The Helmet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Take your bust cast and throw on some clay. The helmet will take about 40 hours to sculpt for those who do not sculpt for a living. It took me three weeks to sculpt my helmet with working a full time job. Be prepared for this to take a while to sculpt.

The top of the helmet comes off the bust about .5 inch.
|
|
|
|
The ridge that circles the bottom of the helmet is about 1 1/2 in. in diameter and circle the entire piece.
|
|
|
|
The helmet is about 1.5 to 2 in. off the sides of the bust.

I recommend you not sculpting in the side vent divits. They will lock down the plastic when you vaccuum form the helmet.
|
|
|
|
The ears are separate pieces. I recommend you sculpting these after you have put a full plastic helmet together. this way the mold will be an actual representation of the finished product.
|
|
|
|
Just sculpt the ears on the finished helmet and then pull a plaster mold.
|
|
|
|
Now pull a positive mold from that and vacuum form the ears. Easier than trying to cut and bend plastic to fit your needs.
|
|
|
And that's the basics on Sculpting the Armor out in clay. Now all you need to do is PULL the Plaster Molds. |
