3D model and build of McQuarrie Vader helmet.

A little bit of an update:
I molded the lens bucks from a negative print in two parts(screwed together):

And vacformed the lens pair:

and dyed these with some iDye Poly. Turned out quite alright.

Next up would be the tusks. I can't quite decide what to do with those. They're not really visible in the sketches but I like them to be there to contrast the black. My first version(printed) were a bit to round and ended up looking a bit like two b00bs and I don't really want to go that route so need to figure out some other design that aligns with the rest of the helmet.

WOW. What an amazing Job. I find this version of Vader very angular and pointed. I think a scaled version of the V2/Michell cone knob would flow well.

I have zero photoshop skills or I would have done a mockup, but the picture in my head looks good, LOL.
