Wow.. I've been busy. I did get to finish off another Zaku for a friend. He wanted a themed one. It was a special request.. as I've known him for 30 years now... maybe more.<br />
<br />
This one was fun!<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I've been super busy lately. In full production mode. Even halted my daughter's Zaku build for this. But, it's for a good reason.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
I'm building an army of Zaku helmets! And they're all for sale!!</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
My daughter's school is in need of funding. (Whose school isn't, AMIRITE?!?) Well, I don't have any money to give them. Don't have a lot of time to give them either. Seeing as I'm a bad baker. Can't really make scarves. All I'm good at is crafts. And I can do them pretty fast. Why not make something I like? And since I'm already in production of a Zaku helmet. The process is fresh in my head. I can replicate the entire process pretty quickly. Mass producing them wouldn't be that much more effort and time.</div>

Got my costume (and my daughter's) finished just in time for the anime/comic convention. Boy, was it fun.<br />
<br />
At the last minute, she wanted to go as Batgirl. That's ok, because Adam West and Burt Ward was there. And the Batmobile!! Her Batgirl was of the same era so she fit right in. I did take her Zaku helmet along just in case she wanted switch it out. (Which she did.. so, it was cool)<br />
<br />
So impressed in how friendly everyone was! Quite exhausting for me. I never really did go through the vendors booths though. I was pulled in every direction for photo-ops. For 6 hours! Even during my lunch, when my helmet was off, I felt cameras on me. Still cool.<br />

Now, all i have left to do is:<br />
- screens in the side windows<br />
- hot glue the lens in<br />
- custom cut some foam to fit my daughter's head<br />
- maybe another final coat of top coat to seal things off a bit more for durability<br />

Resisted going out today. Even though it's absolutely gorgeous out there. :( But, it payed off. I got the chest ~85% completed! (around 95% fabrication done). All designed on the fly. Measured and cut on the fly too. It's just old school sculpting... but with foam.</div>

After putting the helmet on, I'm not satisfied with the weight balancing on it. It's just too front heavy. Since the comic convention/cosplay is happening this weekend, I don't really have time to rebuild the head. But, I can build a chest (and maybe shoulders). This way, I can anchor the helmet to the shoulders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The chest would be made from the same foam I used on the Zaku project. So, it'll be fast.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The design is mostly from the original Strike Freedom again. And, again, I'll be modifying to make it SD(super deformed) so it'll look proportionally smaller than the head. Still going for that goofy look. I'll use my sketch as a base.</div>

Ok.. it's almost there! Pipes are in. From here, it needs the horn. Maybe another colour paint pass. (To hide some of the defects here and there) It'll also add some shading too. Which will give it some dimension. Maybe some more bits of detail here and there. And if I have time and energy, I'll make some decals to stick on it.<br />
<br />
Then of course, I'll have to suss out the mono eye! Debating whether or not I should have anything there.<br />

Back with my trusty Dremel tool. Love my Dremel. It came with a mini-router attachment. How cool is that!?! What this allows me to do here is 'router' a channel at a perfect 90 degree. It would be impossible to do this by hand. I could, but it'll take forever and it won't be as accurate. Here I have a rig with a board and a couple clamps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>The steps:</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- I make one channel across.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Stop. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Move the board ~3/8" up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Make another channel. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Repeat.</div>

Reason I'm making all these channels is so that one side of the foam has less material. This is so I can roll the foam into tubes. I <i>could</i> use the heat gun again. But, it won't be heated up evenly and it'll bend unevenly. It would just be a mess. I think this was the best approach. Hot glue the ends together.</div>

I hollowed it out as much as I could. To keep the weight down as much as possible. (Learning from my own helmet) This is especially more important as this is for a 4 year old's head/neck.<br />
<br />
Hmm.... I could put my battery in there if I choose to make electrical work on this.<br />
<br />
<br />
Again, gotta hide those fugly jaggies...<br />

This area is pretty complex in shape. Has so many angles coming from all sides. No right angles anywhere. So many curves. I have to measure everything twice before cutting once. Always a good carpenter's rule.<br />

It's one of the baddies. Zaku II. Another costume build for this Halloween. Going to be for Persephanie this time. So, it'll be a foam build.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>The requirements:</b><br />
- It needs to be super light<br />
- Great visibility<br />
- Have lights, just like dad's<br />
- Biggest requirement: Persephanie's favourite colour: purple<br />
<br />
This should be a quick build. Going to be using the minicel foam (the same foam as the exercise mats). I'll be using Persephanie's bicycle helmet for the form building. As it's the perfect shape as the Zaku head. And by forming it on top of the helmet, it also makes it the perfect size as well. It'll look like a chibi version.. just like dad's!! It'll be both cute and awesome. I'll add the usual detail touches on this one as well.<br />

Threw the head, batteries and all, on a scale. 5.5lbs! Doesn't sound like much, but when most of that weight is 6 inches from your forehead. That weight doubles! At least it feels it. So, I have to consider further weight loss. I'll have to revisit the V-fins again. But, this will have to weight. I have other projects I want to tackle first.Wiltonicanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15195077791876551900noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7732507024791542171.post-41222432098133617742012-03-29T21:49:00.001-07:002012-03-29T21:59:17.054-07:00The Damage<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"></span><br />
