Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --SILICONE DONE.

first cast out. it has very small seam lines, but they can be sanded out very easily.

well it came out pretty damn good if you ask me. i can't wait to paint this up.
i'll end up doing a small run. i need to get some more resin though.

That turned out really great! I'm glad I could help with the reference. I'll be looking out for that Junkyard thread.

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --SILICONE DONE.

would you be able to look through the eyes at all? not sure how it was done in the film. i'd stray from the film and maybe put some lens in there to make it usbale no?

i really think you did an amazing job on this. like you get +100 points from me lol.

thank you for all the kudos!

thank you very much for the ref pics. it was a huge help. i'm excited you want to add mine to your collection!

so i can see slightly through the eyes. the holes are right in front of my eyes. but they are small and vision is VERY limited. you could easily cut the rest of the eye out and put lenses in.


unfortunately for you big guys, this might not fit. i sculpt for me, so things tend to be on the small side.
it is only 7 inches at it's widest. and 9 1/2 lengthwise.

AWESOME work on all aspects of this helmet!

 

[Robert412]

There is no way that will fit on my melon. I'll have to open it up...

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --1ST CAST OUT.

Those look really awesome! I would definetly be interested in one of these (depending on the price a little).

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --1ST CAST OUT.

Wow, thats a tight fit- but it might still fit!

Any idea on how much you may be willing to sell an unpainted cast for?

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --1ST CAST OUT.

I think i just might fit in that, if i squeeze my ears lol.

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --1ST CAST OUT.

so im trying to find the rules about talking about sales. i cant find a thread.
are we allowed to talk about prices here?
or do i need to keep it to pms and the sale thread?

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --1ST CAST OUT.

i think creating a separate JY thread would be best.

A couple more pics can be seen here if you scroll through the images: TANK GIRL<br>Ripper Helmet - $0.00 : Propmasters.net

Am I the only one who thinks that price should read "Two dollars and fifteen cents!"?

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --PAINTED UP!

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --PAINTED UP!

holy nikes, that paint job looks wicked!! very much like your weathering paint style. very very cool. it's just an endless amount of options you can do with these babies.

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --PAINTED UP!

thanks! since it is tribal art that is possibly finger painted, it made it really nice to not have to worry about super straight lines.

Re: Ripper Helmet from Tank Girl --PAINTED UP!

So i had my friend who's 6 foot put this on. the side measurements fit him ok without any ear scraping.
his head diameter is 23 1/2 inches.
but the front to back is too tight for him, plus the head heightwas a bit shallow. he could not see out the eye wholes at all. i had some foam in it for comfort, but it was only about a 1/4 inch thick.
sorry big guys. but, it might make a cool display piece.

so once again, the measurements are
7 inches wide.
9 1/2 inches long.

Very nice. Looks great painted up! :thumbsup

Man, im so glad i got this helmet, took a littel exacto knife tonight and cleaned it up further (defined the edges, eyes, etc)

Here's my test paint job in PS. black matte with white glow in the dark paint on the front. I'd like to ideally add a cooling fan in there since there's plenty of room near the mouth area and "maybe" cut out the eyes and add some mesh or black lenses. seriously, thank you for making this.
