My shop robots had some free time lately, so I got them working on something new carved out of some leftover MDF I had sitting around:
After a couple of miscalculations, I finally assembled a helmet with a size that I like:
Before the day was over, I soaked it with primer:
The next day I got started cleaning up some of the details:
After a bit of bondo work, it was looking pretty good:
Here's the wings after a bit more love with a file and some sanding blocks:
At the end of each day in the workshop lately, I've tinkered a bit with this helmet and added a coat of primer:
Here's how it looked last night:
Which means it looked like this this morning:
Here's the inside face of the wings with the cutouts that register to the sides of the helmet:
Once the paint is dry, I'll flip the wings over and give the outside faces a nice, glossy coat of paint. Then I'll be ready to start molding all three pieces and make them into something wearable.
Coming soon: armored boobs.
Stay tuned...
