Really nice build on the helmet. Iam excited for the upcoming progress. but i really have to ask a a question.
i wanted to use the halo 4 recon helmet by monkeyfuj too, but i have a really big problem with the flat forehead near the top side of the visor. how did you managed this problem? ignoring it? the final helmet doesnt look exactly like the pepakura process pics.
can you describe was you did?
edit:
here are two pictures of your build.

the installed visior looks normal and but the pep version does have a flat visior and the the forehead is flat too... i want to get the forehead (not only the visior) a little more curvy and in my opinion you managed this.
Here is another picture of the 3D render of the original 343 recon helmet:

OMG! That recon helmet is gorgeous!!! Absolutely stunning!!!
This is awesome. For my next build I intend to use bondo and fiberglass method and go mental on the detail like your helmet. keep up the brilliant work. Ill continue to watch this!
oh my god... that is the SICKEST helmet I've seen to date.
very nice work, i hope ours comes out that nice
Dat Helmet. Its so amazing!!! Cant wait for more!
This amazing, you're doing a good job with the torso of Master Chief
redesign a 3d model, pepakura, and then view it in construction by someone, it's amazing!!

i have been following your thread since you started and i must say that you are doing a great job man! I am happy to see monkeyfuj's excellent model that i unfolded came out so well. i remember unfolding that and thinkin wow, this is a tough project to unfold. now that i look at it, crimssons didact unfold was WAY harder than this one.
love your attention to detail, keep it up. that is a trait that most builders don't have. that is what will send you to infantry status in this build.
i will be following your thread to the end my fellow prop builder.

That torso is shaping up to reeeeally look like metal - even without paint yet and clearly in progress, I can't believe the sharp details! This is going to be one epic final product in the end.
The helmet said so. ^___^
Thanks, I say the same about yours as well
Now looking back at the latest pics of me wearing the helm and unfinished torso I'm kind of worried that the scaling of the helmet is a little large, I want to avoid looking like "big head mode" at all costs. I'm hoping that when I do the rest of the parts this effect will be reduced. What you do guys think?
Holy crap!!!!! How did you get it to look so good! How many things of bondo have you gone through?

Its not the bondo, its the glazing putty,
How much of that have you gone through.
