RacerMachX’s JUDGE DREDD HELMET CONTEST ENTRY

[RacerMachX]

Hi,
Here is my entry for the contest.

Judge Fear.
One of the four dark judges.

View attachment 155272

I am using my classic comic style magneto helmet as a base.
I dropped it on the concrete floor, so it was the perfect candidate.

I wanted a up sweep flair in the back of the helmet,
so i cut slits along the base and use a heat gun to soften and bend the flanges upward.

Thats all i have for now.
Thanks

I have left thin slots under the brow for vision.
The glowing eyes are El panel circle connected to a battery.
Not happy with the build, but i ran out of time.

[RacerMachX]

my belated wip.

I used styrene to layout the face plate door.
It is built up with 3-4 layers of styrene.

Some heat to curve the doors and a quick test fit for looks.
The vision is thru gaps between the brow and the top of the doors.
It is set back and hard to see, hopefully the illusion is that there is no eyes.

The raised crest area of the magneto helmet was grind away.

View attachment 155327

I then used 2 part epoxy clay to sculpt the raised brows and furrow lines between them.

View attachment 155328 View attachment 155329

I glued foam to the top to have a base to sculpt the bird skull? crest with
the same clay.

View attachment 155330

The clay dried hard over nite.
The next day, all the sculpts are nice and hard.

View attachment 155331 View attachment 155332

Some more grinding and sanding to shape.
