(Another) First Class Magneto Helmet

[ProtoProfessor]

Hey all, first time poster here at the RPF, so greetings! Like several other people on here, I was a big fan of the helmet design in X-Men First Class...so naturally had to make one of my own. This is the current state of my build, a little more left to do on the sculpt but it should be ready for mold making by the end of the week. Trying to decide if I should clean up that fugly interior even though it'll be cut out in the casts

If anyone's interested, I'll be posting some process on the ol' blog once I wrap up the sculpt. On a separate note, anyone know of a good tutorial for using the lightbox to display images? Would way prefer that to imbedding...

Very impressive.. Glad to see another magneto helmet build! Especially one this good. What material did you use??

Talent. I sees it.

Talent? This is a damn masterpiece! Friggin' nailed it on the first go.

Thanks for the kind words! This guy is insulation foam covered in Smooth-On's shell shock urethane resin and several passes of body filler. The trim is styrene but has also received a fair amount of filler over the course of the build, and of course there was an ungodly amount of sanding involved

LOL.. i think the common theme to all these magneto builds is an ungodly amount of sanding...i hope mine looks half as good as this when its done. Looking forward to seeing this in action
