Hey guys,
I've never actually built any props before, but I have a lot of time this summer and since I have a friend who's building a stormtrooper kit it got me interested. Although I definitely don't have the patience or skill to do a full kit, I thought a helmet would be a fun first project. Since I know diddly dip about prop making I figured posting here and getting help from others would be a great way to learn.
Basically my attempt is to turn this (a Rubie's Stormtrooper Helmet)
To that (Battlefront Magma Trooper)
Granted the actual Rubie's helmet doesn't actually look that bad :lol, but it could be so much better. So my plan is twofold: 1) paint the helmet 2) build the respirator
I'll just be sharing and posting my progress here - any comments, tips, suggestions, criticism, everything is welcome - thanks for taking a look :thumbsup
