MCC of Helmets

[SPARTAN A128]

Started the gluing process. Moving a bit slower to due my schedule. I hope to pick up the pace in the coming week!

Congrats on getting past the printing stage! I am sending my regards in advance as you move into the infamous sanding stage. Mark IV isn't as detailed as the newer sets, thankfully.

Mark IV was the first Halo helmet I printed (and is still probably my favorite). Since all of your history notes are based around Master Chief, I assume you're going to be going with the standard green paint scheme?

Also for the future helmets, you might look into Galactic Armory's files (paid Patreon subscription, but they also sell individual files on MyMiniFactory I think). My entire Mark IV set is from them and they also have a lot of the other mainline helmets. They package their files with the entire model, but also cut up in a couple of different ways for larger printers and also the Ender3-sized build plates.

Thank you very much. I will hopefully not die in the sanding process, but ya never know.

Yeah. I would love to do John's Mk IV base helmet, but since we don't know his base MK IV armor design, I settled on doing Jerome-092's helmet. So yeah green and red paint scheme.

That's good to know for the future! I will definitely look into their projects more especially when I can't find a good free file that I'm looking for. I did buy their Star Wars Clone Wars ARC trooper Phase 1.5 animated style helmet, but I still haven't printed it yet.

More progress! I started to use Loctite Super Glue Gel Control for the base gluing and JB Weld Plastic Bonder for a secondary coat, thanks to the expertise from the guys over in the 3D printing thread of the discord.
