Nice to me you and thank you very much. It is about a day away from the first pull. How is your clone/rebel crossover costume coming along? I hear Danny is starting a new magneto helmet, he is addicted to the pep

Re: Another First Class Magneto Helmet **Update 15/09 molding**

First pull was good and bad. The mold detail came out spot on but im not happy with the rigidity of the casting or the small bubble inclusions.

I used smooth-cast 60D which gave way too much flexibility and very little ability to sand. So i'm gonna buy some Smooth-cast 300 next. If anyone has any other ideas on what to use in the smooth cast range let me know


... im gonna leave it set overnight and see how hard it gets.

Hey JayB, Ive been watching some tutorials and this guy uses Smooth-cast 300. Check him out. Man this helmet is expensive :cry

Use 65D Jay

 

[lokidwargod]

Very nice.

 

[jaybible]

Is there really that much of a different between 60D and 65D Khan?.. I must admit i was thinking of changing alright. I will have a decision made in the morning

Lol,Danny i actually just watched that vid today. I rang my smooth-on supplier and he advised against the 300 for slush cast, but im not sure what way to go.

Awesome job jaybible.thumbsup:thumbsup

 

[vtswordfish]

Looks great..love all the first class builds, each one is awesome!

 

[jaybible]

Ok after much discussion and advice I have decided to mold this helmet using a gelcoat out layer with fibreglass support layers. First pull will be wednesday hopefully... this just gets more and more expensive

A big thanks to Clinton(finhead) and Tim Allen!

Sorry I havent updated in a while, I've been pretty occupied with moving to Australia. Just starting to settle in now over here so i wont be doing much for a little while. I did take this pic before i left Ireland

As for helmet production, I have left it to one of my friends who is well able to carry on the work, so im giving him a wk or so to practise before he starts production. fingers crossed all goes well and i get to make a mold over here soon
