Ichabod: The Beak

I have built the beak with the same sort of relief decoration as the eyepieces.

This is the beak in progress with the lasered relief applique in the background.


Here is the final cast beak, showing both the side and bottom view, in cold cast aluminum.


And here is the beak on the plasticene sculpt, giving an approximatation of the final mask.

Ichabod: The Finished Eyepiece

After staring at the eyepiece prototype for a few hours I have decided that the foam relief is too pronounced, so I've replaced it with a much thinner material.

The new prototype is on the left, the cold cast aluminum part just out of the mold is in the middle, and the polished eyepiece is on the right. The cold cast is a dull gray until it is sanded to reveal the metal powder and polished. Next I will move on to the sculpting of the mask in clay.
