A Question about the "HOVI MIX PA2" Tips:

Wondering which diameter do the have (in mm, 16 or 18?)

Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP from Newbie

Little "big" improvment on the "lower cheeks" to make it more accurate.

Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP from Newbie

Looking great, you're bang on!!
My only comment would be you could miter a little of the roundness out of the upper back corner of the eyes... the eyes should have a general upside-down "triangle" look.

You're right with that triangle look, but i don't even started working at the eyes yet .... :rolleyes

The detailing of the nose/frown and the eyes is the next step
 
Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP from Newbie

Todays *bang up* update:

Worked on the shape of the eyes to get it more triangular with my new bought dremel 3000 set....

The total cost of material so far:

- Epoxy, ca. 250ml, gift from neighbour, 0 €
- glassfiber 2 different types ea. 4,50 in sum 9 €
- 1kg Car-2K-Filler 9,90 €
- 0,5 kg Car-2K-Filler fine 9,0 €
- 100gr Car-1K-Spotputty 4,95 €
- 500ml Sprayprimer 5,95 €

Some sandpaper und some cheapo brushes for fiberglassing

Tools (can be used for many more projects... somewhat i also ever wanted to buy)
Mousesander 29,95 €
Dremel 3000 Set 25 69,90 €


I sprayed one light coat of primer on to see (many) imperfections an to compare shape to pictures of real ANH-Helmets better :

Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP from Newbie

wow, starts looking great!
one question: aprox. how much bondo had you use at his point? i ask because i am starting my helmet but still in the papercraft stage using Firefek's pdo.
 
Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP from Newbie

My 1 kg Can of "Filler-Bondo" is empty, now i start to detail it with a new can of 0,5 kg "Fine-Bondo", but there is not much left to do with bondo.


Also got some Milliput to shape some parts.

Helmet overall weight at the moment is less then 1 kg...
 
Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP from Newbie

Todays update:

Extended the ridge on the back an smoothed out the curves of the "tube" all around.

Marked the "idents" at the dome for cuting in one of the next steps.

The is always much to do at the nose and the brow


I think i will build extra ears to mount on to get closer to the ANH look, but i think it will be more difficult than sculpting them direct to the helmet




For the records: weight is now at 0,970 kg, i think that is ok

Masking-Tape and a thin layer of bondo on the back, slightly over the edge of tape.

Then pull of the tape bevor the bondo cured!
 
Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP from Newbie

Update for today:

cut out trapezoids and sanded whole thing (and got somehow to deep to the pepakura) add some milliput and epoxy-putty
 
Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP from Newbie

Done the trapezoids on the back of the dome and overall improvements and shaping.

i decided to go with the asymetric look of the ANH Helmet, try also to match the imperfection at the right eye.

Weight is still under one kilogram (0,988kg)

Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP *UPDATE*

Little update:

Add the Temple at side of the Dome.

Slight improvements on the eyes and the frown.

overall smoothing.

Next steps will be the frown itselfs, the "teardrops", the vocoder and the area around the mic-tips.

Last big step will be the ears, which i will make seperatly....


I hope i will catch the asymtric look of the original ANH Helmets.

Re: ANH Stormtrooper Helmet Pepakura WIP *UPDATE*

Not bad for your first try. Some of the details still need some beefing up and refinement.
