Working Kylo Ren Helmet?

[Fatesalign]

Has anyone been able to make an actual Kylo Ren Helmet that functions like in the movie (opens the same way etc)?

I have been trying to figure out the same thing, no luck yet but I will let you know if I figure something out

Great! Thank you. If someone could get that to work, I'd pay whatever it takes to make this. I'll make sure to check this often.

 

[STARL0RD]

Yeah no problem, question though, did you want it to be mechanized? Just want to be sure of what I am doing

Yep. Definitely mechanized. I'm not looking to purchase anything though. I'm really just looking to see if anyone can figure it out and if so, I'll feel confident in doing it myself.

 

[STARL0RD]

Yeah I gotcha, makes sense. Not gonna lie, at the moment i'm stumped.

I think I'll start looking into it. Might do a video series on it if I can come up with some plans.

Have either of you found decent reference for the scene where he releases the helmet and it actuates? After only one viewing, I'm not quite sure which parts move, how much, etc.

 

[STARL0RD]

No that has been my biggest issue is a huge lack of reference...a short video clip would be perfect as for seeing how it moves but what can ya do right?

 

[LaserPep]

You can go see the movie a few more times. That's my plan (though seeing the helmet actuate is only a bonus).

 

[STARL0RD]

I've seen it three times already lol...huge geek anywho that is a homework assignment I will gladly complete!

 

[LaserPep]

Best. Homework. Ever.

I will be making the helmets open and function like in the movie soon.

Do you have reference or are you working from memory?

From memory, I need to rewatch the movie just for that scene lol

Your 3D model looks great. I'm going to watch that scene very carefully next time I see the movie, so I'll let you know if I notice anything to help out. I immediately knew that when I built that helmet, it would have to be actuated.

Thank you, I found this online

 

[LaserPep]

That's not how I remember it at all. This is why I need reference! That's not great reference, but it's some. Thanks!

better than having to spend 8$ every time we need a memory refresh

Good thing I made the front faceplate of my Black series removable! I would be interested how you guys manage to work this out. I thought of doing a scissor like mechanism to detach and lift the faceplate, but had no Idea how to make it move without physically actuating it from the front.
