Hi! long time lurker, first time poster. I recently started on a gift for my friend. I am building him an Iron Helmet from Skyrim. I used the free file from propzone.be. This was my first project, so its probably going to be pretty messed up.
The first thing i did was printout all of the 30 sheets needed for the helmet. I began to cut, fold ,and glue, and after a couple minutes, i had this.
I kept cutting, gluing, and folding, and after another few minutes, i had this.
I then started on the eyepiece. Because i used hot glue, the helmet warped above the eye(I added too much hot glue. If you are wanting to start this same build, feel free to use any glue you are comfortable with. I have more experience with hot glue, so I went with that.)
I then did the other horn holder thingy.
After this, I forgot to take pictures for a while. All I did during that time was basically repeat all I had done on the right side, but reversed. Then I added the nose bridge. Now the helmet looked like this.
The warping above the eye is clearly visible in the image above. I kept working. Now I had the raised detail going across the middle of the helmet.
Then I did the back plate of the helmet.
And this is where I am now. The Helmet is ready for fiberglassing. I still need to make to horns. I plan to mold this in Rebound 25 and make multiple resin copies. Any comments/constructive criticism is appreciated. Thanks for looking!
