Re: TMNT Shredder Helmet, Duck Tape and Cardboard.

What was it that you used to get that texture for the helmet. This is looking great by the way.
"Think I'm gonna re do the blades.. I'll be glassing today so I hope someone can jump in with a tip or two for me. I plan on spray gluing fiberglass matting to the duct/duck tape and just trying to make what I have solid."
Just discovered this site today, all I can say is........amazing!!
I'm gonna try and pull this off for Halloween. Do you have the template you used for your helmet and blade design? I think it looks perfect the way it is!!
Also, your profile picture kicks ass!
Okay, I just ran out to the store to get some supplies. Got a few more questions for ya. Oh, and btw, I'm using a hockey helmet and building on to it with cardboard and gonna use fiberglass matting/body filler. Seems easier as I've never paper machied before.
(1) Any tips for using the body filler after you put the fiberglass matting down? The blade that goes around the helmet looks amazing and I kinda wanted to duplicate that look.
(2) What sort of paint did you use on the blade? If you have the specific brand name thats even better. That shade of silver is exactly how I want mine to look.
(3) For the armour that goes on his shins/forearms, how did you make the spikes that go on that? I've got a few idea's but wanted to hear how you did it.
I'll post pictures once I get some progress made. Hopefully by end of today
Thanks
Awesome, thanks man. Just to clarify, on the helmet portion after you spray glued the fiberglass matting on, you proceeded to spray glue the non skid shelf paper to give it that texture I see in your pics.
And I appreciate the help, if mine turns out close to as good as yours I'll be stoked!
