« on: Jun 29, 2015, 07:23 PM »
Hi there, hoping my english is good enough for ya' to understand.
As I said in the title, I'm a french member ! (Here)
I've just finished my bucket so, here it is !

It's a scratchbuild helmet, made from cardboard, resin, fiberglass and car mastic (Not sure you guys call it car mastic but whatever.)

(Just for the record, my character is a Togruta and she's from Hoth)
Enjoy !

Feedback is welcomed !

Beginning :





Sorry, no photo of the resin part... I just forgot to take some. :-[

Paint :






Finished !
 
 


Details :
 
In red : In memory of Tracyn Verd, brother in arm dead on the battlefield.
 
 

My fellows french mando told me to hide the screw so I did.


Here is the buy'ce on my togrutan head ! (It was not finished at this time.)


(Sorry for long post here is a potat...Oops, not on 9 gag !)
↓ Here is my work in progress ! ↓

That is a very nice bucket, glad to see you made it fit around the Togrutan head.
Also, your English is far better than my French will ever be  :laugh:

Always wondered what a Togrutan Mando would look like. Your solution is fantastic! :D

Wow...just wow!

I was hoping to be the first to pull this off, but cheers to you!
That is a novel approach, doing the helmet as a cutout.

How did you build the headdress and Lekku? I'm still looking for inspiration on some of the details.

Awesome work on the helmet.

What's the stability like with so much material missing?

If you mean ''the solidity'', it is quite good ! I dropped it once (Not on purpose !) and nothing happened. I hadn't put the rangefinder yet, so maybe it is the only element fragile, but for the helmet, it's totally ok !

If you mean ''the movements on my head when I wear it", it's not moving at all thanks to the lekkus and montrals.

(Hope I'm understandable.)

Yeah meant the solidity. For some reason I always have an issue finding the right word for that heh. I know a lot of people have problems with their helmets warping with just the visor not installed yet, seeing so much more gone from the helmet without that occurring is awesome.

How did you build the headdress and Lekku? I'm still looking for inspiration on some of the details.

First of all : Thanks a lot.
Now for the lekkus/montrals :

It's simply a piece of (white) fabric that I've sewed and then painted.
I would have liked to make it in latex but, Eh!, fabric is easier, faster and... cheaper !

Here some photo :




(I'm thinkig of posting my complete kit wip in english, what do you guys think ?)

Yes please to the English WIP.

I am only across the channel :)

I would be interested in following any WIP you do as I like the twist on the race you have chosen to costume as
