You're on the right track, maybe another more detailed coat of paint would do you good. And some more detailing.

Good luck!

one question for you, when you say "detailing" you mean paint detailing, correct?

A little bit of that and a little bit of well, details.

For example, look at the middle going down (just below the port hole is). In the pic it has more of a 3-D look, as if it's actually plating to keep the armour together. Yours kind of just blends in with the rest of the suit. Not trying to knock your project though man! Just something to consider.

ah i get what your saying, but of course, all that could be fixed before its finished, as long as everything is symetrical and even, then the rest can be fixed. also, i could fill it in with something to make it look sort of 3D. what do you think?

I was think you could just keep it simple and add some cardboard. Then resin it and add the bondo, it'll look great.

 

[thebioshockguy1]

you mean like run a peice of cardboard down the middle line and then resin and bondo it?

Maybe two beside each other, thats what it looks like in the picture.

well of course i could always use the dremel afterwards and make it look like two peices. and i think im gonna try that. two questions, how thick should the cardboard be and do you think this will hurt the helmet?

 

[thebioshockguy1]

wait i think ive got an idea! eva foam with posterboard over it, that will it will be thick and resin and bondo easy!

Now thats thinking with your head spartan!

You might want to wait until others contribute before doing this. I could be completely wrong who knows.

or i could test it out on something else before i do it. and even though ive painted it, i dont think it will hurt to work on it more then paint it again.

Add some pics dude!

 

[thebioshockguy1]

i will! it just looks like it has a big white block on it right now though.

 

[hellome]

You should show some progress shots. We don't care if it looks like a big white block! We want to see!

 

[thebioshockguy1]

ok i will tonight, after i finish playing new vegas!

so here we are so far. the blue tape is so when i fiberglass it, the fiberglass doesnt spread to parts that already have enough fiberglass, and or dont need fiberglass leaking down them.
