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.
