hey guys ive been working on a cheap 2 peace halo helmet the past few days..it was a 2peace thin plastic jobby which i glued together,filled with foam and then cut all the details off. I then went at it with a lot of bog and sanding. 5 days filling and sanding later I was ready to apply my resin.
and here she is with a fresh coat of resin on (the mustard color is just primer to stop the resin melting the foam)
so this is a major work in progress...for starters it has a boba fett style face plate that goes over the front part....all will be revealed in time :twisted:

Re: SWTOR bountyhunter armor build
Nice start. Looks like we might get some good weather from tomorrow, through into the weekend, for some outdoor prop work.

Re: SWTOR bountyhunter armor build
ok few more days work to show.
as you can see shes looking a little rough in the photos because it has 2 new coats of resin over the details which I havent yet sanded.
the range finder folds up and down but I still need to do some shaping on the lens peace.

Re: SWTOR bountyhunter armor build
looks awesome dude, good luck with the sanding. If you wet-sand it you'll make progress faster and avoid alot of polyester dust

Re: SWTOR bountyhunter armor build
So Ive built a cardboard armor set..Im going to resin the lot and then bog and paint. wont be super neat and tidy but it already looks really good.
Il take some photos over the next few days but so far it looks like a cardboard motorcross armor set. I copied the design of the actual motorcross armor i used last time so already it sits on me perfectly.
Il be adding in the major details with the cardboard then il resin and bog before adding the finicky things to it.
Trying to get this ready for armageddon so ive got lots of work to do....Blaster to build,helmet to finish and undersuit to design
I learnt quite a bit making and especially wearing that last costume so this one should turn out a lot better.
