As I mentioned in another topic I had an idea to build a helmet around the look of a At-St driver helmet with a traditional "fett" face.Well I had orginally scraped that idea after reading opinions of others on another fourm and relized it might not look good.
But I had already built the dome and helmet skirt and I just could not bring myself to destroy all that I had built so far.So I did a little "regrouping" I changed up the face.I still have some shaping to do to even out the sides and cruves.I have not painted yet what you see is the dome after first blocking and prime.The face is not painted and is in raw sintra.So not to bore you any longer with background stuff here is what I have so far.
before you say it yes I know it has a look of cobra commander
for a neck seal I have a sandblasteing helmet cavas seal to attach to the bottom of the helmet
Just incase you are wondering I have NO plans to add range finder stalk
I had thought of attaching a antenna or something like that to side
I drew a t-visor to get an idea for placement.I have not decided on the style the t-visor will be.I might do a curved one to go with the shape of the front
Well that it in all it unfinished glory.I will share up dates as they go.I have not choosen colors yet.I doubt I will put together a suit to go along with this.As I mentioned I just could not destory what I had started and had to finsh it.Before any negative comments are shared please remember this is a work in progress so it is ruff looking.
I could not leave this thread without sharring a level of respect for all that scratch build their helmets and items.I complete scratch built this helmet and it took alot longer than I first thought.The dome was a royal pain to shape out of sintra.A ton of patinece was earned doing the dome.
Thank you to all that share tutorial on building helmets.They helped out and I could not have done this wihout your help.
