Hello Everyone!
It's been a hot minute since I've posted here (actually almost a decade!!)
-allow me to re-introduce myself, I'm Biskt, I went by 'Blackout' back in the day.
I put the prop and model-making stuff mostly on hold when I started university to focus on my studies. I wanted to get a job in the film or videogame industry, and games ended up appealing to me more so digital artwork was/has been my focus for a while now.
Recently however I've been trying to make more time for creative stuff in the physical dimension- (which ironically of course these days can involve a lot of 3D printing and therefore 3D modelling!)
My most recent project is a Warhammer 40k Space Marine helmet which I'm planning to 3D print.
Below are some renders of the model at the moment: it's my take on the Primaris Variant of the helmet.
I wanted to go for a slightly more grounded look, but still maintain some of the proportionality and details that make the original design so Iconic.
I referenced various pieces of art from the codexes and other illustrations as they tend to have proportions I prefer to the more comical shapes of the actual miniatures.
Apologies for the watermarks, I've been advised that unmarked 3D print files and renders often get yoinked and re-sold
So yeah, thanks for looking!
I'm currently working on getting all the connections and tolerances figured out so it will be as breezy as possible to assemble when printed.
Assuming I'm satisfied with the quality of the build I'll probably make these files available for purchase if there's any interest.

The reference used - I liked the red helmet's proportions the most, so that was a big influence.
And some material renders for fun. I hope I can achieve a similar finish when I build this for real
