My Vader Mask NL

[Nitheris]

Hello my name is Nitheris and I am making this prop sinc quite some time and I wanted to share my work with you. Of course it is nowhere to perfect replica of reveal mask from ROTJ but I thougth that somebody might tell me what to do to make it better because I saw so many talented people here. If you have any idea what to corect please tell me











Ofcourse it is not perfect and I am only a beginner so please go easy on me

That’s looking really good! Keep up the good work! I’m currently building one from scratch too, but I have yet to tackle the dome. Yours looks awesome!

I assume this is a pep file helmet? If so that's amazing work so far
I can't imagine it's easy.

Are you going to turn this into a reveal as you said or will the mask stay with the neck ?

 

[Nitheris]

Thanks guys i am glad that you like it to the part about pep file unfortunatelu it was not that easy when you think about that mask we can see 3 parts: 1. neck, 2. mask, 3. helmet and only that helmet part was based on that paper model but even thou i changed many things and there is still so many things to change with it. And to the mask and neck I actualy based only on pictures of the orginal prop from the movie and prop made by Kroenen77




Here is one picture from long ago unfortunately to that paper file it is actually strange model because it is to symmetrical

And to the reveal part yes one day I would want to make one this my project is still made by gypsum and I want to make the final project made by fibreglass so I will cut the neck off in final project

That is pretty damn good for a fan sculpt. Nothing to me jumps out. It all small minute detail at this point. Keep up the good work.

6 years of work so close to finishing and yet so far

That’s come a long way, looking good !

It looked like your master was made of plaster. Is this the same one or did you mold and cast?

 

[Nitheris]

Yes, the first one was made of gypsum, I made a silicone mold and than a cast with the fibreglass so it would be like original one more or less.

Very good looking sculpt, very sharp! You should be proud of how far you've come.
