Ok so some quick update photos. As i said earlier.. i think, the white stuff is sheet-rock puddy ive been using to fill in holes and etc; stuff goes on and sands with ease. Jst need to do a little more sanding befor i prime it.

A problem thats been stalling me is the left cheek guard cracked and went loss so ive been trying to patch it up but been failing but finally i dug a small trench in the inside of the left cheek and incerted a small peice of metal, then covered it in stove cement, i dont think ill be having any more problems with it lol.

I have to say, i know there was a picture guide to this, but as this is the first time ive done anything like this, im amazed how nice this is coming out. :hyper:

lookin good, but i wouldn't make it too smooth, or you are not gonna get that authentic rustic look and it will be harder to weather a smooth helmet.
but if that is what you want then go for it.

weatherong a smooth helmet isnt that hard

Well today I need my little puddying and sanding then I primed and then added my copper, later ill need to go out and get gold and black. so here are some photos of the UNFINSHED helmet. :mrgreen: And some side by side with my Link4044 Helm.

You should try a little weathering on the 300 spartan helmet. Maybe after you paint it the colors you're suggesting, you could try a black wash over it and a little dry brushing..

Looks great though, keep up the good work!

Funny you say that Sean, just bought some black paint :hyper:

Both of them look amazing! What did you use for the Halo helmet's visor? Is it glass?

So I finsihed my helmet and did my little black dark coat on it. Contrast to the photos, the helmet is better looking in person and a little darker. Im already on to considering making a new one, to fix a few things. Sorry i didnt show the padding but tis nothing fancy.
