Helmet Scratch Build
« on: Sep 28, 2016, 10:17 AM »
Here's my first scratch build helmet
First Stage Poster and Cardboard


UPDATE:
So i needed to take the dome off. It wasnt fitting my head right. Unfortunately my head is larger than normal so it looks as if I may have to customize the dome part of it to fit my head the proper way. I have taken a break from working on the helmet and am now working on my pauldron similar to the one that ARC troopers wear in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. And I do have a question regarding it. Will a double sided pauldron eliminate the need for chest and back plates that reach up to my neck or do I still need to include those?

They are still required Vod. A troopers pauldron is an accessory.

Bad news. My head is too big to fit in a standard mando helmet so I was forced to custom make the dome on my helmet. It is a bit larger than the one in the picture above but looks less like a cone. Overall it's not much bigger but it is noticeable. Am i required to make the scale of the helmet larger or am I allowed to elongate the dome piece by about 1/2-1 inch to make room for my head? Any suggestions would be very helpful!

Lengthening the face of the helmet would probably be a better bet Vod. Having a taller dome always results in less than desired effects.
