Re: Tutorial: How to build a stormtrooper helmet for less than 10 GBP Update!!

Good show, man! Do continue your splendid scratch build. I'm sorry things didn't work out with your printer. I used to do scratch builds like this back in the day, though I never used paper mache for hardening. Will you be using fiberglass later?

This is so impressive considering what you're using!

wow :)
 
Re: Tutorial: How to build a stormtrooper helmet for less than 10 GBP Update!!

That looks like a fun build -- love the progress pics.

To Havok69 and SOTI: I really appreciate your support guys and thank you for fighting my corner. It's much appreciated.

To The inquisitor: Mate, I always try to live by these two rules:

1) If someone is doing something that you cannot do, or are unwilling to do yourself, then you have two choices. You can either compliment and support them in their endeavours, or you can GOYA and do something as well.

2) If someone is NOT doing something as well as you can do it yourself, you offer help and guidance to them. Tis is called 'Constructive Criticism'.

I, and the VAST majority of people on here follow these philosophies and it is evident in the INCREDIBLE array of talent and ingenuity that litters this forum like an open cast diamond field. I guess the old adage stands, that if you can, then DO. And if you can't or DON'T then be quiet and let the rest of us get on with it....

And now if we could get back to making models, costumes and props and having fun, I would very much appreciate it!

Ok ok! The inquisitor, You win... I am abandoning this thread AND this build. Thanks to everyone for you support over the last four days and I am sorry that I can no longer bring you this "FUN" build due to one selfish individual who has no problem whatsoever hijacking other people's work for his own negative selfish ends.

Wow, you are like the MacGuyver of the prop world. That is really nice looking. Next you have to do a blaster using only duct tape and ball point pens

this has inspired me to make a budget magneto helmet (a custom one), will go all paper mache and polyfiller on this bad boy. Your trooper bucket is looking awesome though, forget all the haters, more people wanna see how this ends than not. great work man.
 
Re: Tutorial: How to build a stormtrooper helmet for less than 10 GBP Update!!

As a TK enthusiast I gotta say this is a such a great build and thread and glad I stumbled upon it. Keep it up and please just ignore the troll.
 
Re: Tutorial: How to build a stormtrooper helmet for less than 10 GBP Update!!

Seriously awesome and great work!!!!!!! Pretty sure that you are going to inspire quite a few of us that have limited budgets with this build!
 
Re: Tutorial: How to build a stormtrooper helmet for less than 10 GBP Update!!

I cleaned this little mess up a bit, and now let´s see this great build continued.

Hit the report buttons when something´s not in order, retaliatory posts are as much unwanted as are trolling posts.

That'd be GREAT! Not that it comes as any great shakes but this is the first time I have ever built anything since I was a kid making model aircraft kits. I am normally airbrushing Guitars for people or butchering wood somewhere for money:$ I did recently make an exact replica of Adam Ant's Hussar Jacket, but black braid on black Jacket rather than gold braid. Looks cool, I think.

I don't have the money either, but this is an easy way to build something that, if I'd had the correct dimensions could have been every bit as accurate as other build methods.

I wil post day five's progress later after I've showered and poured a glass of wine:love
AGAIN.....Thank you all for the ongoing support. I makes ALL the difference and you are one HELL of a great bunch of people:love
