300 Spartan Helmet - travsall - 07-20-2008
I've been wanting a Spartan helmet from the movie 300 since I saw it in theaters, but held off buying one till I saw a version that really caught me, this is it! Got this on the RPF and am friggin thrilled with it! Flexable fiberglass casting, and a fantastic pull!! Really finished up nicely, and was fun as hell to work on! Took a lot of cutting and trimming work, as you'll see, but it wasn't all that bad once I found a good method that worked. The main seller for me on this helmet, other then the incredable dead accurate sculpt was the size. This fits and looks EXACTLY like the movie helmets did, fairly snug and close to the head. This was damn fun to do the finishing on too, between the battle damage and blood splatter, awesome stuff! Here it is outta the box<img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/3001.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/3002.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/3003.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />and then with a few hours work, got it all trimmed up, sanded, and battle damage added<img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/3004.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/3005.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/3006.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/3007.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

After that, I primed it, then added the base coat, a really nice hammered bronze spray paint<img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/3008.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/3009.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/30010.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v162/travsall/30011.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

Thanks guys! Nope, this isn't Sarge's helmet, that's a damn nice version, but a tad large I hear, this is the one Tim Allen made. He's still got em up for sale too on the RPF for a damn good price!
