-JD- Posted January 11, 2010 Hello everyone. After seeing great maxifigs in the forum, I decided to start my own version. I will most likely only do the head and shoulders, but maybe, if I have any time, I will continue to expand it. This was it a few days ago: And now: It is a WIP, so don't get too picky! Suggestions and C&C are very welcome. I could do with some proffesional advise! Btw, I'll update the thread every time I work on this in LDD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoryoCox Posted January 11, 2010 It looks really good so far. I cannot wait until I see the finished helmet. If there was one thing that I would point out is that it is a bit blocky. I am sure you will sort that out so good luck until then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zorro Posted January 11, 2010 Looks good so far. I am not much into maxifigs myself, but I can understand the people that are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rufus Posted January 11, 2010 Looks good so far. I am not much into maxifigs myself, but I can understand the people that are. Me neither, but you're doing a good job so far JD. I like the way you've done the eyes. I'd just suggest more of a bridge to the nose, and get the jaw to protude more: this pic is just a toy helmet, but makes the point: Good luck!

Big Cam Posted January 11, 2010 Most impressive. Are you aiming for a helmet you can actually wear? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-JD- Posted January 12, 2010 Thanks everyone. I think it won't look as blocky when complete. Remember, it is LEGO, so It is bound to look blocky, eh? An example of a LEGO set which is blocky: Me neither, but you're doing a good job so far JD. I like the way you've done the eyes.

That picture is perfect for me btw! Are you aiming for a helmet you can actually wear? I was thinking about it, but then decided against it. The price tag would shoot up if I made it any bigger.

Ar Sparfel Posted January 13, 2010 An interesting project. It's not very easy to build this round Stormtrooper helmet. When Burman said it's a bit blocky, I think he wants to explain that the helmet should be more round and not like a square. well i've tried unsuccessfully to made one for my maxifig. Here, you can see my three versions http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=316732 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If your helmet is less blocky than maul then you are well onto the right track of making a sweet helmet. I can't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
