Been a while since I completed a prop project. Recently started working on an Inferno Squad inspired helmet. I got a mold of a Tie Fighter Pilot helmet (not the best mold, has some imperfections).

First photo is the sanding/primer/sanding phase.



Second photo is the start of the base coat (satin black). I'll do 4-5 passes of farily thick coats, then I'll use a buffing compound to smooth and shine out any blemishes. Then clear coat. Buff again.



Once base coat is done, I'll move on to masking for the red stripes and gray stripe on the back of the mohawk. Once done will add Imperial and Inferno squad badges on the brow. Clear coat. Then light weathering.

Still trying to figure out the internal padding I'll use. This helmet is resin and heavy and quite large.

Base coat layers done. Inside now and will let it cure for a few days before  buffing and clear coat layers.

Sweet. Love seeing your work, and Inferno Squad is one of the best additions to Canon that Disney has done.

Progress update. Installed Red Lenses. Installed Vinyl Decals (and weathered them).

On tap. Install Greebles (Ears, tusks) then lightly weather entire helmet.

Dirty and scratched now. Just need to add ear greeblies and work on the interior.

I never liked shiny helms, so this one is quite distressed. Smiley

Helmet completed. Added mouth mesh, ear greeblies, internal padding, and some additional weathering. Used and abused like I like my props to look! Smiley

Next project on tap is a customized X-Wing Pilot helmet (OT version).
