Boushh Helmet Sculpt...almost there

Todd, Todd, Todd...SWEETNESS!

Are you molding all those details in? A whole new mold coming?

Yes, that is the plan. What you see above is the new master with all the details already there. I'll be making another silicone master mold from it. That way when the helmets are pulled, there will be VERY little work to do in order finish the helmet, i.e. glue on the ear greeblies and the snout piece! No more spending hours and hours cutting out ABS pieces and trying to get them to fit together properly.

When this kit is finished it will be EXTREMELY simple to make a great looking helmet!

Yes, the frame can adjust from about 2" square to 18" square and pretty much any where in between. Makes it nice not to have to build a box every time!

I kinda caught this thread late... Are these going to be available for people to buy as kits? If so please let me know! Interested!
 
Alright! Opened up the mold this morning and it turned out GREAT!

Any idea when you might be making the kits available Todd?


I am trying to have everything completed within the next month or so. Right now I am trying to coordinate with a friend of mine so he can help me with the fiberglass mother mold. Once that is completed, I can pour the silicone and start rotoing some helmets!!!

any idea, what price range the helmet kit might come?
i know that´s not the right time to ask for the final price but maybe you have an idea...
anyway, i´m interested! :)
 
Alright, so here is the latest progress...
Here are the last four model pieces I needed to mold, they are the greeblies for the scope.

Now I just have to make some pieces, glue them to the scope, and get the scope into silicone!
I had to scratch build the leather strap greeblie and here it is...just have to get it into the mold.

awesome, thanks for the updates! Which model kit did those two rectangular/grid pieces come from for the scope? I have been looking for awhile with no luck.
