Pre Era Helmet

[Tal Beskad]

After some conversation, it was either modern era or pre era Mando, so I chose the latter:

This is the concept:



I wanted to make it a bit more crazier, so here's an idea of it:





Now here's the progress:





















Any and all thoughts about this would be much appreciated

The horns throw me off a little, maybe take it easy on their length-its a great start just becareful not to get too out of universe

some call me..........Tim?

Lol at Mulreel At least there's no rabbit...

I like it. The shot of you holding it made me think it was way too small, but it must have been the massive sleeves. I do agree that the horns may be a bit much, but you could do shorter ones perhaps?

[Lucas McCoy]

it's really boxy, the art you showed is more concave and organic looking. progress is good tho

Those...those were my legs. >_>

The horns may be a bit long, but I sorta want them to be that length.

Here's more:

I put supports for the inner cheeks:



I put one of the horns on, just to give a general idea, from the left side:


And from the right side:

My bad, I mistook your big toes for thumbs lol.

Have you seen this build of the same style helmet?  Might be useful as you build yours.

I agree here, just something about them throws me off as well and I agree I think it's the length, they become a bit too visually overpowering. I do kinda like the idea of the jaw bones, but I wouldn't just stick them on the outside of the cheek, If it was me I would embed them while doing the bondo work. (Not sure how your doing this part since it hasn't been stated as of yet.)

And as Taglar posted I am as well doing a build based off of this same guy, so if you have any questions on anything I've done so far I'd be more than happy to help ya out. 

[Anonymiss]

honestly, the horns make me think of dark age/barbarian armored warriors, which is nice but I don't see "Mandalorian" when that's in play so drastically.

[Tal Beskad]

I understand that I'm following guidelines for pre-era armor, but does have to look exactly as it does in that picture? Would there be variations to that one?

[Taglar Dreskk]

There could be variations...I guess the issue at hand is so far your helmet looks very "modern era" based.  The only known images of "early mandalorians" have these bone/skull helmets with a more sleek design.

[Hondo Karr]

The concept of the helmet is fine and customization is fine as well. However, my issue wih it to this point is the design that's being built and shown... the base has a striking resemblence to a modern era helmet design. I am trying not to pass judgement on an incomplete piece but, at this time, it's looking more like a modern era helmet with horns teeth etc added to it rather than an early era helmet. Keep in mind, most of the Tuang mask/helmets of this period were form fitting helmets that looked more bone or rough hewn metal than the sleek smooth metal on the modern era helmets. Also, there were as many or more masks as full helmets. Also, things like the indented cheeks etc went nearly as prominant.

if you want to keep the horns that length I would lay them against the helm so they flow towards the back of the helm insted of standing straight up. And as some has said it does have a modern look to it. Look at seugatis' thred. Try to get it more like that where it looks like bone and not a master work metal helm.
