New Heavy Mando Helmet (help me name it??)
(FIRST OF ALL, sorry about the double post, my other account is busted)
A fellow reddit jockey on this page said they’d like to see my take on a Heavy Mando helmet. I was gonna make something akin to Paz Vizsla’s helmet with sharp lines and harsh rigidity. But who wants something that’s already been done?
It’s taken a few months after a bit of a sabbatical but here’s my (nearly finished) WIP for a set of unnamed Heavy Mando variants. The first one features sharp, arcing lines from the cheeks that come to a formidable point down at the bottom of the mandibles. Atop the front of the dome is a reinforced blast shield, meant to protect the wearer from even the most heinous of impacts. The bucket consists of a 7 degree angle from the dome. The plane above the visor boasts a very subtle curve outwards, imitating a low-browed predatory gaze from the intentionally narrow eye visor slit. There is a rebreathing pod at the back of the bucket that will print independently. Likewise, the band that attaches to the earcaps is entirely separate, and will feature strong magnets so that other visor accessories can be attached in their place - just in case a particularly difficult target needs requires specialty equipment (those accessories are coming soon).
The second variant is identical to the first in all but one way. The cheeks feature secondary angles that are meant to sharpen the mandibles with subtle curves and less rigid geometry, meant to pay homage to the skull of the mythosaur.
Both helmets will be test printed once I’ve finalized the designs (I’ll post photos on this page) and then the raw buckets and digital files will be available on my Etsy page.
One thing I’m quite terrible at is the naming process! I would be glad for any ideas! Drop em in the comments or DM me. Thanks for looking!
