My Set For Fun trooper project

[sskunky]

Hi,

 

I thought it was about time to finish or at least start my Mini SFS Trooper helmet.

I got this from the first run Carsten did a while back.

 

Anyhoo, I wasn't really happy that the helmet came filled with expanded foam as I wanted to make a mini replica with green flat lenses and a piece of star foam etc as per the original used helmets.

 

I managed to hollow out the foam then spent the afternoon today sanding the inside as it was quite thick resin and as I am cutting the eyes out I wanted it to be more like it was vac formed than cast.I also cut the teeth out which was a bit scary and I used a very small drill bit and a file.....

 

So without further ado here's where I'm at so far......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I still have a way to go yet and after priming I can see the bubbles that need to be filled better.....

Awesome! Please post lots of pics of this process as I'm waiting for my own copy and even though I didn't think this could be done initially you made me want to do the same.

That's looking great so far. With the background out of focus I could almost believe it was a full size lid. Nice work not the fiddly teeth by the way
