After over 2 decades of not being in the maker space I got an itch to jump back in head first. I decided to be overly ambitious and work on building an accurate cowl from The Batman(2022).
I did a life cast of my head and started sculpting the upper shape out of plasticine. I'm currently working on a brush on silicone mold of the sculpt to roto cast in polyurethane resin. I then plan on making patterns and stitching leather together to then stretch and glue around the rigid skull cap/shape.
This is all pretty new to me so it's a lot of trial and error. I know what I have right now isn't totally accurate, but I'd like to finish this one and then potentially revisit down the road making something even more accurate.
Open to suggestions, critique, and tips and tricks. I'll keep updating this as the build progresses. Thanks for looking!
