Koji Kabuto Helmet From Mazinger Z

[timelordd]

I always loved this anime so I decided to try and do the pilot's helmet. There are two versions of the helmet so I decided to go with the original 70's version, maybe later I might do the newer version. well I hope if there are any Mazinger fans out there they will enjoy this.

Cool helmet, I might do one too. I'm also working on his photon gun.

Started adding body filler to get the basic shape of the curves...used the sides of tea gallons for some of the shapes.

 

[timelordd]

How do you guys get the pictures to come out full size instead of thumbnails?

 

[Jet Beetle]

WOW! What a great idea. I have a 5ft Mazinger that would go nicely with one of these.

 

[timelordd]

Thanks Jet Beetle! How much did that 5ft mazinger set you back? I have been hooked on this anime for eons, I love the characters!

Started to add body filler to get the contours needed...this is going to be one heavy sucker when its done.

Love Mazinger Z...can't wait to see this!

 

[timelordd]

here is another crappy picture (I need to find my camera!), some more bondo work to get the sides close to each other.

And let the sanding begin!

 

[timelordd]

Here are more progress pics..

Started to define the lines of the back of the helmet

 

[timelordd]

Here are a couple of more pics of the process...

On the next pics the side was too big so I had to cut it down...
