NCR Ranger sculpted Gas Mask and Helmet

Greetings, I have been sculpting and keeping quiet for a long time now, I just wanted to say hello and show my sculpt and finished parts for your enjoyment.

here is the sculpt



finished pull



close to done

there it is, built the outfit in a day, still a bit rough, let me know what you guys think.

 

this i consider a prototype, pushed out for halloween, i would like to work in the eyes to light up as well so stay tuned, i am busy at work.

 

What did you make the mask out of?

 

That looks really cool!

 

Looks great. Do you have a fan in it to help circulate the air?

 

I love that mask..great job

 

that looks so sick

 

Nice work! I wish I had one!

 

Great work! If you ever make a Run .... I'm in!

 

Thanks, I'm glad you guys like it. It is made of polyester resin, backed with glass, a nice tight 2 layers, no fan yet, working out the bugs, fogging is an issue, breathing not so much, it is quite easy to breath in this mask. it wraps around your head like a real gas mask over the ears, the helmet is a seprate piece. I made 1 other for a friend who has a larger head, so I threw it in the oven for about 15 min @ 180 degrees Farenheight. and took it out and flared it out to fit his skull and then cooled it with water, BAM!!! fits like a glove. so it really diddnt effect the way it fit with the helmet with the adjustment to the mask.

 

the mask and helmet are tapped of polyester resin and fiberglass, very thin, very strong and light weight, the range finder and camera are cast of acrylic. Antenna, filters, chin greebles-2prt plastic. it is a nice kit to put together. not hard to assemble, easy to paint, lots of room to custom out to personal taste.

 

The paint job makes it look like actual rubber.

 

when I sculpted it I added alot of texture, I wanted it to feel like a gas mask, it would be nice to run them of rubber, I would just have to core out the mold, I thought about it, maybe for the future...

 

Look awesome..

 

That's so sick....some nice work there

 

This is a job well done. I'm on my second play through of New Vegas right now, and I'm really tempted to just raid Camp Golf for this stuff....

If you ever start a run on this, let me know!

 

I am gearing up for steel city con, I will have some kits to let go, I have to figure out a assembly manual for the kit, I think it is pretty simple to assemble but I think it would be cool to put together some thing neat and fun to read while putting the thing together. I will abide by the rules of this site, I am new here, but like i said, I am gearing up for a con, an idea for a run count would be nice.

 

I will be at the steel city con in december, if you want to see it up close.

 

This is a very cool build, the entire outfit-- love the chest and neck protection as well as the helmet/mask. Where did you get the coat?

 

Man, that looks great! Job very well done, sir!

 

Pretty awesome

 

Thank you, I got the coat like 11 years ago at a thrift store, my daughter has been wearing it at cons as a waste land trader, and i got to lookin at it again and was like... uh yea.....gonna reclaim this for the ranger sweetie... She was stoked! She is the one who got on me to sculpt this thing.

 

Definitely looks like your daughter knows what she's talking about and has great taste too. Keep up the great work (both of you)...

 

I think I could do a fan in the filter on the side of the mask, this first one was the prototype.

 

thank you kind sir, we will def keep it up! I am gearing up to prep for a con, gonna make a small army of these guys to trade or let go of....

 

if u guys have any questions reguarding the creation process or would like to see more just PM me.

 

That looks cool.

 

I am about to start preping for a run for steel city in december.... if there is any intrust from anyone, I will post run progress and assembly instructions to follow, I will be posting in the junk yard offering kits in december.....

 

That's one bad a$$ piece of work. Definitely want to see more.

 

I will post some build up pics raw paint no layers....... I would like to paint afew desert camo scheme and also some concept variants, cowboy hat, flak jckt, etc.......

 

here is a cool mod I found online,... I love this stuff because it is not beyond the relm of functionality and is fun to make.


nice combo of items....



a couple of more concepts that are cool....

 

OK so here is a raw pull of the ranger helmet and gas mask



and this is one is just based out solid, no layers...



and then I found this while doing research....



and then I got to thinking..... hmmmm.... I made this not too far back and could go great with this guy.....



so yea..... lots to do....

 

Wow I would love to see the entire process. Teach me, oh Master.

 

I would love to log the whole process and put it up for you guys, I am gearing up for a run and I have to have an assembly guide for future Rangers in my kits. so this is my first thread here, should it be a different thread all together or continue this one??? I welcome all input on this...

 

This looks fantastic! Really really impressive for such a short time-scale build especially.
I know you've said fogging is a problem (which I'm praying a fan will solve in mine, heh), but is having other people hear you a problem?

 

ya thats funny, when I was out they said i sounded like kenny from south park, I figure i will use a microphone amp set like the storm troopers do to fix that issue...

 

Here are some views of the raw kit, I will assemble one step bye step.....


parts include, raw helmet, raw mask, mouth filter, side filter,oxygen intake vaulve, chin greebles (2) antenna, range finder (clear acrylic) helmet camera (clear acrylic) lock nuts, washers...

Right side view....



Top view......

I will post more as the adventure continues.......Stay Tuned!!!

 

wow dude awesome work! clean pull too :thumbsup

 

where are my pics???

 

Gremlins!

 

i will be posting pics of the growing army of kits veery soon,

 

Ohhhh man. This is more badass than I can handle. I think my heart might have even stopped a couple times while viewing this thread.

 

This whole process just goes whoosh over my head.

 

I will have kits for the gas mask and helmet in the junk yard soon, but I have 5 kits now ready to ship at 250.00 a piece. Raw pull kit no lenses or LED's. PM me if you have intrust. Happy New Year to all!!!!!.

 

Hey Red Lion!

Ive been putting together one of your kits and just thought I'd throw some pics up. Ive been trying to get the lenses to glow... anyone have any tips or ideas on that?



Heres a pic after some of the wiring and LEDs were in. I also put a fan in the side.

Heres a pic with the lenses in. Not glowing like i wanted... still messing with that... more pics to come!

Great kit though! I love it!

 

awesome! looking good so far! any updates of your progress?

 

Oh my god, thanks you for doing a play-by-play build....I would love to make something like this! And the finished product looks AMAZING!!

Between the helm, the breastplate, and that SWEET jacket, this might be the best Fallout cosplay I've seen. I hope I run into you and your daughter sometime, you guys have GREAT taste!!

 

Are these masks available for purchase?
