The whole front mask, including the wings, is cast separate from the helm shell, as it was on the prop. That's probably how it will be done in production. It's poly, and thin, so it will be prone to breakage just like anything made in poly. We may do the mask part in semi rigid poly so it has a bit more flex and less breakable, but the fine detail does not cast as well.N2darkness wrote:That looks really good. Are the top 2 wings separate pieces? I'm curious as to how fragile this will be.
