Heavy Duty Helmet: Sandtrooper

[NAZGÛL]

Great ideas! I prefer the lightweight studio look, but understand the realistic vibe of this.

One other thought I had - the stuff (Kwik-kast) is listed on the spec page as being a polyurethane product. What about a clear polyurethane floor sealant? I imagine it would require more coats, as I'm guessing it's thinner than the casting material, but is that a possibility do you think, or is it a totally different type of product?

I did some more work to this helmet today. I think I can safely say that it's finally finished! Hooray!

Fantastic work, I'll be sure to reference this when I build a bucket of my own. I very much like that interior. My AM helmet is a bit too frankensteinish for me and is due for a replacement.

Your Sandtrooper turned out beautifully!

Great idea and great job

It's a really inspiring build up, and a great tutorial. Beautifully executed too. I also think your neo magnet trick is genious, I've got a box of them sitting around and never thought to use then as clamps!

An awsome bucket and an awesome build. Surely it will stand the test of time and endure anything you'll throw at it....quite literally Paintjob is top notch!!

Tk4702, could you point me in the direction of where I could pick up a ROTS clone trooper bucket? I've been looking around the 501st and clone troopers.net but haven't had much luck. Any help would be appreciated

To bad that all the pictures has been lost. Is there any chance that you can repost the pics or this thread?

You can find photos from all my projects on flickr: jjmcclear's photosets on Flickr
