Ok, so some people may remember this thread from a couple of years back.
Sadly due to many reasons (terrible job with terrible hours, splitting with the wife, moving back with parents, unemployment etc) this never got off the ground, besides there are a fair few 3d printed kits out there now so I ended up buying one of them.
However at the start of last year in an effort to cheer myself up after the breakup I bought this from fleabay. I have no knowledge regarding the source of this kit, but the seller claimed it was from a production helmet. Could be, but to be honest I had other things on my mind. Anyhow this thing sat unmade for over a year while i got my life back on track, I got a fantastic new job last June and last December moved into my own place.
So a few weeks ago I finally made a start and finished it this very day. The aim was for an actual Dredd helmet replica not just a generic judge, I used some brilliant pics of the stunt helmet from the propstore auction for inspiration.
Enjoy
The beginning
Trimmed, filled and primered
Scribing the damage
Silver laid down
Black laid down
Masked up and red applied
Scraping away the liquid mask, and general attacking with x-acto to chip up the paint
Padding cut, covered and in place
And finally, getting it dirty, with washes, matt clear mixed with charcoal, cloths, and generall over handling.
