Looks good, How long did it take you?

 

[Howat Props]

thanks! couple of months, but that was only because i had loads of uni work slowing me down.

Great job on this! I kinda wanna try to tackle one of these helmets....

 

[Howat Props]

go for it! its a fun project. i dont think i mentioned this but the helmet isnt complete yet. it still need some heavy weathering and the horns need to be cast.
