Thanks!
I am doing a two stage moulding. I will clay the helmet up and make a sillicone mould. Then use lost wax casting to make a resin vac mould like i did for the MKVII chest pieces.
I will get the masks made from clear PETG and sprayed gold on the inside.
Here's what i have done on it so far:

^ You're making your own Mark VII faceplates too Barry?
Modified faceplates. Not stepping on the toes of the resin corrected one done by Hologram AI.
Mine will be like the Gemini/Starboost face. No eyes till you turn on the lights.

Oh, okay.
I would have bought 3 of H AI's faceplates if the mouth mod was done too. Planning to get two Mark VII helmets for Mark IV and VI.
Anyways, hope someone else would do a complete mod. Wish you were doing it.
"No eyes till you turn on the lights." Now that sounds cool!

And placing those WIPs on the gantry platform makes it look like you are building an actual suit yourself a la Tony Stark

Haha. I just put that in the detolf to make a Play Arts Kai figure look cool.

Thanks. I did a quick sculpt with plasticene to see what it could look like with smaller eyes and no mouth gap.
Obviously, it's just a quick job to see what it would look like. I would use Epoxy normally.

Now that's proper.
Eye slits should have been narrower from HT.
Polyester plastic. Like the stuff they use for Evian bottles and the like.

Hmmm... Wish I had those skills.
It's just plasticene!
I scraped it off after i took the pics.
But... I then got in my car and went up to work and sculpted them in for real using green stuff putty.
I also sculpted the mask down a bit to cover the mouth gap.
It looks a lot nicer and will suffice till i get a replacement from Hologram AI.

Sounds easy!
I'll just wait and hope for someone to do a complete faceplate mod.

Well i popped into work today first thing and had a go at it.
This is a 20 minute job on the faceplate. It will look better with paint of course.

Lookin awesome! Did you close the mouth gap all the way? I think there was a small gap.
I was waiting for the Green Stuff to fully harden.
I have since sanded it back to have the tiniest of gaps.

Awesome, looks pretty damn good.
Thanks. I have something pretty cool planned for the first images of my first MKVII when it arrives(I have my fingers crossed for tomorrow).
I just need to source some decent gold paint tomorrow so this mask can be finished in time for the pics.
