Reworking the helmet because of some resin bumps? that came up. Also not happy with some lines on the helmet.
The latest test of the star crest on the helmet.

That looks fantastic! Great rendition of an (at least to me) quite obscure character from Marvel! So are you planning to do the full costume? And what about a Skrull to accompany him (if I am not mixing storylines up here, that is, a bit rusty on the Marvel-side :$)

 

[Dave Porter]

Awesome work!

That's looking GREAT. Nova is the only Marvel title that I collect monthly. That character/storyline has always brought the win for me. (the latest envisioning of his costume is awesome)

P.S. :thumbsup :thumbsup

Wow - In my little world nobody else has even heard of Nova...awesome job!!

Thanks for all the comments.
I hope to have this ready for molding around the end of June.
The complex shape of the star crest should be a interesting challenge to mold.

SMOKING!

Did you put it on to see if you could communicate with the World-Mind yet? :cool

 

[mbmcfarland]

Very nice! It would be cool to see one of these gold chromed.

Thanks for all the comments.

The helmet should fit around a 24.5" head size.
The narrowest exterior circumference is about 26".

Very nice! It would be cool to see one of these gold chromed.

Me too. I might have to try that.

 

[JasonCash]

any chances of doing a run of these?

 

[vindicator]

Holy moley, That kicks the pants off the one I just made.
do you think you would sell me one?

Here is mine, kind of a rush job, only had a month to work on it.

[Cosmic Ash]

are the helmets still in existence??????

 

[GBrittelleJr]

I'm curious as to what brand of gold paint you used. It's great!

 

[clancampbell]

That's excellent, and really takes me back to the original Nova comics!

That is so full of win! Nova is one of the best monthlies Marvel puts out that always seems to fly under the radar. Fantastic work on the helmet, I'm drooling!
