Did I miss the vote! I was going to be different and say number 1 just because of the simplicity allows for easier customization and modification.... But I know the vote went the other way



The WIP photos are great for a second there I thought you were doing it all by yourself... and I was like how did he take his own pictures? lol

I always love custom builds when they're done right and you sir, ALWAYS do it right can't wait to see how the helmet turns out.

It's getting there man, just keep it up! I like how

Hey Man

That is looking awesome.

only suggestion I could give is:



You might want to raise it up a bit with a few more layers of clay before adding the detail. Its thin. It's too close to the cast of your head and might not fit when casted



I learned that the hard way on my first helmet. Live and learn I guess.



You'll need some space in there for hinges and other gizmos too.



hope this makes sense

All I have to say is, that was so freaking dangerous when you got the cast cut off of your head, but I'm sure that you've done it a lot, so no worries.



You are very talented, and I look forward to seeing your work progress.

The base looks good but I have to say, whoa that was dangerous. You really could get hurt doing it that way. Next time simply bandage only the front half then let it harden. Put some Vaseline on the edge then do the back half. This way you can get out without the power tools on your head. It is a good use of the concept though, it is the first time I have seen someone use the outside of the life cast mold as the work surface. Most of the time people do what you did then fill the shell with ultra-cal and have a stone life cast. For this project what you did works great and cuts down on the time to get your base. Nice job. It's like a plaster duct tape dummy.
