SAMURAI HELMET WIP 4

Gonna make something wearing the helmet :) Guess what??

Made the rough shape out of paper clay (cheap and clean). Was taking too long to dry so i dumped it in the microwave!!! Bad idea... the thing burn from inside out!!! LOL!!! but didn't matter i was only concerned about the surface. But my whole house smelt of burnt paper... :P

Tested it on the helmet. It was too big. So took a blade and just started shaping it to the rough shape.

Test fitted again better. Got better definition also.

Took Bondite which is like miliput and applied all over the head. Paper is too porus.

Head Vs Head WIP

Another build off with Whitebase... this time the theme is a gundam head.
I chose the zaku head... this will be my first and final WIP for this build till next year... got another group build... :( I really over committed.... :(

The idea is alot of these guys (about 30 of them) worshipping a big head!
This was my test model... not very happy with it.
Photobucket

The idea is that there is a shaman leading the worship ceremony and the 30 guys are lined up giving the Zeon salute. It will be set in a ruined temple. Not sure yet if im gonna do foilage. anyway here's the base.

Thought it would be fun to do some mayan/aztec like designs :)

All together now.

Thinking of adding pillars... not sure though...
Photobucket

Wanted the Zaku head to have a fin to show that it's a head from a squad leader had to scratch build one with plaplate... what a pain.

Test fit... fail

File and test again... better...
