The rest looks to be a piece of cake judging from builds on here.Clone trooper pilots were special clone troopers bred in the Kamino cloning centers for the purpose of piloting craft of the Grand Army of the Republic and the early Galactic Empire. I've heard sanding is the longest job of all, and I'm mostly concerned about getting the smoothest dome, etc. (I wonder if this is possible, as the plastic is so thick? Will it even go into the details?)Īnd the voila! Main concerns are sculpting (making the corners sharp etc.) but I'm sure this can be done with the right tools and improvisation. (I wonder how well the details will stand out in the mold? Will quality be lost?) Saw mold in half and remove model.ġ0 - Using negative/female vacuum-forming at a high level of pressure (70psi max, as I have heard this produces outstanding quality), form a product out of 1/8 inch plastic.

(I hope.)ĩ - Pour plaster OUTSIDE the helmet to make a negative vacuum mold. Sand and sculpt until smooth.ĥ - Cry deeply as model fails to look anything resembling good.ħ - Other parts will be made with, perhaps wood or plasti-card to ensure that the parts are as accurate and sharp-looking as possible.Ĩ - The final product sanded and with wood/plasticard extras glued or puttied on should be perfect. Glue model together.Ĥ - Apply Bondo one area at a time. I'm going to post a brief list of the steps I'm going to build it in, and it would be really great of you guys to point out any errors or tips.

I'm new here and judging from the quality of many builds I've seen on here this is the place to go for epic costumes!Īnyhow, I'm going to attempt to make a full costume of Clone Pilot Warthog, starting with the helmet.
