ELENDIL'S HELMET ..... Building a custom articulated 1/6 scale SAURON from Peter Jackson's LOTR using 3D printed statue parts

Your mini art installation was glorious, and beautifully presented. All joking aside.

LOL Cheers! It's a sort of Giger meets Jackson Pollock! I do actually genuinely like the 'TV snow' effect on the jawless skull and it's background and might use it as my new avatar. To think that a cockup in a spray booth would probably have gotten me a good grade in my foundation of art and design illustration/graphics course back in the day!

I added some burnt bone and detail to the skeleton and skull, nothing exciting... although it now makes me smell and want gorgeous Greek 'paithaikia' which is a massive plate off charred/crispy at the edges lamb rib chops!

That is looking great. The effect you achieved on this skeleton is amazing.

Thank you Stryker!

Made Elendil's iconic helmet accoutrements using the silver card for the first time, it'll be getting PVA'd and painted. I also remembered I had part of a 1/6 brain lying around in a box of random stuff in my store room (GO memory!!) as you do. Thought this would work well to fill in the space of the helmet (since it's only a partial skull I cast a decade ago) and be an interesting detail to see through the hole in his helmet. The front crest starts out a bit too tall but I do cut it down in the end .































TOO LONG



SHORTENED

Great job with that complex helmet! And nice brain poking through.

Nice additions to the helmet. The exposed brain is a fun idea.

The helmet is looking really good.

Thanks guys! so close to the finish line now! Just got some flames to finish painting to put on Elendil. I decided to give him bits of his armour, something that might survive a dunking in lava even briefly (tbh his skeleton wouldn't but this is fantasy and a nightmare/dream scenario) so burnt bits of it too, not sure about the mail placement, looks too 'staged', think I'll mod that too.

Very nice weathering and painting.

Cool. The broken sections of the helmet, and the paint weathering on the that and the additional section of armor is really well done.
