Hi everyone! New to the forums but not the tokusatsu genre! Been madly in love with Kamen Rider and Super Sentai and ever since growing up with Saban's adaptation as a kid. I am first and foremost an illustrator, but have found my true love is in sculpture and hand-made hard-surface props.

So I'd really like to start getting my hard-surface prop-making and costume design aspirations off the ground and want to start with replicating my favorite Sentai Villain: Cheif of Staff, Damaras.

I figured Yasushi Nirasawa Zangyack Works : LOG would have at least some early design work of Damaras in it, but it turns out it has everyone's concept work BUT Damaras in it. Still an amazing book to grab for Nirasawa fans, but was so sad Damaras wasnt displayed at all

I have enough HQ references of 360 views of his helmet and torso, but there are very few full-body HQ scans/images of Damaras online (that are not 200 pixels tall *sad*). I'd very much would like to get my hands on more HQ images of his boots and lower cape drapings in the front and back, and also a few of his shortsword.

I'm going to go the full ten miles and beyond on this project, more than likely to spend a few grand on materials if worbla/craft foam isn't going to have the consistency I want for the armor. I will more than likely end up sculpting and casting the helmet (and potentially the mantle) If I feel the aesthetic is cleaner/more authentic.

If anyone can help me find some more HQ images of this glorious chief of staff, I'd very much appreciate it! If you also know a thing or two about helmet LEDs and articulation (mainly jaw movement), I'd appreciate that help as well!

Thanks!
