yet another icon stormtrooper helmet

[zeca]

the nose is not quite present and the eye is too flat.




in this picture we can see the well pronounced nose which gives a good villain air, and the eye is much more rounded.




after some DIFFICULTIES Here is the result




now it has even more grumpy air

Loving this build! Thanks for the high quality pictures. Very inspiring. These small details really help to define the 'grumpy', aggressive character. Please keep posting lots of pictures!

Thanks for your comments,
yes that's "grumpy". I love that word. I think that word fits well in stormtrooper.

some test pictures with my motorola atrix, I use a tripod to stabilize. I think I'm at the limit of what we can do with this kind of device.

 

[zeca]

some pictures.
I took a lot of delay because of the hot that I used to mount the helmet glue. Now when I sanded I fall over I have to dig in and redo the details.
I asked a primary water-based (gesso) to see the details throughout.

some comparison photos







I currently working on teeth,
I need advice:
the openings between the teeth as she rounded on the photo?



or square like this one?



the small hole in the corner of the mouth should not be open?

Thanks for your answers, opinions welcome.

 

[omooney]

the rounded one! and you're correct. the last hole shouldn't be open.

here are some reference images pulled from http://www.starwarshelmets.com/

Nice progress! To me the teeth were one of the hardest part to make to the point that I redo them 3 times. but I see you nailed yours on your the 1st try.

grenater, you could print the file in regular paper and then glue them to a ticker card.

yes my teeth are taken time for reflection, I have watched many different models of helmets and depending on the material they were made ​​of fiberglass, abs, hdpe rendering is never the same. I do not make a super accurate helmet, but I try to get closer to hdpe version that I believe is more lively in the corners


a picture in the sun
I do not have enough gel coat thickened to finish the edges of the teeth, waiting to start work on a vocoder



thank's for watching !

 

[grenater]

Wow thanks never thought about that way I'll try it!

 

[zeca]

some new pictures on the progress of the vocoder.


firstly tracing various components in order to see their spacing between them.


I bought a small tool to copy the forms, which is very useful to copy the inner face of the vocoder, the outer face I freehand. All carried on thick cardboard.



Once cut, role play, it's not too bad.
next step, making various items.

 

[zeca]

So thanks to the cardboard template I determined that each element must have a thickness of 6 mm spaced 2 mm.
Luckily I still had a plank flooring 6 mm ..
So tracing decoupage and grinding of the elements closest to the template.

 

[zeca]

implementation of the elements of the vocoder


once well established and well spaced between them, I glue hot glue to be able to unmold the vocoder as a single unit.

 

[zeca]

good after all this work I am not satisfied. I find the vocoder too big forwards. So I decided to redo the cardboard template and start over. you can see the difference between the old template here:

and the new:


the difference is not large but it is important :




has left the new, the old right.

it only remains now has re new items.
