I've been trying to source a replica of Federation Trooper Helmet from Blakes 7 for a couple of years now - with no luck.
So I finally decided to commission an artist (Lionback) to sculpt and cast a couple for me.
Here's a picture of an original.
Here is the finished sculpt
First mould
First cast, painted in gloss black to show the areas which will need smoothing. The finished ones will be matte black, which will look even smoother.
Lionback has included the old style climbing helmet I supplied him in the cast, which should make them easier to assemble.
Very happy with it.
Cheers
Steven
