Thanks for confirming what I experienced. It was maddening.
Lesson learned.
But also a positive.. if I want a cracked earth bio "look" all I have to do is use that filler.
Next time. Gonna use traditional Bondo. Just hate the stink of it.
Do you have pics of the cracking on your bio?

Thanks Chris, I look forward to you putting your spin on it. I'll keep you in the loop when I do a run.
Going to have my way with this around the block a few times before I sell any copies. 👍👍

Woke up early to make the clay wall for molding.
Will be used mold max STROKE from smooth on.
Clay is Chavant sculpted soft. Had it laying around. Comes in flat bars ready made for the mold wall. Works well. Sulphur free so won't inhibit the silicone etc...
Mother mold jacket will be made from plaster bandages. They are cheap, easily acquired and hold strong. Had good experience with them last go around, worked out well on my Shinto Bio mold.
Teeth and tusks will be molded separately. Will prep those next.

It's all done. Not sure how many hours it took, but I am glad it's done.
On to the next phase.
Prepping it for silicone molding.
Will mold the faceless P1 head at the same time. Trying to optimize the use of silicone.
Enjoy the pics.
All thanks to Rob Clark for the inspiration. Without his design and creativity this would t have been possible.

Patrick Predator might be another person to ask. He has a massive collection of screen used items.
He may know the story or location of the helmet you seek.

Looking great!
How does the battle with making them from actual steel? Last week spoke you were sourcing a cnc or?
-
Awesome! You've been working hard on your suit. Enjoy and have fun.
Denver is a bit of a hike for me from Boston. 😉 But the Lair is behind you.
Take lots of pics. Be sure to share them.

Love it! Keep creating. Sounds like you are trying to push your skill set to the next level. I respect that. Keep us updated. Looking forward to seeing a finish print. 👍👍

This looks great. The only critique I would give is the eyes. What I loved about the movie mask was the eyes were sunk and looked grumpy.
This angle from the movie was always my favorite.
Also, if you look at some of the pictures with Matt Rose working on the heads in the trailer. The dreds are swept back in a deliberate way at what seems like a short length.
What is the final goal? Print a bunch of heads for sale?
-
No problem.
Keep in mind the stunt bio has been recast so many times. Your helmet may be undersized.
As for the pic you posted. I believe that is the one. Not sure who owns it. Smarter people than me may know. @Kithunter any ideas where the original city hunter bio is?
-
The original bio is in a collection somewhere. In our Gallery section there are all kinds of Images. Take a peek.
I have what is commonly referred to as a stunt version in my collection. I can take some measurements if that is helpful.
What is your plan? To sculpt the helmet from clay?
-
Glad to have you. Thanks for coming back and being a part of this madness. 👍👍

Is this your first build?
What is the plan for the build?

Music to my ears. Can't wait to see what you've got. Glad to see you back at it Rob.

I managed to get the head filled properly with foam and then mounted to a bust.
This was an important step. Now I will be able to make the silicone mold. Once the mold is done resin armatures will be made.
Will also make clay pours for sculpting the face section.
I am waiting to mold it at the same time as the Juggernaut Bio. Want to do all the molding at once for both pieces.
My 9-5 gig has ramped up again and is pulling me away from these projects so I have no firm timeline. But it's at the top of the list.

Do you have a link to some details on it?
Looks like a USB powered mini pump in there?

Looking great. Amazon has laser diodes for cheap and in bulk. Take a look. Might be just as easy as LEDs.

I got the feeling from your paintwork that it was some kind of ancient pottery look. You did a great job painting that on there.
The added details are nice as well. Very creative and outside the box thinking. 👍
