I like how the Behind the Scenes footage used a clip from X2 but labeled it X-Men (2000). :thumbsdown

Its really interesting that they made the two helmets to fit Bacon's and Fassbender's heads... I think I'd need a Bacon-shaped (lol) helmet since my head is longer from front to back like his.

The link to that video is now down sadly.

I did grab these stills from a shorter version that is still up.

I just finished watching everything on the bluray and the costuming featurette got me even more excited for thing helmet! I can't wait!

I'm curious though about the paint... What kind of paint did they use on the hero helmet? What colors too?

Registered just to comment on how amazing this build is. Really fantastic work! I would absolutely love to get on the list for the first run... if that's at all possible.

The reworking and attention to detail has been impressive, and it has clearly paid off. Mad props!!

Looks good, hope you put some keys in the bottom ring to hold it into your jacket. Hate to see it shift at the bottom end.

Way ahead of ya bruv..

Hey! Have you finished with this helmet? Are you planing to mass produce it? If so, I want to consider buy one, in red like the one at the end of the movie. Send me an email if so, so we can make a deal !

Production has started on multiple lids and will have a complete run within a 2 week turnover.

Thank you for your kind words, this is a fun project to work on so good luck with your build :thumbsup

It looks really good so far, can't wait to see it painted! I've heard good things about using cardboard in costume making. What in your opinion would be a better medium to use when making the prop, fiberglass or bondo?

 

[JBReplicas]

if you follow the link in post #253 you can see painted photos

When I made mine Bondo was the best medium for getting the overall shapes right, it took a lot of sanding to refine but in the end it was worth it, the helmets are now cast in strong fiberglass gel coat
