Phase 1 Bacara helmet project (DONE!)

[KaanE]

IMO The phase 1 design is better than the phase 2 one, well done EVO3!

New updates today. I molded the master and made my first pull a few days ago. Visor and frown vents have been cut. I also finished up the removable neck ring. Here are the pics.

My plan is to start painting it tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

That came out really nice. Awesome work. Now let's hope Bacara looks this good.

wht material is that?Plastic?

(newbie)=)

 

[nzjedi]

Plastic is a material property, not a material. The material looks like urethane to me (correct me if I'm wrong Evo)

Yes sir, it is resin. Smoothcast Roto to be exact.

Got it painted in white today, and tomorrow i'll be shooting the grey for the cheek covers. I'll be able to start detail and weathering after that. Stay tuned for more pics.

You mean the one that keeps getting put on the back burner?

I dunno, Its ready for molding and ive got the RTV now to do it but........

I know ive said this a buncha times before but this time i mean it. After this new Bacara helmet gets done, i'll mold up the Pilot helmet. No lie!

 

[Mereel]

Wow, that's looking incredible. If I had the dough, I wouldn't mind owning one myself.

 

[MORGUE]

Beautiful my friend! Just simply awesome work as usual! I wanna paint one of those.....or several!

Thanks Jon. You may get your shot at a few of them.


Im happy to say that the helmet is complete! Ive spent the last few days painting and weathering. Even made a new antenna for it. Its a bit different than the phase II antenna. I was gonna go for a different paint job, but then i kind like the simplicity of the paint job of the phase II, so i stuck with it. I may add a stripe or two later down the line. For now though, im happy with the way it turned out.

A shot from the bottom of the removable neck ring. Its pretty well concealed.

Im gonna try and get suited up later today and get pics of it with the rest of my armor, if time allows.
