RMQ Concept Helmet V1

[skaalaluke]

Today I recieved my SGB MQ helmet from RepubliC0mmando. I plan on sanding and filling the imperfections and picking a color scheme similar to that of the V2 helmet as I think that would stay true to his vision.

Enjoy it man, it's a great piece. Happy it's to a owner who will appreciate it

Got it all sanded down and primed. Letting it set over night then I'll go at it with the bondo.

I have a few spots on the helmet I plan on fixing, one of them being the shape of the (let's call it the respirator). Here it is on helmet.

Here it is on the picture (computer didn't cooperate so it's a picture of a picture lol)

I will also be building the RF and RF stalk as the ones that came with do not have the right shape, almost like a submarine if you will for the stalk.

Last but not least the 3 pieces/tubes/greeblies/whathaveyou, are not quite the shape I want them to be. I know this pic for reference is from SSC statue (incorrect RF) but I think it feels fuller than what I have.

Please everyone feel free to add input and hope this post turns out alright because it's all from my phone lol

Yeh Im interested to see what you do here....the wonkiness bothers me. Ive got one to work on sometime in the near future for Jodokast....was thinking about messing with that mouth area also....but hadn't given it much more thought then it looks off as is.

Times like these are where I wish I was a machinist and not a welder lol. I'd try and whip these up because they almost look like the bottoms of a Saber hilt

Yeh, would be nice to have them in metal...

 

[superjedi]

Yeah, if those 3 respirator parts were offered in metal I'd consider picking up a set.

I have to score one of those...Is RepubliC0mmando the only one who makes these?

 

[skaalaluke]

It's actually a skygunbros, he just happened to be selling it in the cargo hold!

Wonder if toolguy301 could do them in metal on shapeways?

Here's my vision of the respirators:

I would need the diameter of the respirators, so I can resize them to fit the helmet.

Those are perfect! When I get off of work I will take some measurements and shoot them over to you.

Gonna throw em on shapeways Rafal?

I already uploaded them to Shapeways, but will make them public when all the measurements are OK.

Here's what I think you need.

Thanks for those, Dom. These were my measurements for the first try: all the pieces have 40mm in diameter; the left piece is 48mm tall, the piece on the center was 19,5mm tall and the piece on the right is 44mm tall. After I talked with @skaaluke in PM, who gave me the measurements, I reduced the diameter of the center piece to 36mm and the height with 0,5mm (to correct an error on the model to be printed in metal), while the rest of the measurements were left untouched.

 

[RafalFett]

After another PM conversation, the length of the central piece was modified with 11mm, and now it has 30mm.

Order placed, parts should be here in about a week and a half!
