Sylgian's Sith Stalker (501st approved!)

Re: Sylgian's Sith Stalker Helmet (WIP)

Another update!! PAINT!

Well... some of it. I have the breather painted and cleared. I even did some weathering on it.

The base color sprayed on the outer shell. It looks pretty good, it does have some bumps and scuffs that I found once I sprayed it a lighter color, But I have to say, I am pretty pleased. It still needs the white details painted on and the little blood spatters. I will probably be adding some weathering to it in the form of scratches and dirt here and there. I don't want it to look perfect. I feel it looks better/more authentic when its a touch worn.

Re: Sylgian's Sith Stalker Helmet (WIP)

Small update. I got the white details painted above the browline. I also started my weathering. I still have a bit more to do, and the little blood spatter before its finished and I can hit it with clear.

You can also check out my Sith Stalker files that came from the actual 3D model. Click the link in my signature. Beware that I was told the stock scale in the file is a little small so you might want to take some measurements and bump it up a little.

Re: Sylgian's Sith Stalker Helmet (WIP)

Finished my weathering and added the bit of blood on the outer shell. It will be getting a clear coat tomorrow afternoon to seal it all in.

I bought a nice tinted face shield from my local Grainger today. I plan to use it as the visor material. I will be working on mounting that, the breather and ...the mountain of work still left to do on the inner helmet in the days to come.

Very nice work bro, pep has always had me kinda confused but then again I've only ever tried it once and it turned out horrible haha...keep up the good work! That outer shell looks amazing.

Re: Sylgian's Sith Stalker Helmet (WIP)

I ended up buying a replacement welding face shield for my visor material. It was about $12 locally. Anyhow, I have been busy mounting that in such a way that it could be easily/cleanly removed... you know, just in case.

After a good while making a pattern with some clear plastic, this is what I ended up with. The screws thread into some bosses I glued to the mask with epoxy.You might also notice a brace I installed along the jawline for extra rigidity. I wasn't liking how wobbly it was.

I will be working on a way to mount the breather so it is also removable next. The tape is temporary

I turned it to let some light through the visor. From the inside the visibility is pretty good.

I made my file available again for anyone interested. I would also encourage people to check out darkside501st's files. I know hes been doing some work on the files for this costume.

Sylgian, Thanks. I wouldn't have made those files if it wasn't for your work here inspiring me to have a little fun of my own. Also, let's not forget that it was in your thread that Fierfek posted that he had the original model that I used for my pepakura files. So thanks again for starting this project. I have enjoyed following your work and it is coming along nicely.

Not too much progress today. Just pics :thumbsup

The profile is lacking the cheek covers. It really suffers for it. I need to get on that.
