Damn. Sounds like you have everything planned out already.
For my 1st project I'm making a Daft Punk Guy Helmet. I'm in the process of getting it molded by Nintendude who's a member here on 405th.
After I receive it from him, I'm gonna need to buy Polyurethane plastic or w/e its called, make some casts and then continue on from there.
If I ever finish this helmet, I think I'm gonna make a Recon Helmet.
