300 Leonida's Helmet - W.I.P.

[Fabio Testini]

hello, I know that as a prop is not very trendy, but I love this movie, and I wanted to make the Leonida's Helmet to be included in my personal collection.


Here are some photos:



I would like some advice to make the effect bronze. Not for the painting but to realize those little holes you see on the helmet

Hey dude, have I seen your model work on Google before? I swear I recognize your name.

Possibly you could just mix your bondo with an incredible amount of air in it, and use a small drill bit or dremel to extend the ones you want, and spot putty to cover those you don't?

I really want this BAAAAD!
I got some files but they are all card pep files. I want to make this out of foam

Not a good idea as that can cause cracks or failure in the bondo. I would say to just manually try to sculpt into the bondo or use hammered style paint, check the rustoleum line as it looks very nice. Or hell do a combo of both, sculpt some bigger hammer marks and let the paint do the rest.

I don't think so sir, he has already done some solid bondo coats(by the looks of it anyway). Your hammer paint idea is the better one though. Just comes down to cost.
