The base is unsanded so far and has just been sculpted out of airdry clay. I will be sanding it once it's dry/adding more clay as it cracks (because it'll crack as it dries) some cracks I'll keep for weathering depending on where they are, but to ensure the integrity of the helmet itself I will be filling most of them. (also this will cast a little larger than the clay model. and I have a really small head so don't worry too much about the size)

What era are you going for Vod?

What era are you going for Vod?

Uh oh does it look too old republic?? I'm trying to go modern but I have so much old republic stuck in my head it's a hard default.

It's looking very crusader era with Modern elements. I'd change it he visor across the horizontal and narrow it so that it's more modern than the current design. I'll ping the rest of the app team to get you more feedback.

Does this look better visor wise??

[Bowfanny]

It does look better.

To Bowfanny, listen you should.  He's built a lot of helmets from scratch and knows his stuff.

It looks a bit more "modern" but right now I would class this bucket in the Crusader era maybe even the Early Crusader era given it's more organic look overall.

The clear T is a major hallmark of the modern era when you get into the more Y shaped visors you are drifting hard into Crusader couple that with the slope of the brow ridge and it really lands firmly in the Crusader era.

The modern era buckets are very smooth and have very clean lines, and really even when you get into some of the more "out" there buckets they stay pretty true to form. If you are aiming for a modern era bucket then you will need to bring the T down, create a straight "line" brow ridge.

Now with all that being said what you have currently made is a very cool Crusader era bucket so you could always lead into that and just embrace that fact the Crusader era is a pretty cool place to me by all accounts. But for this to be a modern era bucket you have some ways to go. I would suggest looking at some of the other more "wild" modern era buckets to get some ideas as to where the line is.

There are some good examples that may prove helpful in this thread- http://mandalorianmercs.org/forum/index.php?topic=109722.0. Just make sure you double check the era

Thank you so much for your help! I think I will salvage the clay I used and try the paper route. You have provided me with some very good jumping off points. I love the Crusader era the most (which is probably why I accidentally defaulted to it.) However it isn't what I'm going for. I appreciate your input a lot and I thank you again for the resources you've provided.
