The Stranger - The Acolyte

[Mr Mold Maker]

Hey folks. I just painted the “Stranger” helmet from The Acolyte and couldn’t find an appropriate thread to post it in.

It was made from PewPewCraft files and painted by myself with Imperial Surface Alumaluster and Candy2O. It is an incredibly weird finish, one really must see it in person because my photos don’t capture it well. In the light it reads as a bronze/copper color, but in shadow it falls to black. It is an incredibly interesting paint job and I had fun doing my take on it. Hope you enjoy. If you want to see my other paint work on Star Wars stuff check out my Instagram at: Instagram.com/JackRupert133

I’ve added the photos as thumbnails below because they open very large.




As for the future of this thread, if anyone else wants to share their research or work on Smilo Ren here please feel free!

Had to come back and stare at this beauty..

Looks great!

When I first saw images of the helmet from the show, I thought it was mostly black with some lighter colors underneath. Photos of the helmet in better light show that it actually isn't any where near as dark as I thought. Yours captures the look very well.

Yeah I too didn’t realize how bronze it was until he was working on it in the cave

Love the color

 

[Mr Mold Maker]

Thank you for the kind words folks! So glad you dig it.

Definitely amazing work on Mr Smiley there.
Personally have yet to make up my mind about how metallic or silvery those teeth should really be.

While I think this was one of the most poorly designed helmets in the Star Wars universe, your take on it is most excellent. Love the layering and the contrasting colors.

Always love seeing your work, so thank you for sharing!

That's a stunning color. Was this SLA printed or FDM and smoothed?

Thanks. The main helmet was SLA printed on an industrial machine. The jaw and “teeth” were printed by myself on an Elegoo Saturn 2.

When you (or I, at least) consider it's actually meant to block out the normal 5 senses, then I think the design is better.
