Darth Nihilus cat ears

Here's the link to Scott's piece (it's referred to as the crown).

I would highly recommend reading through the entirety of his build. It was an invaluable resource for making my Nihilus, I don't think I could have done it without the pics/tutorials that he and Pam posted there.

As DisposablHero mentioned, Scott's tutorial on how he made his Nihilus is wonderful! I did not have access to fiberglass however and had to make my hood differently. I used the top of a plastic bowler hat for the round shape, and then added the "cat ears" or "crown" with chicken wire coated with acrylic gel medium. You can see my build thread here: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2154

 

It's near the bottom of the first page where I show how I made my "cat ears".

 

There are many other methods that people have used to create theirs if you have the time to go through some of the build threads on the forums here. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

 

Cheers,

Nef

Thread is still there, not sure why the link broke.

 

Here it is again: http://www.theflagshipeclipse.com/forums/index.php?/topic/798-nefthys-wip-nihilus/

I would say that going back and doing this again, I would use Worbla instead of what I did. I didn't have access to Worbla back when I made my first Nihilus, so that was the best I could come up with at the time.
