Ronin's Buy'ce WIP

(1/5) > >>

Ronin Tavic:
So I haven't been posting while I'm working on this, but I've been taking pictures throughout it, so here we go

typical "fresh-outta-the-box" picture  :P


Glued and fiber-glassed inside, smoothing out the rough patches.
*WARNING* the Rubies 2-Piece takes work to look like a solid piece... much filing and sanding was needed to get the seam to line up...


Base coat down, and smoothed out some of the bumps and ridges.

Serim Merec:
Looks like it's coming along  :) just a couple o' questions.
 1. You said that you've "been taking pictures throughout". How long has that been? Just wondering what kind of time period it would be to mod this bucket.
 2. Have you thought about cutting out the slightly bulging/rounded cheeks that the rubies has and replacing it with a flater cheeks? I understand if you don't want to do that, especially since you've already primed it.

Keep it coming!  ;D

Ronin Tavic:
Honestly, the thought never even occurred to me :/ and at this point the helmet is nearly done. I'm uploading the pictures a few at a time so as not to look like spamming. Over all it probably took me about 2 weeks to do.It was, however, difficult to find time some days, so it could be done in less time I'm sure

Ronin Tavic:

Here's a good look at the top. Do you see a seam? cause I don't see one ^_^


Second coat of sliver paint

Ronin Tavic:
and the last (full) layer of paint: White.

Top

Right Side(the earcap is left off while I paint so I can adjust the RF and keep it from drying in place)

Front, visor still not in place.. need to heat it up and bend it right.

and the Left.
PS. I did not intend to have my obsessive collection of SW figures in the background... really.
