Looks great so far!

Decided on a color scheme? Which craftworld?

Haven't thought of my color scheme yet. I love Ulthwe, but I fear I may need a brighter scheme so that the outfit will pop in photos.

@ CLOTHAR The helm is a combination of two pep files plus a little creativity for the piping along the sides

The base helmet pep is from this gallery: http://printablearmory.com/mmpr.html.

I love that link. . .

Looks like you have the basic shape down.

Sorry that I've been gone for awhile. Work took me away from my project. Here's what I've done in the mean time:

I realized half-way through bondo that it was going to be difficult to build up the design I want. So I thought of a way to build down to the shape by using expandable foam.

First, I finished my first-layer of bondo, creating a surface area that the foam could stick to. Then I applied the foam throughout the helmet that I wanted bulk (kinda looks like a gift from nurgle at this point).

After it hardened, I started to sanddown to the shape that I want.

Once I finish sanding the foam, I'll apply another layer of bondo to smooth the surface.

Interesting work. It seems like a good start.

Yes this is very interesting. I have been thinking that this might be a good technicque since I say what Thorsolli did on his shoulders to smooth them out.

What kind of foam did you use? latex or poly?

glig · « **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2012, 05:37:00 PM »

I used "GREAT STUFF Gaps & Cracks". It's a spray foam in a can.

The only problem is that the nozzle can clog quickly. You only really have one go per can.

It's a cool helmet, but I can't wait until you get most of the foam sanded away.
Right now it looks like
