THE FACE OF DEATH

And it's done!

PAPER MADNESS pt. vi

Finished doing the carvings, then primered the whole thing silver. Then a flat black base with silver dry-brushed effect around the edges.

PAPER MADNESS pt. v

I've completed the basic clay sculpt for the helmet. Next step is the refining process.

Can't wait!

PAPER MADNESS pt. iv

After 2 and a half packs of 500gm paper clays, 3 packs of cigarettes and a very long weekend, this is what I got..

PAPER MADNESS pt. iii

Finally managed to drag my lazy ass to Balakong and bought 2 cans of resin. Applied 3 layers to the pep Sauron, I even mixed aluminium powder to the resin batch, just to see the effect. But I didn't see much except that it turned silverish..Bah..

After the resin hardened, I applied a layer of paper clay to start shaping..

Still needs a lotta work though..That's all for now..

PAPER MADNESS pt. ii

Alhamdulillah, I managed to finish folding and pasting the bloody thing at last! But it's still a long way to go. I still need to coat it with resin, then fibreglass it, bondo...bla bla bla...Here's some pics..

This is just a pre-assembly stage. The 2 smaller horns needs to be re-aligned. Still a long way to go fellas..

PAPER MADNESS

I'm starting a new project. I know, I've got other unfinished jobs in my hands now, and I don't need to start a new project. But, you see, the alien queen needs a new 0.15 nozzle, which I don't have right now, and the AT-ST diorama needs a base and a static grass applicator, both are not in my hands yet. And the GN-X diorama remake is well, in need of resin. 

So....... I'm starting a new project.

This is a 1:1.5 scale Sauron Helm. It was supposed to be 1:1 scale, but I didn't realise that I needed to enlarge the damn thing before I start, and when I did realize, it was too late. So, 1:1.5 it is. I can't remember where I got the pep file, for I obtained it for some time now.

Started out by printing the pep file on to 200gm coated paper. Took 30 pieces to form the whole Helm. Started cutting and gluing Friday night. Here's what I got by the end of Friday..

Continued cutting and folding and pasting all throughout Saturday. And here's the result...

Starting to take shape now..And by the time the weekend is over, this is what I got....

Still a long way to go. I thought I could finish it over the weekend, but I guess I was wrong. The bastard's a bit too tough.
