Building Bavmorda\u2019s Crown<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This was my first time using Worbla. It’s incredibly expense to buy in the US, so it’s hard to justify the spend. However, I have a few sample packs I purchased of the different versions of the thermoplastic — as well as some other brands. I ended up using the sandwich method, with a layer of 2mm foam in the middle. It worked out well, but Worbla’s Finest Art is a bit grainy and textured. I worked in sections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sculpted Bavmorda\u2019s Crown<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

At this point, the details were pretty much finished. The points were also sandwiched Worbla and 2mm EVA Foam, and then twisted into shape and then mirrored on the opposite fin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I originally planned to make the crown adjustable, but in the end I added D-rings to the front (behind the center piece) and to the center of the back where these 2 strips meet. I installed an nylon strap with a cam buckle so it could be adjusted to rest comfortably on the head without falling down. I tried to smooth out the gaps the best I could and then the whole thing got coated in layers of gesso. I also embedded in some metal wire loops inside to attach the fabric to (I can’t recall what kind of metal it was).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Painting Bavmorda\u2019s Crown<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

It started with a layer of black primer and then finished with acrylic paint and a clear coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bavmorda\u2019s Crown, Completed.<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Post-assembly photo. I doubled over a black linen scarf and hand sewed it into the 3 anchor points inside the crown. I believe I also stitched it (at least the bottom layer of linen) to the nylon webbing to keep it in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
