Ah, the joys of Milliput...

Looking extra hard that helmet, I like it! :)
 
Re: Iron Man Helmet Sintra V2.0 (V 1.0 lays in ruins)

Wow! Your helmet looks impressive even without the paint. Are you making the armor as well?
 
Re: Iron Man Helmet Sintra V2.0 (V 1.0 lays in ruins)

Not yet. I'd like to go with the same method but I think it'll take me about FOR EVER to finish it :D So I'm exploring other ways...let's see what I come up with :D

Thanks for your posts guys

That helmet looks great!
I enjoyed the commentary.
Actually, when you get commentary like this, it lets us, your peers, remember that we all do this because we love our hobby and our vices.
More than anything else, this video might have inspired me to work with sintra and exopy to make armor :)

This looks like Pepakura, except it's simply more complex!

Awesome build :)

Even the shattered version is pretty.

Great video, photo's are good, but it's nice to see the helmet from various angles as you move it around.

And remember, there is no spoon.

But I'm really pleased with the overall outcome!
Sometimes I just stand there and watch the baby :D

Amazing job. And the base of this is sintra? How are you so talented with sintra? Because from what I've seen, sintra is very hard to bend around for things like helmets.
 
Re: Iron Man Helmet Sintra V2.0 (V 1.0 lays in ruins)

You just need to use small parts of sintra. You cannot to stuff with huge parts, when you heat it up, it will usually bend and make waves...making it look very odd. You need a ton of patience... Actually, all the white parts are sintra without even filler. The entire helmet was done using sintra and then I just used milliput and metallic filler. But anyways, sintra is a great material to work with, especially thanks to its thickness that usually works great for almost any armor/helmet. Still, need a lot of patience to heat properly, shape it, sand it and all that :D

I've worked on a 300 costume, a clone costume and other stuff before this and my experience is quite a ton ahahhahaha :D

Ok, front view...

Now THAT's what I'm talking about. Taking time to stand 6 feet back and photographing it from that distance makes a heck of a lot of difference. You get a better sense of the proportions without all that perspective distortion.

Anyone can photograph an Iron Man mask up close and stun people with details, but if you pull back far enough, does the mask survive the 6 feet test? That's why this shot sold me. The proportions look right - and bear in mind the SS photos are taken about 6 feet away. Using the 6 feet distance makes it a lot easier to compare your sculpt against a real life replica. (Yes, some cell phone cameras can't handle that, but include at least one shot 6 feet away of the mask looking directly into the camera so that the proportions can be verified.)

Well done!

It does look pretty good :)
And thanks for your words, it does mean a lot to me!
Especially considering the time I put on the making of the template!
