Hasbro Clone Helmet Conversion

[HeadlessHunter]

Oh look, heres the face plate with a quick blast of primer to help show up any uneven areas of which there are quite a few This is the stage that requires patience, sanding, filler, sanding, primer, filler etc.....

EDIT: Ok having trouble uploading pictures at the mo, will try again later

 

[HeadlessHunter]

try try again!! here she is with a few in progress shots of trying to get a nice contour to the front, with the filler I'm using its been a bit of a pain getting it all smooth, think its there now though! And a shot with a coat of primer

 

[Viper Legends]

That's looking awesome!

 

[HeadlessHunter]

Thanks for the kind comments, its been fun so far, cant wait to slap it all together and see how it looks

 

[stormtrooperguy]

looking great! i just got one of these myself this weekend, and have plans to do the same thing.

 

[Murphoid]

Wowee! That looks surprisingly good! I'll be watching this thread eagerly for updates.

Ha ha, lets just see how mine turns out for now, I might make a complete hash of it

 

[HeadlessHunter]

Still loads of details to fill in/sand/adjust but you get the general idea, oh and running out of primer is a pain in the neck

 

[mckenic]

This is looking VERY cool!

Its tempting me to take mine apart....

 

[Mojo Fett]

Joe that looks killer bruv...
I know what you mean about running out of a paint! it really does my head in! :wacko

Are you gonna use Halfords appliance paint for the lid?

 

[HeadlessHunter]

Well.....I 'might' look at getting a few copies made of the helmet depending how good the finished article is But yeah eventually good old Halfords Appliance Gloss White

 

[HeadlessHunter]

Update ****

I've started tackling the main seams of the helmet now, I used devcon epoxy to glue the helmet together, its great stuff really strong, stinks to high heaven so again please use in a well ventilated area!!! kitchens do not count.... Also got myself some more primer, were getting there, think I'm about 50% done on this now and still loving it

 

[Mojo Fett]

Hey Joe, still looking good but it looks you have decide to fill in all the detail on the right ear?

 

[HeadlessHunter]

I have yet to finish all the detail bits but I am following screen grabs of the clones, like this one the holes needed to be left unfilled so I could screw the thing back together before epoxying it

 

[Mojo Fett]

Oops my bad... please carry on....

 

[HeadlessHunter]

Its ok Gav, I forgive you mate

 

[MandalorFett]

That's looking really cool. Nice work!

 

[Bobby Fett UK]
