hey all,
Last week the weather was kinda crummy here in Tn so i decided to build something.I was motivated to make a bio-helmet after seeing the still pic of the Pred from the new Predators trailer.I believe he has been dubbed "Plow" but who knows.
in May ill be attending Wonderfest in KY and the effects guy and the director of Predators will be there,so this would be a great display helmet and i plan to get them to sign it right across the top!
Ive seen alot of "how do i" threads on here,so i took pics of each stage to show what can be done and how to do it.
so here we go,
first i used card-stock,not cardboard to build the helmet.i used my P1 helmet for sizing and using the photo of the Plow pred i built the helmet itself.i started with the face,built that,then built the top.again,using the P1 for size.i used masking tape to hold it together and built it in about 2 hours while catching up on some Tv.
heres the helmet next to the P1,since the Plow helmet is a dark pic i took some creative liberties and had fun with it.
in the pic,the cheeks of the Plow Bio appear to have "flare" to it.so there are side flares that make it look wider.since i only have 1 dark pic i had to roll with it.
once built i layered masking tape on the inside.this will help hold the helmet together and make it thicker once fiberglass is applied.i put 1 coat of fiberglass on the inside,then 2 on the outside.
