Fallout New Vegas Desert Helmet (pep-files)

[NeXXt]

I finished it. Second version is closer to game-model, but by the way it is still remake of first screenshots and wallpapers.

Hope it may be intersting for fallout-prop makers.

Very nice. It's a great look for not juts fallout costumes but a post apocalyptic costume in general.

 

[Gundytron]

That looks great! What did you use, styrene?

 

[terryr]

Well, since he posted pep files, I would guess it is a pepakura.

Realy cool! Definately somthing i'd like to try when I have the time. Thanks for the share!

Sluis Van Shipyards, paper form coated with resin and uragel. Acryllic spackle, milliput and priming. Of course, there's some styrene elements — fe: new air-filter.

Gundytron, I think so

lightbringer, not at all!

love this man..thanx for the photos..gives a good insight to how you did it.

One question. Did you coat the inside of the helmet with the Uragel?
It looks like from the pics you just resined it and fiberglassed.

 

[NeXXt]

burningman, not at all

About helmet:
1 step: resin coat inside and outside (simple compound epxy resin, not uragel);
2 step: fiberglassing the inner side (2 layers);
3 step: coated from the inside with Uragel (3-4 times);
4 step: tune form with milliput and putty.
5,6,7... sanding
