Re: Sylgian's Sith Stalker Helmet (WIP)
Back again. Working on the inner helmet today. Lots of bondo. I am adding the ridges along the sides of the helm, and I made the little hole in the back panel.
In other news, I have some sintra on the way. I plan on using it for the cheek covers. And I ordered enough so that I'll have plenty to make a mandalorian helmet when this one is finished
Lookin good

I've spent a lot of my weekend working on the inner helmet. Its been wonderful. It's not always the case that I have lots of time to commit to it.
Anyway. I have been doing bondo and sanding for hours. And I am proud to show you the inner helm all primered! There are some nicks I will need to fill in, but I am really excited to see it one color and finally looking like something.

I finished up the day mounting the outer shell to the inner helmet. It worked out pretty well. So far I have managed to keep everything completely modular. All the pieces can be easily separated if its ever necessary.
Holes drilled through the inner helm.
Glued the bosses onto the outer shell with epoxy
Mount with screws and washers

Re: Sylgian's Sith Stalker Helmet (WIP)
I did a little more work today. Most was spent on the breather on the front of the helmet. I finally have a mounting solution I like. I made a bracket out of scrap ABS. From that I mounted the breather with some magnets. I really like it. It makes a really satisfying click when you snap it in place and satisfies my silly need to keep it completely modular I have no idea why its so important to me, lol.
Also mounted to the bracket I made is a fan. It runs off of a 9V battery I will be mounting in the done of the helm where there is plenty of room at the peak.
Breather on
Breather off
Some shots from inside
I also made my cheek cover patterns. I will be making these out of 2mm sintra which arrives tomorrow. Cant wait to get to work on those, but it will have to wait for a week while I am on vacation. See you after the break!

Well my sintra came in today and I just could not resist working on the helmet. I fabricated the cheek covers. I must say, the sintra is AWESOME. It was soooo nice to fabricate something that didn't require bondo and sanding, lol.
Anyway. I got the cheek covers to fit really well, I am really happy with the contours. I also mounted them with more magnets. The helm snaps together like legos. HA.
I made a quick video, enjoy:

Re: Sylgian's Sith Stalker Helmet (WIP)
I am back from vacation. I am really excited to get back to work.. on the helmet anyhow. I spent last night painting and weathering. I need to add a clear coat to the freshly painted pieces, then add padding and mount the battery. Then we are pretty much done.
It is very close to being complete. Here are some pics.

Clear coating done, padding in, the fan is functional. It's 99% done.
First some pics, then i will explain the last 1%.
PLUSH INTERIOR
I painted it all black in there, basically because it was bright pink cardstock before. You will notice I fabricated a small box for the 9V to sit in. My head does not hit it, the slight peak of the helm gave me just enough room.
final paint
And for the last 1% of the project. I will be mounting an old pair of my glasses in the helm These magnets were flush mounted for that purpose.
And just in case you missed it VIDEO #2 VIDEO #2 VIDEO #2 VIDEO #2 VIDEO #2 VIDEO #2
