This is the sketch that Aveloc and I finally agreed on, after a
fair amount of back and forth.... |
|
... and this is the pattern, derived from the sketch and from meausurements
of the original helm we'll be retrofitting. |
|
The stainless steel blank, cut out and somewhat sunken to approximate
a face shape. |
|
The overall nose/upper lip area has been further sunken, and hit
with a torch to normalize the steel. |
|
Things are pushed out a little farther here, to give me enough material
to raise. |
|
Which is what happened here. The rough shape of the nose has been
worked over a stake, pushing all of the material that's not nose shaped
(and/or upper lip shaped) back down into the face. |
|
Having realized that the face in profile looks really silly, I've
started to push out the chin after heating and normalizing the area
first. |
|
The bridge of the nose has been further refined over a stake, and
the lips are roughed out from the back. |
