What's the fun it that? HT wants you to buy the next upgraded VII probably a die cast with the correct head.

Yep.. You are probably right.

Have you given any thought to the mouth yet? Going to get all fancy cat and try to sculpt the bottom as well?

But that'll take a year or 2 for those die cast lollll

Since I don't have my Mark7 yet, I haven't considered it. OnceI have mine in hand I might just do that. I would like to have the whole helmet 1st to be able to test fit it as I go along.

I do have a second faceplate from Ebay though, and was thinking about doing a battle damaged modded faceplate for my BD Mark7, if all goes well with this one of course. I will probably wait until I have the BD version in hand to do that one though so I can match up the damage.

I bought a full head to mod. It was only like 10 more than the faceplates were going for. Seemed like a good deal to get the whole mellon head.

Very optimistic from your pictures this can be fixed and look good. So very happy with what I am seeing from you.

I almost bought a whole helmet, but decided I wanted at least 2 face plates. I may end up getting an extra melon head helmet later though.
I appreciate the kind words.
I am almost there. I am hoping myself that all goes as planned. If so, I think this should make me feel much better about the look of the helmet face on the Mark7.

Where did you pick up the entire helmet? I can only find the faceplate on Ebay.

Alright, here it is almost done. I am going to do a final fine sanding, and then a clear coat.

Bravo Cyber! Funny how a bit of Epoxy putty can fix such a problem yet Hot Toys gives the faceplate the green light to go into production without doing anything.

which primer did you go with or none? looks way better than HT's

Great work Cyber

 

[Cyberseven]

Thanks for the props everyone. I am pretty happy with it. Just one last refinement, and then I can just stress out waiting for my Mark7 to get here to try it on.
I tested primers and decided no primer was the way to go. Primers tended to give the gold a bronze tone. It wasnt bad, but I just liked it better straight gold over the red plastic. I noticed when I sanded the stock piece when I 1st started that HT didnt use primer.

I still have to do the lens mod and some black outline small detail stuff.

 

[hokietwo]

So nice. If pressed to guess what percent would you say was added to the stock eyes? It looks like you added at least 25% or more. Maybe 1/3rd?

Did such a good job I cannot even remotely see any old lines.

How did you get the lens out?

 

[rallyking555]

does the mk 7 faceplate fit the mk 6 stark in helmet head?

 

[hokietwo]

It may be about 1/3 added material to the eyes just looking at Ed's photo.

 

[Takaboi]

lol huge difference. Most likely HT will change the faceplate in the future mark VII exclusives or diecasts

GREAT JOB on the custom

Thanks again man.

Yep. It is about 25-30% smaller eyes. I will snap a shot from the inside of the mask before I paint the added epoxy area black on the back side of the eye mod.

It's a little sketchy, but fortunately its not glued in. I used the tip of a small eye glass es flat head screwdriver to pry it out from the edges that are on the inside of the cheeks of the mask.
