That buckle looks so clean and straight, did you do that by hand? it looks great !
G-Force/ Battle of the Planets/ Gatchaman Helmet

Yep, all by hand. Built the platform in MDF and then layed the G on with Apoxy Sculpt.
The trick was to lay down plastic T shape where I wanted the apex of the bevel to be. With my high point marked like that, I then just filled in the bevels down each side.

Been out sick for a few weeks. But what work I've got done has been further hampered by paint problems.
I'm back on my feet now, so it's just down to working out these last few glitches on the prototype before they are ready.

Any updates?
Had to put on hold for a little bit for a corporate rush job that came in. But I finished that last week and I'm going to try and have some new pics up this week.
Got a lot to catch up on, so bear with me.

Thanks for the interest, but please remember that we don't discuss sales in the open forum. Keep any such talk in the Junkyard.
This part of the forum shows up on Google and talking about sales here is a good way of getting your favorite project shut down with a 'cease and desist' before it ever gets finished.
Not slamming you or anyone else, Riceball. Just taking the opportunity to educate the community at large.

I totally understand. I look anxiously forward to when your JY post for this comes up. A Gatchaman costume has been on my to do list for a while now but the helmet was always the big stumbling block to doing it. Seeing your interpretation of the helmet has me thinking of how a re-imagining of the costume would go with your helmet.
Sorry to disappear again (I do that a lot). Had some corporate orders come in that had to be taken care of.
Anyway, I got the paint and vacuum table gremlins worked out of the system and am back on track. The visors are coming out clean with nice sharp detail. The helmet is in final paint now and hopefull it should all be finished soon.
Got the color corrected on the belt buckle too.:lol

soo awesome!
Awesome and a ginormous pain in the butt. Been trying to figure out how to tint the visors for the past 2 and a half weeks with no luck. Right now, that's all that's holding me up from finishing this.
