Re: War Machine Helmet - JAM
Your welcome :cool. While proper ref pics are great if possible, some "guesstimating" has to be done as really this isn't something that has been technically released yet (maybe even call it artistic interpretation). A great example of this is TMP's first gen Iron Man suit.

Re: War Machine Helmet - JAM
Here's some updates on the helmet. I've got three of them now. All in various states.
The one on the left the one I test paints/faceplate opening/whatever else. The second is getting shaped better and the third is straight out of the mold. The middle one probably weights 2 pounds and is a lot thicker then the first one.

Gonna do a run if enough people want them? Looks great!

Re: War Machine Helmet - JAM
Thanks all for the comments!
I'm still working on the detailing. The inner chin lip (where the faceplate rests when its down)on the inside is done, I need to cut out the trapezoid on the bottom of the jaw line and the cheek plates on the inside still needs to be done. I would say over all this is 95 percent done!
This weekend I worked on the faceplate, trying to make it clear the center hump at the top of the helmet. I'm still trying to figure out paints as well. While the colors are close they are not perfect in my opinion. I'll be picking up some more paints and some hinges today to get the faceplate to swing open. Motorization will come later and will be an option to those who pick up a helmet from me.
The two helmets pictured are different sizes. I'll be re-molding the smaller one(Pictured on the right) as I think it looks more accurate and doesn't look so much like a pumpkin head. I have a large head and it fits me fine I just have to tuck my ears in and it slides right on.
Cheers

Re: War Machine Helmet - JAM
So its been a while since Ive updated on this project. Just finished pulling the main part of my helmet out of the mold. Next is the faceplate and back of the helmet. Waiting to get my hands on a Marvel select to confirm the accuracy of the back of the helmet.
Here are some pics, still working on the back of the helmet but it should be done by the end of this weekend.
the missing cheek plates will be added later and will most likely be metal. I have a pattern for them just have not put them in yet.

Re: War Machine Helmet - JAM
Thanks for the comments all! A lot of hard work has gone into this and I'm almost done with this part of the project. Here are some update pics. The black part of the helmet is raw unpainted straight out of the mold. Still doing detail work on the faceplate, and the back is almost done! I've fixed the mold so some of the "dents" you see in the helmet are gone in the newest casts.
Almost done!

Re: War Machine Helmet - JAM
Its been a long while, here's a quick pic update.
I've got 4 helmets now... one is still in the mold pictured later.
I started working on the pep armor and most of its been assembled. There still has to be a LOT of work done. I've resined the outside to help it keep its shape til I can get back to working on the armor.
Thats it for now

Re: War Machine Helmet - JAM
I love the way the mask is looking, im trying to get going on my own Ironman project, can i ask what the helmet is made of? what kinda material or plastic did you pour into the mold? :confused

Re: War Machine Helmet - JAM
The helmet was originally sculpted with plasticine clay on top of an Iron Man Helmet that I did a while back.
Then revised and revised til I got it to the point where I created a mold for it. Refined the cast off the first mold then remolded again.
The helmet is made of fiber glass, I'm planning on doing a Kevlar version for someone pretty soon.
