Numenorean Helms

by Damien on Tue, 02/14/2006 - 23:03

That is a sexy helm. The top looks. . far more pointy than the standard LEGO nasal helm. Is that just my imagination?

My only complaint would be that the lower portion doesn't come down far enough. I'd like to see it reach a little closer to the shoulders.

I like the Greek Helm without the crest-holder. I've been meaning to scrape one of 'em off, but never had the time or inclination to really get it done. It looks good.

Thanks guys, Viking- the first one is a composite of a smoothed bullet helmet top and a Greek style helm bottom all super glued together.

Damien- Yes the helmet is rather pointy, quite by accident but that is also an attractive feature to me too. It would come down farther, but I broke it and in the process of fixing it I sanded the two pieces a little short but it looks ok with the tunic I made for my Ar-Pharazon fig.

I like the pointiness of it.

by Damien on Wed, 02/15/2006 - 17:40

I like the pointiness of it. I think it looks awesome that way. You should send it over to Recluce and have her cast it for you. ;)
I do like how you fixed the two halves together - it's completely seamless, which is an impressive feat.

Sweet Pharazon! Soo...... you want me to mold it for you? Huh huh, do ya?

I'm on a Troll hunt. So, if you're a Troll, look out, cause I'm coming for you! If you have an alternate account and need it removed, PM me and save me the trouble of hunting you down. Let the Culling Continue!

by Pharazon on Wed, 02/15/2006 - 21:49

Eerrr, it's not completely seamless. Like I said I broke it just when I had it finished and when I got it back together, even with putty there is a rather definite seam going about 1/4 the way round off the right eyelet.

Hmm. . . mold it huh? There are a few spots on it where I'm not totally comfortable with it. It's not as perfect as say one of Redbean's creations. I won't rule it out though, maybe I can fix a few things and we'll see.

My brother once put half an automobile back together with duct tape so I wouldn't knock. ; )

This Green Stuff elixer you guys mention, does it fill scratches, remove paint, make a good breakfast? I'm intrigued, what does it do?

Bart- If you mean the first helm, if you scroll up a bit, I explain the ingredients behind the helm.

by Viking Maniac on Thu, 02/16/2006 - 05:41

Well, no it doesn't remove paint, but if something cracks you can just put some of it in then scrape it off to make a smooth surface, but I'd recommend soaking it first otherwise it's a bugger to get off if you've done something wrong.

And if you like toxic green products (namely broccali) then eat away!

by Damien on Thu, 02/16/2006 - 13:27

This Green Stuff elixer you guys mention, does it fill scratches, remove paint, make a good breakfast? I'm intrigued, what does it do?

Well, I will tell you.

Greenstuff is a sculpey-like product manufactured by Citadel Games/Games-Workshop. It's an ultra-smooth sculpting compound that dries hard but durable. It's mostly used for sculpting or customizing wargaming miniatures. What you do is roll the -tiniest- amount and spread it into the seam until it's even with the rest of the helmet. Give it 24 hours to dry completely (it'll look dry much sooner, but trapped moisture underneath it can ruin it in the long-run) and then paint over it. Ta-da, a seamless helmet that's just as sturdy as it was before.

by Damien on Thu, 02/16/2006 - 18:12

Of course. It's designed to be filed down into whatever shape you need. The stuff is perfect for this sort of thing. And inexpensive for a really impressive supply. Five dollars and for what you're using it for - it would last like.. years.

Ha! My Photobucket is working now. You can now see a 2nd Age Gondorian Captain mini. The entire sword-arm is sculpted from Greenstuff.

Unless I'm severely mistaken, the bottom half is simply a Scorpion Knight helmet from KK2.

It was nice, but unnecessary

by Two-Tonic Knight on Fri, 02/17/2006 - 01:23

It was nice, but unnecessary to ask E of Alshire for any kind of permission, since he took his helmet directly from mine. But I give my blessing, too. :-) I like the single-piece smooth look of the helmet. Very slick. Taking the crest-box off the greek helmet is quite appropriate - saves me the trouble of doing it myself to see how it would look. Nice work.

by Pharazon on Fri, 02/17/2006 - 01:50

Hooza Badooza!!! TTK I had no idea you had this idea too/first. Thank you much for your blessing.

Nick- As Damien pointed out, the bottom half comes from the helmet he mentioned. Just now realized I referred to it earlier as a Greek style helm. No Idea where I got that!

MRBee- It was the combination of a dremel, sand paper and a lot of eye strain.

Damien- Where can I pick up this magic elixir you call Green Stuff? Did you make that uber cool Gondorian yourself, or just the arm?

by Damien on Fri, 02/17/2006 - 02:39

The Gondorian wasn't made by me at all. It was a stock plastic Games Workshop Gondorian miniature from the Last Alliance boxed set. The converting was done by Danielle. You can see what the original figures looked like here.

You can get Greenstuff at most decent Hobby Stores, or at Games Workshop, either their website or their actual store locations.
