I've been doing nothing but restocking since mid February. Eventually I got bored enough to multi-task while the machine was cutting. I started making some Fifth Element stones.

I finished up the Mekaneck helmet by putting on the lenses. I spent a lot of time thinking about how to do this and ended up going with my original idea. I think it turned out great.

Once I covered the helmet in paper to colour it, it was almost ready. I'm still deciding if I want to weather it a bit.

While it would be impossible to make a one piece helmet fit as tight to the head as the action figure. I did fill in the bottom as much as I could while still being able to put it on.

All I had to do was construct the bottom of the helmet and the shape was complete. The back ended up being trickier than it should have been because it wanted to be flat, so I had to adjust some angles to make it look proper.

The goggles were next. Even though I measured them all out when drawing them out, I still ended up rebuilding one side to make them even.

The top of the helmet and goggles shaped out. I ended up trimming the front of the goggles to bring them in line with the point of the helmet like the vintage action figure.

Once I shaped out the Mekaneck helmet I realized I had to trim out some of the skull cap to ensure it wasn't going to be more huge than it was already shaping up to be.

Now a series of process posts for the Mekaneck helmet, because who has two thumbs and needs content... 👍 THIS DUDE 👍
I started with a skull cap to make sure it fit my head. I used the top of the Bo-Katan hemet pattern from Odin Makes on YouTube.
