ItsLuno_13th Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 So here is my WIP for building my own Sandtrooper armor from scratch. The first thing I'm gonna be doing is the helmet. I started looking for good photo material to get an overall feel of the helmets dimensions and proportions. I got the pictures I mainly use from an auction page that sold a real movie used helmet: https://propstoreauction.com/lot-details/index/catalog/399/lot/145214?uact=5&aid=399&lid=145215¤t_page=0 After printing it out on paper to get an overall look I started thinking about the best way to sculpt it for vacuum forming. Im going to split the helm in 3 pieces while sculpting it. The dome, the back of the head piece an then the face mask. This way construction will be easier and way more efficient. When vacuum forming I will connect the dome and the back piece while leaving the mask separate to achieve the two part forming like the real helmets have been produced. The ear pieces will be done in the end after finishing the other three pieces of the helmet. So if you have any questions I will try to answer as fast and detailed as it's possible and if you already have experience with scratch building a Sandtrooper armor I'm always up for some help.
