O.K., so I downloaded the WoF Templates and made one out of paper with just the the outsides to see if it would actually fit me. I also made the dome out of paper just to see if that crazy orange peel could have any hope of becoming a dome. It did.
So with "Cheapo Fett 0.01b" under my belt I decided to try something a little more involved. After reading the amazing AntMan tutorial I knew what to do. Enter "Cheapo Fett v0.02b". I couldn't find anywhere to buy the cardboard. Well lucky me I found a huge pile of discarded three ring binders at work and so...
As modeled by my lovely daughter Elizabeth. It came out O.K. considering I had to piece together a stack of 10" x 12" cardboard pieces of various thickness, texture, and material consistency.
Here's a few other shots...
The visor is only sitting in there for effect, not mounted at all. I will still need to finish it with a filler of some sort, seal and paint before I actually mount it. The shape is O.K. and the structure is fairly solid. It's much heavier than I thought it would be. I could use some help though. I can't get the ears right. I mutilated the cardboard ones that I tried to make like Antman's. When I tried to sculpt one out of floral foam it was to weak and just disintegrated. Also, and worst of all, I can't fit my big nose in it :cry
I do not know if it's because the templates reduced slightly during printing, or if perhaps the design by nature was just to small but my big nose presses firmly (FIRMLY!) against the visor when I wear it. Luckily the amazing Allen has provided me with the cad files so I can attempt to resize them slightly to the +. And I also managed to finally find a piece of framing mat board I am going to try on the next one. It is only 1/16" thick so I don't know if it will work. I'll give it a go and see what happens.
