Stormtrooper Black Series Helmet

 

Found a Black Series helmet at a local toy fair and I decided to have some fun with it by adding some interior detail. Not screen accurate, (is there really a screen accurate shot of the inside?). I know there is a version in a Star Wars cross section book somewhere, but I don't care much for the lenses being covered by greeblie bits so I decided to do my own thing.

On top of that I don't have all the details or resources to recreate it faithfully. 

Besides I'm not a fan of the way it's depicted in the first place.

So I'm going to do it my way.

I took the sections apart and started gluing foam to the interior.

A fun weekend project, That's all for now.

Blaster Mod

 I liked this video so...

I hunted the gun down on eBay, which I had a hell of a time finding due to its age...

I found some airsoft parts for the side magazine and started painting...

The end result.

And then there's this.

More Experimentation with Foam

 More experimentation with foam costuming. Trying my hand using cleaner cuts and better forming techniques. 

Also I'm tinkering with different styles and shapes based on anime line art styles used in the 80's.

Much of the emphasis is trying to figure out cool helmet designs.

Still doing this just for fun.

More to come...

Wasn't happy with the face plate so I decided to revise it...

I also modified a Nintendo Zapper to use as a sidearm and decided to add a trigger guard to the grip.
