OP Project; Mandalorain Helm (Patreon)

the Mandalorian helm OP project is meant to be the ultimate Mandalorian helm replica and so will be designed a bit different! :P

starting out, the design philosophy of the model, how the hell would something like this helm go together?? what sort of structure would there be inside the helm?  what sort of equipment would a bounty hunter in space want to have in his helm? (respirator? communications devise?) being a bounty hunter in space how would he repair his helm if something broke? 

with all that in mind, I have come up with some really cool stuff :D

the helm will have a subframe that that main panels attach to. 

this subframe will also hold all the detail components such as communications devise, cooling systems, targeting computers, oxygen canisters, 

and the coolest part of this project!!!!! the main panels will be removable! allowing you to see the internal frame and detail!!!! this will be the show stopper and could see the one half of the model with all the panels in place looking sleek and elegant the other side showing all the complex intricacy inside the helm :D 

The risk of this model.

This model has a lower than some of the other models but there is a risk of the model not being strong enough, it will be a challenge building a model that is thin enough that it doesn’t add a ton of bulk to the model.

As for the major benefit of this model is it would be my first major step into making a cosplay suit, though I have made cosplays helms before they were not that great for cosplay mainly being too heavy to wear for long periods of time, with this project I can dial in the more efficient ways for producing helms and armour plates! :D
