So I had a whole post all typed out, and just before I posted it, my browser crashed. So I'm just gonna post the gist of it.
I'm scratch building a Mandalorian Death Watch helmet out of cardboard, fiberglass, and bondo. I used the same method to build a Coruscant Guard helmet, and that can be seen over at the Special Ops detachment.

I'm having to use some artistic liberty in the design in order to make some lines work. I'm also filling in some of the detail gaps, and I'm drawing from the Super Commando helmet to add some of the more finer details (that will come later on, though).
Anyways, I'm only at the cardboard stage. By now I would have finished the cardboard stage to the Coruscant Guard helmet, but this is such a far more complex design that this stage is taking a while.

I DO plan on casting this and selling copies once I'm finished with it. But please understand, that won't happen for a while. I estimate that it will be way into next year before I get to that stage. I plan on taking my time with this helmet because I have a lot of school work to focus on.
