Mynock's Den
Prop art and model building by Taras Harkavyi
My Work
About Me
I’m Taras Harkavyi, the artist behind Mynock’s Den. From my workshop in Manitoba, Canada, I design and make sci-fi helmets and props. I also build and paint model kits for fun. I enjoy bringing imagined worlds into physical form and sharing some of the techniques, experiments, and lessons along the way.
![I made this helmet back in 2023 for a Star Wars fan film project “Nihilus.” The movie never materialized, so the helmet is now up for grabs [edit: sold].
Inner helmet dimensions are 22cm (8.66”) from ear to ear, and 22cm (8.66”) front to back (see photo in listing). The T-visor has a dark grey-blue tint. Inside, the helmet is fully lined and padded, with removable padding secured by Velcro for easy adjustment. Lights are made up of four steady glow LEDs in the ears, and one flickering LED for the rear key slot and are powered by a 9V battery (included).
For the paint job, I started with a stone texture spray base, then airbrushed the main colors using Tamiya acrylics. Weathering was done with a mix of materials, including Army Painter washes, Vallejo pigments, real rust, and rubbing alcohol.
(Please note that this helmet does not feature my usual MHAS magnetic ear recepticles, and so is not compatible with my MHAS accessories).
I also offer redesigned V2 “Recon” resin helmet casts in my shop.
Thanks for looking!
