US Navy Mk II Talker Helmet 3D to Imperial Navy Trooper

[TK41434]

Very nice job I organized a German Navy Talker Helmet which is similar to the US Navy Mk II Talker Helmet.
Starting soon my own project.

OK. Finally confiscated enough cereal boxes.

Yes, it's crude but at least I can refine the shape and length and while I know it sits properly by drawing on the cardboard. On the ROTJ helmet the back or the rear "cheesegrater" sits a little higher than the ANH one. I had some pics where that was evident, put they are somewhere on my server. Strangely, I can't find any pictures of the ROTJ filming helmets lately to show you...just fan made replicas.

Since this version of helmet was designed from the ground up in 3D and I didn't use photogrametry, the shell took a lot less sanding than the old one did. A layer of photo resin hides all the joints and layer lines.

The 3D representation with the skirt.
In the real world, everything is printed, but the "ears" need some post processing.

Another variation. The 'jawbone" helmet.

Cool. Always liked these styles of helmets. Especially the jaw-bone helmet, which is rare to see replicated exactly right.

You should make 1:6 scale versions of them.

It would be possible. Would it be for a 1/6 scale figure?

Still needs a bit of polishing in addition to internal padding.

Nah, I would just display the helmets on separate small display stands.

Isn’t there a 1/6 series of Star Wars helmets out there?

Not accurate from what I know.

 

[TazMan2000]

Designed the good guy's helmet too.

Tazman... so where did you get your skirt material? What is it... polystyrene? Acrylic? ABS?

I picked up several thicknesses of 4x8 sheets HIPS several years ago at a plastics wholesaler. I used 0.06" (1/16) thickness for both my ANH and ROTJ versions.
