Removable Helmet figures

[Mike710]

Hi all,
Every figure I'm making now will have a removable helmet. I feel this gives the figure their own identity. The ispiration comes from the great Reginald Rutledge, whose creativity is the reason why I'm back into this great hobby!

That is really cool!

I appreciate the creativity shown on this site but I feel that this falls under way too much free time.

I think all you would need to do to get a rounded helmet is to get some modeling clay like apoxie sculpt. Add some of the modeling clay to the the top of the squarish helmet and shape it to be more round, then paint away.

You can pretty much skip that step and go to direct sculpting with the modeling clay. Form a basic shape of the helmet with a bead of clay, gouge and shape the interior until you have a nice, hollow space, trim at the edges and either set to dry or bake —depending upon the material you're using. Sand after drying, then paint. Add facemask and you've got an authentic helmet ready to place on your player's head.

And some tough looking Detail, can't knock it till you try it I always say..

Yeah, awesome prototypes, need rounder helmets, will be hard to do but you can do it waterboy! If you keep it up I will buy some, make a Westbrook and Dawkins!
