Sith Acolyte Full Helmet Build

[spid]

Its been awhile since anyone posted anything on Acolyte.
So I thought it would be nice to share what I have done.

How it all started.
As there isn't any maker in Asia, and I heard some feedback about what is currently available is too tight for some..
I decided to embark on this journey to fix a few issues.

1 - more room inside
2 - produce back piece of mask
3 - quality Asian prop

I have a different scale and size comparing with other makers.

 

[spid]

Front was printed in 2 pieces before joining.

 

[spid]

back piece was modeled and printed as 2 pieces.




Test - fit before post processing


additional details were then hand sculpted while post-processing the print


- - - Updated - - -

Nuts are being installed after the back and front pieces are well post-processed.

After several rounds of post processing and priming, the master is finally ready for mold making and casting.

First test on cold cast pull.

After some buffing with 00000 steel wool and test fitting.


- - - Updated - - -

First mold gave way after a few pulls and made a new mold with normal resin and cold cast

Beautiful work.
One of my favorite helmet designs and you've really done it justice.
I can really appreciate the work you've done.
Will these become available?
