Hey guys!

I just wanted to show off my latest Helldivers 2 helmet — the Hell-Bent helmet. :)

I finished this one today and I’m really happy with how it turned out.

It has real scratches, battle damage, and weathering throughout, so it feels properly worn-in rather than just freshly painted.

Hope you like it!

Let me know what you think!

Needs to be white, side opening or with the sorta C shaped front opening pictured and sturdy enough to be dragged on smooth concrete, industrial rental carpet, and over those plastic wire covers they use to get power across the isle in conventions.

Was considering this one pictured cus its cheap but unsure if something like this will actually be able to be dragged along a floor all day without shredding/breaking up.

I really dont want "can you drag a polyethelene body bag about all day without it ripping" in my search history and I'm skeptical of wether or not I'd get a useful result 🤣

Despite lots of searches on various marketplaces I'm struggling to actually find something that looks correct.

Why disassemble? Because we can't afford super-large, high-end printers! 😄

I followed online reference images, but they didn't include the internal structure of the helmet. After modeling it based on the exterior, I found the internal structure made it completely unwearable. The second image is a diagram of the bottom structure of my current helmet. If anyone has made something similar by hand, I would appreciate any advice.

I spent about a week shaping this mask.
The mask is made up of only cardboard and paper.
The mask movement is controlled by a servo motor using arduino!
It is my first electronic build

I've been practicing printing and processing my own props for fun and custom orders. Here's my most recent project of a Fusion Core. Let me know your thoughts as I'm always looking to improve!

Does anyone have any ideas for what to use to make these? The arch one is a window. I'm renting, so I can't permanently attach or affix anything but I want something I can do on that scale and place overtop of the window (nailing it to the wall is fine). I'm going to use these vinyl window things for the pattern but I want something more 3d for the arch.

The second one is a cheap mirror from Walmart and I would just attach the piece on top.

This would also need to be painted and be able to be done safely inside since I don't really have an outdoor space.

Thanks in advance!

All day or for those wanting to make a full size prop

Looking to replicate the finish of the armour above on some 3-D printed armour pieces.

To me, it’s a blueish black, i’ve tried layering a gloss blue spray paint with a metallic black through an airbrush, but I didn’t really get the results after.

Any other ideas?

I’ve been wanting to turn one of the weirdest creatures from One Piece into a real prop for a while, so I finally built my own version from scratch.

It’s fully animatronic, with moving eyes, a moving mouth, sound, and a real telephone cable connecting it to the phone. The goal was to make it feel less like a static prop and more like an actual little creature.

The build involved a lot of sculpting, 3D printing, molding/casting, painting, electronics and way too much time getting the tiny movements to feel right. 😅

Really happy with how this little guy turned out!

So. I'm currently working on a Halo 3 Brute Spiker. I am trying to be game accurate and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a paint color option for the main gun. I was going to use Leadbelcher from Citadel for the blades. If it matters, I'm in the United States

Thank you
