Nice job so far can't wait to see more work from you. And I know what you mean about not wanting to be another Master Chief. Good luck on the rest of your build.

I still need to install the lights and fan(s), but i got padding in it already, It can come out easy, but now its on to the chest piece.

Really nice Your pep work looks really clean. Just 1 question, Did you use fiberglass or another method for the inside of the helmet?

I heard a way to strengthen it to make it almost indestructible. Another member on the site, Katsu, had told me to do it like this, from outside in:
Bondo-->resin-->Pepakura/cardstock<--Resin(optional)<--rondo<--fiberglass<--fiberglass<--rondo<--your head
