Patlabor 2: The Movie Helmet

[Gong01]

commence situation

This one's a tough cookie, mainly with the various slightly off angle movie references and with nothing existing so far in terms of costumes but an exciting very big challenge none the less.

learning the modelling along the way it's very rough but kinda getting there slowly? end goal I'll be making it out of foam and figuring out a way to motorize the visor as well as obviously light the visor up when it's in a down position.

a view of the very rough bits so far

 

[Gong01]

a few bits from the movie as a kinda example, obviously no straight on views on whatever side so some angles in the end will probably be up to a slight interpretation in any case
