Need some help guys, when I came home from work and had another look at the helmet... I'm suddenly not convinced anymore.
I need your input here again, since it's only sculpted on, not glued (I can use force on him if necessary, and not harm him too bad...)

Elbows fine... for me the helmet not so sure. Personally I like the hairdo! I think the guy has a lot more 'character' bare headed. Sorry! :(

Helmet came off easily, and I can put it back on and off as I please... wasn't quite expecting that :P

Great looking rework - I'm now looking at my skinny old troll and wondering what I could do!

I liked the helmet overall, but think it would have really been great with a face guard - that may have balanced out the look

I think it's where it curves up over his eye that's troublesome. Overall I really like the helmet and completes the look if you can even out that bar with the rivets.

Exactly what I did with my Troll, Stinga. He's got a goblins painty handprint from being slapped on the bum too!

I love this forum!

@burgun824: You good sir, are spot on. The curved metal there makes it look like it's made out of.. well, GS.

I removed the riveted ring and the side flaps and added fatter "metal" to the sides, capable of supporting a faceguard, and made a new ring, straight this time, wich really lifted the whole helmet idea. The "top" is still the same, so it will still be an... um, interactive helmet sort of deal :)

Now THAT is a brilliant idea! Very clever sir, I award you two e-props.

Anyway, if you'd like to make the helmet a permanent addition, id test out the face mask idea to see if that doesn't balance it a bit more. Conversely, it could be an overcomplication. Worth looking into.
