DEAD SPACE Helmet - Lights installed

[SKS Props]

Here is another project I have been working on in between Borderlands orders.

Some people have been asking me how I got to my base sculpt for the DEAD SPACE helmet. So I though I would put up some of the process shots as a brief tutorial. The helmet sculpt is done in monster clay, then covered with Smooth-on Rebound 25. A trash cast is made out of Smooth Cast 300, then bondo is added to get the desired shape of the helmet. Once I have all of the details put on I will mold and cast it again for the final version.

I'm attempting to build one out of foam from scratch and I really wish I had the option of making it this way. Looks good.

I still have a long ways to go but I am going to try to make a limited run of these once it is complete
