources, y'know), but I REALLY like the dragon.
 
When I am forced to sell them (due to space and money constraints) I'll be looking at about £100 plus any postage (and insurance if you choose it), as I will not go further than 10 versions, so they'll be pretty exclusive.

Of course, I have to build the master first and I need to get my resin to cast out a few copies of the master.

Will be progressing it here with photies, as is my wote :D
 
£100 for this?! *picks up jaw from keyboard* wow! That's pretty cheap considering (note: this isnt an excuse to raise the price xD)

Can't wait to see what it looks like fully made!

Depending on costs it will be around that mark, I enjoy doing it and I think I will get great enjoyment looking on TDH, seeing some guy or gal at a convention wearing a helmet that I made.

I have always aimed it at the "Don't want 100% accurate, I want affordable" market as there are so many great makers in the accurate area and not everyone wants a Boba or Jango or want to build their own.

I think it's more valuable to me to see people enjoy my creations, that's just the way I am I guess :)
 
Nothing wrong with that :D

I'd like to develop the skills to make these helmets, and you'd get enough enjoyment from me for eleventy-thousand people :p
 
I am definetaly subscriping to this. I would reallllllly like one of these. If I will be able to buy one of these in time when you will be selling them I just had an amazing idea for a whole armor scheme based on the helmet.. Hmm I see my next project and my V2 armor...
Sorry I am no good with curency exchange rates. About how much would £100 equal in US American Dollars? (Why do I have a strange feeling its $200... Shiping might kill me too.)
*Runs over to piggy bank, shakes it* *shakes his head**thinks to himself, "I better start saving now!"*
You rock Saz!
 
Whoah! Cool, Saz! I can't wait to see this thing in the flesh. :D As felshy as pixels can get, that is. ;) If only I had money!

i think USD is roughly double UK pounds, which has saved me alot on eBay!!!

If I can scrape it together when you're selling them I'd gladly pay $200-ish for one of those!

Nevu440: I was thinking the same thing: an entire armor set base around that dragon.
 
Will be a while mate, I have to get the basic helmets out to the people that want them first and then I can concentrate on this bad boy!

*Edit* I might be persuaded to do 2 runs of 10 if current interest levels rise.

As fate would have it, I made a bucket that was too thin at the ends to sell, so I have primered it and will be drawing on the picture to the side of the bucket sometime soon. I am still working on things for the normal bucket pieces though first.
