Re: Kylo Ren: 3D Helmet COMPLETED
Definitely following this so I can get an update when you start the first run... Don't think I can wait till the release of the film, I might want in on this run.... Have to think about it because not sure on accuracy yet, but hey, by July 7th, we should know how accurate the back of the helmet looks, and if it's as close as I'm hoping it is, I might want a V1

Re: Kylo Ren: 3D Helmet COMPLETED
Sni9er; No paint, just cold cast right? Very nice!
Did you pour in stages? Higher concentrate alu in the silver lines and then lower alu in the other pieces? Or is this all the result of one outer layer with non metallic inner layers?
I've been thinking how to get this effect when some parts need to be ultra silver and some must a bit metallic.

dday correct no paint just cast this layer was all in one with the following mix:
1 part resin
1 part Aluminum
(mixed with 5% Jet Black)
this gives a nice dark gun metal finish and then hit the ridges with steel wool to reveal the pure Alu to shine still experimenting to get the mix just right in terms of viscosity but pretty much there now by the time the faceplates are ready to mold I'll be set)
I'll send as a kit in parts to be finished as I wouldn't have the time to trim and prep them all but as you can see its not terribly hard to do haha I'll make one showpiece to show before the sales

Also I can hit the other parts with steel wool and a light touch to get a very mild metallic sheen
