Nice idea but how to find them when shop is just making stickers for this silicone etc.Smooth on isnt really pro... just overpriced brand name. I suggest you look for some manufacturer where you could purchase resin/silicone directly. At least that's what I've done on the past - they would offer me way better prices, especially for quality resins.
I have few but not all are selling tixo agent for silicone. I think other tixo will work with this silicone. One seller has silicone where for 1kg takes only 7£(if you buy more then 25kg )Have you looked for manufacturers from UK? Im sure you will find something if you Google enough. I'm also sure you'll find some in Germany and Poland... but the shipping might not be nice
I will have this 200kg around for 1500£ and will use it later to make molds for Halo 3 costume(all pieces )Holy... 200kg? That escalated quickly (from 50-100).
Definitely go with those guys, but make a test first.
Best if you can actually call first and ask them for details, they are usually bored and very happy to tell you which kind of resin/silicone etc will work best for your needs.
I cut the visor and back piece. It's still a bit tight to put your head in the helmet but slowly moves are helping to not scratch my ears :lol . I am making silicone mold for this back piece so I do not need to use big and heavy mold fors small piece like this. I will try lenses from my paintball mask and see how it looks like.
I have also 3d printed hands and will make silicone mold in next week. I am 3d printing everything in 0.2 layer bcs will take ages to print so many pieces. Atm I am 3d printing arm. View attachment 852278
Thank you. First helmet was to small to fit on my head and second version is only 10% bigger. When I will put 5mm eva foam in side will be ok. I am finishing ver. 1 and using in side the helmet visor from paintball mask. I will show few photos when will glue latex neck to the hard helmet.Your work so far is very impressive! The only concern I have is that it looks too big? Your head looks like it could really bounce around in there, and as far as I know the suit is supposed to be more on the form fitting side. Maybe its just the perspective of the pictures..either way, awesome you are tackling this project!
