Well, I am definitely finding the parts of the helmet that aren't super accurate as I finish up with the painting... but seeing as this is my first attempt at any sort of build, I am okay with that. Plus I am really happy with how it came out, even if there are some blemishes.


I got some acrylic and installed the lenses. I also toned down that bright brown paint over the whole thing, and added the detail. I can't believe how much the detail adds to the piece! I was really afraid putting the black and grey on the helmet, I didn't want to mess it up, but it just adds so much. I guess because that is how its supposed to look. :)

I ordered some deerskin from etsy, and it's beautiful, but it is not the right texture. I didn't realize there are different leather textures, and mine is suede-y. Its okay, Still used it and installed it on the snout.


I made stencils for the side emblems on my Cricut machine and just brushed them on (the majority of the helmet had been airbrushed)[ATTACH=full]177884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]177885[/ATTACH]

here it is after weathering and installing the rest of the leather. I'm really happy with it. The 3D print itself is a bit small. I had installed some foam inside the helmet for comfort, but when all was said and done, I had to remove it because it wouldn't fit otherwise.


I can't wait to get started on the rest of the costume!!
