Once a year the graduates of Model making from Arts University Bournemouth put on a London exhibition for the public as well as companies within the industry. The show is organised by 4D models and other universities including the Hertfordshire model making graduates join us. The show is the pinnacle of three years learning and refining techniques and skills ready for the working work and is a chance to not only show-off your work but connect with other students as well as prospective employers.
Unfortunately in the huge rush of preparing for it I forgot to post about it in advance but the Bournemouth model makers will be displaying a secondary show at the arts university which you are free to wonder about and talk to students, the dates for this show are 18th June to the 3rd July.
Apologies for the poor picture, it was a darkened room.

During the last summer I had an excess supply of resin and silicone, so I decided to make something I'd always wanted; Magneto's helmet.

The first step I took was sculpting the helmet from clay before covering it in a think layer of silicone to pick up the details. After making a two-part fibreglass jacket I was left with a raw cast that needed the eye/mouth pieces cutting out. After a little sanding and priming the piece was sprayed with metallic automotive paint and then the helmet was lined with a purple fabric.

I must first offer my apologies for not posting in nearly a month! I've been hard at work finishing this project so I hope that the following pictures make up for the wait. I'll continue to post progress pictures of it being made in the following weeks but I couldn't resist showing this piece now, so do enjoy!
