Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build Thread
After searching online for hours for a Thor helmet replica (helmet not worn often enough in the film...lame) so I decided to build a replica using the disguise costume helmet as a base. I will, however, build a helmet to the specs of the hero prop using this base and documentation I have collect from MARVEL STUDIOS and Comic-Con 2010 photos for references.

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
The plan is to cast it out either in Urethane resin, or lay it up in Fiberglass and then get it plated.

Here are some references of the sideshow 12", and of the film prop before it was electro plated:

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
So the movie helmet wasn't metal?

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
No both the Thor and Loki helmets were resin or fiberglass that were then plated.

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
What kind of plating is it? How could you get it to be metallic looking, without super chrome-looking and shiney?

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
Just normal chrome with a satin clear coat to dull it down

I have been looking into having the helm nickel plated locally, however another alternative I was looking into was Krylon Just Like Glass Chrome. I am open to any and all suggestions. With the GF gone for the holiday for 5 days I will be getting a lot done. On the schedule for tomorrow is glassing the interior crown piece, and wing/cheek guards. Pics will be updated of the WIP as well... |

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
Progress: Finally, I am in the process of laying up fiberglass into the crown, and wing/cheek guard I will post some pics tomorrow when everything is cured.

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
Just want to point out the crown on this is too flat and the wings are overly curved forward! |

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
Okay so being that I am using the base that I am in the fashion pepakura helmets are here. I went ahead and mixed a 3:1 ratio of Bondo, and Polyester resin, the added the hardeners in the same 3:1 ratio. The reason I did this was because polyester resin gets very hot when curing, and I did not want the base to warp being it is thin plastic.
The Bondo sets quick reducing the effect of the heat as the polyester resin hardens. I the laid 3.5oz fiberglass matte into the base dome of the crown and completed the wing/cheekguard pieces. My next step will be to finish fiberglassing the crown. |

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
Awesome. Like the Thor helmet allot. The whole Thor designs where splendid in my opinion. Heimdall´s helmet looked stunning as well.

Re: Thor (2011) Movie Helmet Build & Interest Thread
Alrighty, I am not done glassing the inside of the crown so I won't show its interior, but the wing/cheekgaurds are done with their first step.
