I want Magneto's helmet. I'm not crazy about the texture of the thing but I did like the movie enough to warrant making it (also, I needed a break from doing nothing but masks, lately).
As far as the steps went, it pretty much was a step by step recreation of the Majora's Mask process: insulation foam, glue, sanding, sculpting.
Started it Sunday and am pretty close to finishing the sculpt, now. I just need to sharpen a few things and then add the textures. Afterwards, I'll need to see about wrangling enough dough for some extra supplies to cast the helmet.
PICS!
EDIT: 6/12/2014
Here's what it looks like now after a few more tweaks, this morning/afternoon. For those that can't see them, I dropped the brow down as well as thickened them, refined and reshaped the emblem, reshaped the points on the corner of the eyes, refined the top of the dome, and slightly dropped the cheek flanges down a bit.
UPDATE 06 /17/14:
After watching the film a third time, I saw that I needed to rework quite a lot. I modified the foam head/base thing to make it more shapely, reworked the entire back of the helmet, the sides, the bottom, the brow; pretty much everything. Unfortunately, due to the shape of the base underneath, I don't think I'll be able to recreate the goofy egg-head shape of the movie's prop without making the rest look really oblong.
Oh, well.
