Re: OGA helmet version 2!
Looks great mate. Hope your supploer sorts their crap out asap!!oota goota wrote:Hey all did my first pulls of the version 2 bucket. Overall I'm pretty happy with the results the changes are small and subtle but the overall look of the helmet I think is good.
The main changes can be more easily seen at the centre of the eyes and the height of the teeth. They are both about 4 -5mm taller. The tear drops post vac pull are slightly bigger, the lower jaw is more tapered on the right hand side which is a good correction IMO.
Sooooo yeah it still looks like my sculpt, still looks like a stormtrooper but has a few wee improvements. Anyway I hope everyone likes the newish look! I'll put together a helmet to see how a complete one looks
In the mean time my plastic supplier insists on sending me this semi-gloss ABS rather than the high gloss stuff I have been enjoying for the last few months. Sigh..... the plastic polishes up fine but it's not my preferred type so I will chase them up (again) in the hope I can get the good stuff.
After that I will start pulling some helmets especially for those of you who have been waiting so patiently Oota Goota Industries can only operate on Saturdays at the moment so production is going to sadly be a bit slow for a while.
New faceplate is on the left, old bucket I am doing up is on the right

Re: OGA helmet version 2!
Thanks Sly yeah man it's a PITA!! The stuff they have sent me will polish up to a high shine so it's useable and I've seen a lot of other helmets pulled with a satin finish BUT I'd rather not have to do deal with that. The high gloss ABS is out there, it's awesome to work with, it looks fantastic SO SUPPLY IT TO ME
Ok thanks man rant over I feel better now

Re: OGA helmet version 2!
That helmet is starting to look really great, I can see what you mean with the slight and subtle differences with the changes made.

Re: OGA helmet version 2!
Great work fella! The eyes/nose areas are looking good
I've found that the size & shape of the tubes can be changed a fair bit by the way the ear caps are trimmed & attached so there's always a bit of room to move there.

Looking good brother! I think that small adjustment to the eyes will increase the overall look dramatically!
Keep it up!

Re: OGA helmet version 2!
thanks bro yeah you are right there's definitely flexibility there. I think I'll put one together first before making any more changesPostie wrote:Great work fella! The eyes/nose areas are looking good
