This project started here, a few years ago:
http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?s ... entry43205Some weeks ago, a friend of mine asked me if, one day, I would be able to make an helmet for him.
He's not a hardcore collector of props or collectibles but enough fan of Star Wars to appreciate this kind of item!!
He's interested by a stormtrooper helmet, but his favorite character is the biker scout. First motivation.
Considering that his birthday is on May the 4th (it's not a joke) and that I don't have any idea of gift...I guess that an helmet could make a good present. Second motivation.
And cherry on the cake, EFX announced thanks to GINO that they will probably not release the biker scout helmet in vaccum formed plastic but more in fiberglass. Thus for hardcore collector like me, who wants the most accurate helmet...restart to 0. Third motivation (even if I don't pretend to make the most accurate biker scout helmet).
Thus I decided to took of my old molds from their boxes and started to rework them. Not only repair them, but make modification.
Here's a first test! The back and the visor are close to be the final design. The faceplate is the V1, modified with resin. I already started to rework the faceplate mold (reworked the snout area, the cheek, the lense opening, the length, etc...).
Not really happy with the decals which turned too much "blue" (damn inkjet printer!!)
