After many tries of 3d modeling this helmet myself, I finally bit the bullet and had it commissioned out. But now I am finally printing!!!! credit for the 3d model goes to creative_customz (santiclause) who did an amazing job and was great to work with when explaining what I wanted. He did an awesome job!
I have split the 3d model into 4 parts so that I can print it with minimal support material. This print will also be a test fit to see how the scaling turns out. I may also make changes to how I have split the model up to make it easier to put on. After I am happy with all of that I will beginning filling and painting and may later cast the helmet in a more durable material. I am printing in PLA because it doesn't warp as bad as abs but is not as strong. I will be posting pics of each part as they come off the printer and as I assemble and paint everything. Stay tuned.
