The helmet wings are also nearly done, I fabricated a mount to connect the wings to the helmet that would be more secure.
ill cover them in worbla that way the wings that are mainly worbla will attach then the bolts will go through the helmet and be a secure mount
cut the wings and copied the damage to them from the comic cover photo, the spines of the wings are bamboo food skewers they were the right diameter and they were already pointed.
I covered the bamboo spines with worbla made the two top larger spines from just worbla then heated and attached it all together. it will still need a little adjusting once there mounted.

I genuinely can't wait to see all this come together. Whatever convention you wear this to, I'm there, I want to see this beauty up close!

the helmet is almost finished just a few tiny spots to fill, i have a new appreciation for all you who make helmets with resin and filler its not easy and its hard to see the end result, I looked like a six foot snowman in the garden covered in filler dust from the electric sander but finally it took shape. The visors are not fixed nor is the helmet badge just wanted a mock up of how it would look.
now its lots of primer and sanding, working on if i should gloss black and weather down like the dredd helmets or satin black either way i will make it look weathered and worn

Been doing repair work mainly I'm working on the mark 3 visors the other two mark 1 never fit and mark 2 were to weak even after adding fibre glass and filler, the front chin guard also developed a large crack here it joins the main body of the helmet so I had to remove the internal and external parts and start again. glad it happened now rather than when t as all primed and painted.
I did manage to make a mold and cast some spikes from resin and add them.
the wings are now fixed and now its had a leveling coat and three coats of primmer hen the visors are finished ill give it a satin black top coat.

the mk1 helmet with mk2 chin guard and mk3 visors is done (well need a couple of small magnets to stop visors flapping)
when I get some leathers ill make them look mad max style what I would like help/advice on is making the helmet look dusty/dirty below is a rough attempt and is changeable as is the red inside the visors is just for effect.

Wow, this is amazing! Well done, excellent work.
I'm thinking to make a Judge Death or Fire. Maybe we can join forces at one con and cast judgement!

Hey Gothic looking good! Cool idea to get some dust in there things look much more real when they've got a bit of crap on them
A neat trick for dust is using a wax mixed with bentonite or flyash or whatever you've got over there. you can wipe into the low points of the object and the wax will keep it there cheers!

ootagoota flyash seems to be harder to find in small amounts but I found this hope it the stuff you mean and its in smaller amounts

yeah man that will work! I guess it depends what kind of colouring you are going for. Flyash is a lot more grey/ brown whereas bentonite is more yellow. To be honest I have no idea what flyash and bentonite is actually meant to be used for! I've used it on a few swords and sandals prop making jobs I've worked on it goes great. When you look for a wax make sure it's not got too much solvent in it or it will attack the paint; beeswax is good

Judge Fire would be cool. I was wondering if a series of small PC cooling fans with red silk to create the constant fire effect, although the cost and workload would be weighty, not to mention that the effect may not work....

I worked on it from a different angle I thought more like ghost rider the spirit of vengeance awful film but great effects looks a lot like judge fire. another way I have thought of and tested is a larva effect to give the look of fire
I cut some EVA foam
1= back 2=chest 3&4=bottom of legs 5&6 cuffs of sleevealso thought of the use of flame markers they use in Warhammer games to give you a flaming effect
there painted polyester pillow filler but looks cool, got a rough name badge and shoulder bird they need finishing ill post pics soon
