How about BIG BAD BEETLEBORGS helmets?

[Jmen]

Ok, guys, i start it. Just helmet, now whole suit. Step 1. Paper model. (done). I see no reason show it now, its just a paper base head.


Step 2. Resin and fiberglass.
Step 3. putty (filler).

Ok, here is the helmet stuff I found, it's years old and taken before digital cameras, so please forgive the blurry pics. Enjoy.

Hi guys. there is no photos yet, but i started to make a helmet, as i promise. i had some photos, but all they are here

Looking sweet. Which leads to the inevitable question: When are the unfolded files released? DUN DUN DUNNNN!!!

But seriously, take whatever time you need. Hobbys a hobby, and properly unfolded files are better than rushed ones anyway.

Now we just need files of red & green....

Vey neat to see! Thanks for sharing!

 

[Jmen]

+1 Thanx for sharing. i will finished my predator project and will back to borgs)))

 

[Atomsk85]

These would be really easy to print out on a 3D printer

 

[DizzyStrmtroopr]

ive always had mad respect for the propmakers that have built beetleborgs/kamenrider/powerrangers. top quality costumes and the attention to detail! its almost upsetting everything can just be 3D printed nowadays. this is the kind of stuff i want to do with my life.

 

[NoxRocks]

Thanks a million! This has been a dream project for me since I was young. Always wanted to be a Beetleborg and now I may be able to!
