Tusken Raider - Mk2 version - a double scratchbuild
Posted: Mon May 20, 2019 9:06 am
I had so much fun a year or so ago when I built my first Tusken bust. And after upgrading some of my gear, I decided it'd be fun to build two more helmets, but making these fully wearable and adding some new features. Here is my first one that is now owned by one of the forum members.
This is a work in progress, so it'll take a few months, but for starters I concocted a mould for the eye stalks. It has a central column of playground chalk, leaving a hole down the middle so there is less metal to be removed.
I cannot overstate how much fun there is casting aluminium!
Turning the inside of the eye stalk at a tapered angle - makes it lighter and should also increase the field of view.
More to come.
