I've wanted to do a RmcQ-concept for quite some time and though the Vader concepts are awesome they've also been done multiple times. So, after looking through the McQuarrie concept book I found the Snowtrooper commander samurai inspired helmet and decided to give it a go.
I've not put in too many hours into it yet but it will have to make to as a beginning of the thread.
The main issue so far has been where to put the split for the face-part of the helmet so to make it possible to put on but still not be visible. I decided on a split-line that I think might work and now I need to incorporate some kind of latch/clipon-system. But that's a later question though. I also decided on not going for flat lenses but instead give them some shape and make them as vacuum formed pieces.
It's almost time to start splitting up the helmet for testprinting, need to add some more details and do some tweaking here and there first.
