This is my first prop/costume/cosplay that I've ever done before. I've always wanted to build my own helmet, props, and finally found the time to try it. For myself I'm a graphic designer that did some furniture design while in school, so I have a little primer in shaping, sanding, and working in 3D. I think the most challenging aspect of this project was all the new techniques that I had to figure out to make this a reality: sculpting, moldmaking, casting, electronics.

This is my Guy Man project as it stands after the past few weeks.
As was the inspiration for many, Volpin's build really inspired me to try one on my own, since I've always wanted to...
I'm working in my spare time, and have no power tools besides my trusty proxxon, of course.
cardboard cross sections
gap filler sprayed and carved
air dry clay applied over the foam
Bondo, Spot Putty, Sanding, Repeat!
"Ear" designs were lasercut from a local shop
And just about where I am tonight, I've mapped out and applied the layer of clay for the chin, headband, and other flat detail, tomorrow it should be dry and ready to sand, shape, and refine.
Any and all suggestions, tips, or glaring mistakes please do tell, I'd love to hear them.
