Halo Reach Commando Helmet Build (Picture Heavy)

[BLACKULA727]

You need a coat of primer on that baby!

I'll try man, I came down with something today, so I feel terrible. I'm still going to try and complete this this week.

MAN!!!! Your helmet is turnin out BEAST! idk if you mentioned this or not so forgive me if you have, but are you planning on molding that sucka?

Thanks for the comment, Yes I will be. Hopefully I can figure it out. I have all the stuff. I just have never made a mold before. BTW, your Pilot came out pretty sweet too.

Thanks man, I appreciate the comment. I wouldn't go that far though, but I appreciate it. I'm just trying to do a decent job. I'm currently trying to fix all the little imperfections. I threw primer on it, and I have a lot of lines that need to be tightened up. So it doesn't look like a third grader built it. Thanks for viewing my thread!

Ahah okay ^^! I've a question about the imperfections: how do you delete (if I can tell this ^^) it? With some special Dremel tools?

PS: Now, you know that I'm fall in love with your helmet
I can't wait for the next update !

@Chrisrunner, Thanks my man. I'm currently going over the entire helm, to take care of anything before I mold. Had to update this post, Nice job on your ODST, you got skillz.

@Spartan Will-043, I am getting rid of imperfections by going over the entire helm with Auto Glaze (Evercoat Metal Glaze) and straightening out lines, filling minor indents and pin holes. I should have an update by the end of this week. I will try and mold this beast by next week provided I am satisfied with the helm. BTW, nice job so far on your noble 6 build. Can't wait to see it finished.

Thanks guys for visiting my thread. I would have responded earlier, but was at my daughters B-Day party. Keep on building guys!

It's cool man, I just thought you were trying to get your point across. lol. j/k Thank you!

It will, just take your time with it. You’re off to a great start!


Ok, here are another round of photos of the build. I know it doesn’t look like I did much, but I spent the better part of a day going all over it with metal glaze. I’m pretty happy with it so far. After primer though, I noticed a few areas which still need some touch up. Specifically the sides (ears). Here you go. Let me know what you think.

[BLACKULA727]

Thanks Guys! I appreciate all the wonderful comments. Since these photos, I have done some more cleaning up and retooling. I fixed the ears/sides (the indent area) to make it cleaner. I missed some detail lines around there too. So i will be putting those in as well. I hope to have this beast finished soon. Thanks again for the wonderful comments and thanks for continuing to watch this build.

Thanks Hush! I am pretty happy with the way its turning out. However, I just realized how much I hate the final detailing and cleaning process. I'm so Lazy. I can't wait till its finished. But at the same time, I don't want to rush it either and miss something. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching my thread.
