Green Ranger Helmet Sculpt

You might consider trying a product called Mr Masking Sol Neo. I've never used it personally, but I bookmarked it awhile back with just such a purpose in mind. So as to not use too much, maybe you could use this product right against where the edges meet and beyond that just use good old fashion tape for larger masking. I only realized after having typed this suggestion that you said you'd already tried latex. I cannot remember for certain but this too may be latex based, however, from my understanding, it is well regarded in the modeling world. Your costume turned out great! I cracked up at the homeless man's appellation for you. It's nice that you got to make use of otherwise scrapped attempts. Keep up the good work!

You sly dog.
That's so clever.

Well, here they are: my final photos. I honestly wasted an extra couple months on a botched paint job. (NEVER try to spray from a can with the tip broken off). I had to sand down the silver and repaint it so many times I think I rounded off the teeth. Frankly the paint is still a little rough, but you can basically see what the finished helmet is. Now I also wish I hadn't spent all that time painting my master copy, because I need to recast a lighter, more wearable one anyway. My impatience actually lead to more time spent; yet another lesson learned. Anyway, thanks again for all the support and advice over the last year. I'm already thinking about how to improve this, so am sure I'll solicit more. I will start a new thread in that event and if I can ever get the rest of the suit/chest shield built!

This makes me squee with excitement. Awesome job!

We are our own worst critics, sir. That looks absolutely beautiful. Really well done.

Professional! Very cool to see this from start to finish. You should be proud, man. =)
I pay more attention to the pure front views, to check symmetry, and this just looks right on. Best of luck with your future projects!

This your helmet is beautiful. In it's own rights. Check your pms. If I didn't have one of my own I'd love one of yours.
