When we were first ask if we wanted to do this. I had
already been following the progress about the helmets from various
artist. In june I received a call and I said HECK YES!!!! When I
received the bucket I had 2 weeks to convert it and put my spin on the
helmet. My specialty is Stargate replicas. So I wanted the helmet to
perfectly represent both stargate and star wars. Since I love both, I
knew this would be easy. The main thing with this helmet I didn't want
to convert the entire thing to stargate. I took the same elements
kept them there, but put a stargate spin on that particular accent. My
thought process for the whole helmet was what would the empire look
like if Darth Vader or the emperor had become a host to a goa'uld
symbiote.<br />

After being resined and primed a few times. I used smooth-cast 326 from smoothon (red so strong tint) Its what I had around at the time. I also cut out the eyes. Im going to fabricate those later.<br />

Up to this point the helmet has been sanded a 2nd time, and the shaping and smoothing process has started to really come together. In these pictures the bondo has been applied in a super thin coat. 1st layer of this process. Before now the helmet has 3 coats of fiberglass resin jelly.<br />

There will be more Iron Man later.Phillip Freemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11178703856232001822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583862874040736596.post-63263699769210300282011-03-04T22:47:00.000-08:002011-03-04T22:47:39.684-08:00Crazy overload of projects!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Right now Im working on tons of projects. Iron-Man mark 6 suit the helmet is almost done. Then there is the Mind numbing amout of ZPMs. And on top of that the ZPM is about to go through a major overhaul. Im calling it ZPM 2.0 It will be more true to the sreen used unit. Another props from Stargate: Atlantis is my A.R.G. aka Anti-replicator gun. Im about ready to send it off to the laser cutter to have the text and fine details cut in it then it is off to another mold!!!! yay! Another project is for the fan of Valves Half Life 2 it is Alyxs Vance gun from episodes 1 and 2. We will also probably see it in episode 3 too. . . <br />
<br />
I plan on posting complete build stories when I complete a project, but I thought I would intermix for a while until my projects start coming to a finish. Yes and the projects that are on the bench will have to be finished before july, because my beautiful fiance and I will be moving to just outside Boston Mass. Yes we are so happy and excited!<br />

But thats not a bad thing. I am planning lots of different things for the future. I have also decided that Iron man and war machine will have to wait. I am going to be making some video game props from some very popular titles. World of Warcraft: Cataclysm , Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 2 & 3, and Half-Life series. Phillip Freemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11178703856232001822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583862874040736596.post-37578896502608684692010-08-23T08:40:00.000-07:002010-08-23T08:40:20.660-07:00Welcome!Welcome to my blog! I am new to this "blog" stuff, So I will start my first thread by telling you who I am and what I do. My name is Phillip Freeman And I build T.V. and Movie props. I am primarily a sci-fi prop and modeler, but I will branch out into other areas. Right now my list of shows that I make replicas are from Stargate, Stargate:SG1, Stargate: Atlantis, Stargate: Universe, Star Trek (all of it), Star Wars, Earth Final Conflict, Battlestar Galactica, and the list goes on. My movie list is also massive, but current projects are scale 1:1 statues from Iron-Man 1 and 2. <br />
<br />
<br />
I have had many trials in my career as a model maker, but I like to think of them as finishing marks. Yes going into this field I understand that prop and model makers are quickly going old school with the perfection of CGI and 3D tech. I'm not blind to this. I myself have started to blend those worlds. My future projects will use both areas 3D and "old school" sculpting medias. Everything from designing props in a 3D program and using a 3D desktop printer to produce some items while still spending hours copying styrene layers and cutting them out. I will even dive head first into pepakura projects. Pepakura is very new to me, but for some it is old. And I plan to spot light some of the artist that have mastered that form of prop making. I hope you will follow and stay informed. Also please take the time to visit my youtube account. I will also try to answer any questions you might have. Thank You!<br />
