Fennec Helmet WIP

Worked on today while streaming on Twitch.

Spoiler: ...

So glad to see more of this character - hopefully we'll learn more about her

I may still need to address practical hinges for this thing, but I'm happy that most of this is done. Will probably next address the little greeblies she's got on her costume, but I'm not at a point personally where I'm ready to draft out her outfit. My printer's also been having some extrusion issues, so until I can adequately address them, I'll probably hold off printing this until then.

Love it!

Very nice.

Just a thought I had when rewatching episode 6. The real helmet might be a two piece magnetic helmet. It looks like a very snug fit to squeeze into. When she takes it on and off, you don't actually see her do so. She places the helmet on top of her head, then it cuts away.

It does seem to hinge open at least a bit, but I agree the fit is likely to be quite tight. I don't have a scan of my head yet, but a mannequin head model did look quite tight at the correct proportion. I will probably get family to help me out with some photos and just stitch together a rough model using MeshRoom, but I've always known my head was a bit on the bigger side too (i have a history of misjudging helmet size and appropriate head openings), so some futzing around might be in order before any official printing happens.

Nice model,

but you should share a smaller image.. The loading time is slow.

Thanks for the feedback - I have cropped, saved as .JPG, and reuploaded so load times should be a lot quicker moving forward.

How is it coming along?
