Re: Iron Man Helmet Sintra V2.0 (V 1.0 lays in ruins)
@Ninja: Yeah, exactly. Easier for simmetry, a pain in the a** for everything else.
Actually, I must say, basic structure is probably easier and quicker, especially if you use the template I made. Generally speaking, it's quicker for anything that concerns the structure, any kind. But it's really hard when you have to do details. Even though I'm a freak about details and precision, I can tell you that once you bondo it and you sand it, if you find out, you did something wrong, you can shoot yourself. You need to bondo it again, and again, and again
It's really about luck sometimes. And also, you have simmetry issues when bondoing.
It took me for ever to do some things, like one screw of the faceplate...i did it 8 times...just wouldn't sit there...kept popping out...8 times means about 90 minutes...
With clay, it's quicker. You mess up, you wipe it out and put clay over it again. For small details I bet clay is way quicker once you have the proper tools.
@Vader
I wear a 7 3/8 Baseball Hat New Era.
I have hard time to slip it over my head, but I can still make it. My head thogh is not really wide, I'd say long, but thin. So even if you have the same size overall, you might have to cut the back part and work the 3-piece magic to put it on. Once it's on, there's a lot of room. It's just a neck problem
By the way, I just measured my head:
24 inches
Also, I had to put double stratus of sintra inside the neck part, and that's what narrowed it. I guess that, on a cast, with less resin it would fit a 24 without problems.
I hope this ain't infranging rules...
