Thanks. This is a little on the small side, but fits me great. I plan to print, clean up, and mold a bigger one to sell casts and finished helmets.

I finally shelled the model and printed the helmet.

You can use black tinted latex. this is common for various symbiote costumes.

Jim Lee is my favorite comic artist, and I have wanted to make a Magneto helmet since I started prop making. This is the reference image from his 90s X-Men run that I used for my digital sculpt. I started out just sculpting the helmet, as I originally was going to do the helmet only as a...

Thank you. The pictures of the axe head are great.

Does anyone have behind the scenes or other non screen cap pictures of Euron Greyjoy's axe? I have used the usual google image search and only came up with 2 fairly bad pictures in terms of lighting and detail visibility.

Chest/shoulder piece, gauntlets, and grieves have been scaled to size and printed. Pictures of the pieces forthcoming after all pieces are assembled. Here is a preview in 3D model form. Here is another X-ray view showing the scale to a 6 ft human. There will be a 1 ft platform under the...

Chest/shoulders, gauntlets, and grieves 3D models courtesy of Do3D. They are not entirely accurate, so I will have to add detail and modify them as well as scale to my build size, but this saves me a good bit of work.

Here is a quick digital mock up for the body size of the suit. The human model is scaled to 6 ft and the suit mock up with the helmet stands at just over 7 ft. The feet will have a significant platform and the wearer will be slightly tiptoed with their heel raised. This is the best way to fit...

This is the part I was forgetting. I've only made one matrix mold and it was a 3D printed master.

I have a question about the molding. Since this is water based clay, what did you use to clay the sculpt before making the fiberglass shell, how did you seal the clay, and was it any difficulty cleaning the sculpt before pouring the silicone?

I came in to zBrush from clay sculpting. It was really just a lot of learning as I went. The hardest thing was learning how big to set the brush size and wear to use what brushes to get the shapes I want. The primary brushes I use are move, clay build up, dam_standard, pinch, and hPolish. You...

Now with helmet.
