Kustom Kreon Helmets...
Posted: Sat Dec 29, 2012 10:27 pm
wulongti graciously sent me a file with a Kreon head...so, of course, I couldn't help but start fabricating some helmets.
Oh, wait...that one on the far left no helmet! It king!
Next to the super-d-formed t-rex is a helmet suitable for Reflector, followed by Air Raid, Slingshot, and Ultra Magnus. Relfector got a little messy, but keep in mind that those lines should pretty much disappear in the printed version. I built in Slingshot's sunnies just to make it a little more interesting. I might put some relief work in the sides of his helmet just so that they aren't plain blanks.
And I just realized there were artsy-fartsy shading tools in SketchUp, so I couldn't resist presenting these helmets in "cel-shaded" style. It's so very 2004.
EDIT: So a test batch of these helmets are up on Shapeways if anyone wants to give them a spin. Just send me a PM. They should fit, in theory...but I can't make any promises.
I'm contemplating releasing a version with built-in faceplates. Thoughts?
