First (Fitting) Helmet!

My first thread on here I thought would be appropriate to show you guys my MK V Helmet! I just finished printing and am waiting to get primer for sanding and painting. I have also printed the forearms, and am currently looking at buying the files for the MK V chest piece on Do3D, in the hopes of making noble 6 but with battle damage, (Broken visor, plasma burns, Etc.)

Helmet looks pretty good! What will you be doing for the visor?
Noble 6 with battle damage will be a SICK suit! Best of luck on your build

Thank you so much! For the visor I plan to make a vac former not to unlike what you did in your video, and then use an exacto knife to cut the hole as seen at the end of the game. Right now I have a sheet of plexiglass and some really cool mirrored tint.

I've been dying to see someone do a broken visor forever. I can't wait to see what you can do!

Thank you! I haven't seen anyone do one either, (Other then props) and am excited to experiment!

Update (Sort of) I have been experimenting with the primer and different sandpapers, and seem to be getting pretty close. I picked up some bondo because it seemed to work in a lot of videos I've watched which seems to work well. I have also added the attachment on jorges helmet, and honestly it looks pretty good. I printed a visor to get a rough estimate (Vaccum forming will be figured out soon) and cut a hole and made it jaggedy and stuff and it its a good start I think.
