RKD GM helmet sculpt

[redkraytdragon]

NOTE - This portion of my armor scratch sculpt is double posted on my armor sculpt thread over in the armor section. Just posting in here as well for peeps that might just want to focus only on this aspect of it

Construction on the helmet begins!





Making some headway on the dome and skirt with the foam.
Had to make some circular templates for the skirt base as well as some 'step up' templates for each section as I go closer to the top



Next I cut these up on the band saw to get a closer profile to work with....a bit tedious and time consuming, but it'll save me a ton of time down the road


And working my way up to the dome

Rinse and repeat for the other side...only mirrored of course

A quick top view to check my progress...this was actually the SECOND time I had to do this grrrr due to the fact that I didn't account for the proper angles going up and had used the same circular template as I did for the base of the skirt for the rest of the pieces....had to start over from the ground up but got it right as I figured out what I did wrong. Lesson learned


Then I moved on to the front brow on the right side


Rinse and repeat mirror-like


That's it for now, stay tuned folks...LOTS more left to do on this

With your work, you let me thinking that I must do a clean draw of the helmet to share.

Thanks again everyone, appreciate all the comments!
Here's some more progress pics for you all, enjoy!



At this point, I had spoken to Barry (banzai88) and he pointed out that the cheeks needed to be corrected. I knew SOMETHING was up with it but couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Onto the Rondo!



Then sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, sand, sand....and more sand, sand, sand, sand, sand O.o


That's it for now kiddies, stay tuned...
