New life for my first helmet.
« on: Jul 04, 2017, 06:47 PM »
Once upon a time I made my first helmet, which has gained some popularity in the RFC.
It had flaws and it is now no longer in production.

I decided to redo it, update it, make it interesting, convenient, visually compact and primarily suitable for women.

The theme will be updated in the next few weeks.


This helmet had lain for several years in the garage because of the marriage.

The comparison with my main helmet.


Should no longer be problems when your the nose dont put in helmet.






I plan on it as a removable part.



The helmet is almost complete.
Have a little bit of grinding and i can do mold.
Next plans are detachable ear caps and rangefinder.

Update!
After fitting of a prototype of a helmet at a clan meeting, it has been decided to improve a dome.
Selected the final design and carried out the work, which took 4 days.

Oh wow :o

That is so clean it actually looks digitally generated. Good job.
Look forward to seeing how these casts come out from that quality of a master.

For the RFC!


The premiere of the new helmet.
Some members and recruits have begun to receive a new helmet. Soon I hope to see it completed and painted.

Also working on a new rangefinder.

This helmet looks amazing!  :o The amount of work you put into it really shows. I love the detail of the little indent on the cheek, and the rangefinders are awesome, too. I'm looking forward to seeing one fully-assembled and painted up! :)

Why am I not surprised that this amount of quality came from Red Fist Clan. I have praised the work of your clan for a long time and this lives up to their reputation and more! I'm genuinely speechless though, this is surgeon-like precision craftsmanship. I'm blown away.

Got a batch of 10 green visors. Now I can Install them in the helmet with screws.






If anyone is interested, I made small run on these helmets.

Unfortunately or fortunately, I am so in demand at work that there is very little time for the helmet )
But I made two improvements - the right ear without a rangefinder and a set of horns to install.

Hello everyone!
After a long time I decided to update the model, making some changes based on my experience.

I used a plastic helmet made in a Old mold.

I slightly changed the shape of the face and T-visor, making them more attractive.




I added special sockets for installing custom equipment that the Mandalorians can come up with for themselves.
And what I've been dreaming of for a long time-a skull overlay part.

Here is an example of one of them, but I will redo it yet, I see that the shape and size need to be further refined.



Something on the back of the head, like the ports for connecting the starship interface.


Ready-made master model.




Plastic copies.
One of them became a gift for a clan recruit, after a small creative drawing contest.

The helmet can be like this:

Or like this:



A few high-quality photos. This helmet is exclusive to the Red Fist Clan. Simple and cheap to manufacture and process.
It has a unique size, matched to the size of the head of most Mandalorians in the clan.

Very nice! I like the asymmetry of the details on the back. If only I wasn't printing myself a bucket now (based off a McQuarrie design), I'd ask about one of these!

I scanned the helmet to make a 3d model for printing.





I also sometimes make these helmets for the clan.
