![]() ![]() I’d made the shape still far too thicker than it wound up needing to be, and wasted a good bit of plaster trying to pour a two-piece mold (which wound up being too thin because, again, I’d made the shape too chunky). Well, after a few days I had built up the shape pretty close – I figured I would cast the pieces fairly roughly, and then do the fine shaping on the casts, since resin doesn’t heat up and deform in-hand. I first considered making a mold and casting them in resin, and when I want to feel like a real prototyper, that means carving a positive from amber ‘victory wax’. While I originally wanted to make all parts of the helmet using Pep, I decided that the Y-shaped-part-that-holds-the-earmuff was complicated enough that I should make them out of something more substantial. In my last post I determined how big the components of the helmet would be, and decided on a method for construction (Pepakura). Hello there! Welcome back to my buildlog for recreating an N1 starfighter helmet – let’s not waste any time and get straight into the process! ![]()
