Re: Star-Lord Annihilation Helmet: W.I.P

Another small update. Finished the helmet part of the duo. I really love automotive clear coats. Really bring out the colors and the shine. Now to finish the icing of the cake.

Woww... looking forward to many more updates. How big of a head will this fit?

Thanks Igniitus. This will fit a 24" head pretty tight. Here's a teaser shot of the helmet without the eyes in. Almost there.

I too would like a cast as well please, if you decide to make that happens.

You got it. I'll make sure and post a link to the for sale thread when I get it posted. New eye lighting pieces are coming in tonight, hopefully I can get some finished pic's up before the weekend.

It is finished guys. I am really happy with how this came out. I still can't believe its finished yet. Sorry for the crappy selfie pictures. I had to run in and take pictures as soon as that last wire was soldered.

The illumination is so good it looks like you photoshopped it in! Looks great, probably one of if not THE best example of the Annihilation looks out there.

That looks fantastic :thumbsup

Thanks man. That really means a lot. I'm really pleased how the illumination came out. The only thing I may change in the future is the eye part. But we'll see.

I think the only thing I'd like to see (and doesnt mean it needs it, it's already awesome) is possibly some weathering. The silver looks really clean and such but would just add that edge I think if it was weathered. Awesome though

I totally agree man. Usually everything I do is weathered a lot, but the client wanted his to look like it hadn't seen any battle. The next one I paint will have some weathering fun on it.

Did you end up using EL Sheets or a mix of EL Wire for the whole thing?

I used el wire for the grooves of the mask, and then el panel for the eyes. I think I may try doing a neopixel for the eyes next, just to see how those look, and maybe have some animation fun as well.

I just posted a for sale thread up in the classifieds section, for those interested in a cast.
