Looks good, though I worry somewhat that you've made too big a batch of bondo at once, and rushed to get it all on, since you've put an awful lot on the nose area and obscured the finer detail there.

U use a door shim as an applicator?

I thought he was using unseparated chopsticks.

Whatever works though.

I made small amounts of bondo just muffed it up on the nose I am going to sand it down sunday hope get it at least get sanded and primered. I used a credit card for a spreader.but I did use two stir sticks as a sanding block for some of the edges still tons of sanding.... also bondo job was a little hard do to it is like 35 degrees out in my garage.

I did add too much to the nose but I was trying too get a good curve... but I have sanders so can get it knock down to a workable amount fairly easy...thanks for the comment tho.

Bad idea - apply your bondo in small amounts. It's easier to work with and you won't lose sight of the clean lines you had in your Pep work - and then chew through those lines in an effort to find them again. Plus, it's a lot cheaper and you're not wasting the time, bondo and sandpaper on digging the excess away to get those lines back; the idea is to build your bondo up in thin, easily-managed layers instead of 'sculpting' with it and sanding down to the level you need.

Looks like you've got a bad case of spam. Go take a shower and use plenty of anti-bacterial soap. That usually helps.

 

[methadome666]

Woo spam lol... but I well have an update tomarrow hope to get helmet in prepaint condition and a good start on the torso....thanks for the comments and continuous interest in my projects guys. Also feel free to post over in my halloween spirt tread pumpkin carvings and costumes.

 

[methadome666]

UPDATE PICS. helmet nearing final paint should be painted tomorrow and then will be starting on the torso.
Just an fyi this is just primer, the finished helmet will be a matte olive. Still sanding and wetsanding to be done. With a little bit of spot puddy to.

You know if you have time you should make your sons stroller look like a warthog! Thtd b awesome

 

[methadome666]

That would amazing!!!! Or maybe a wrath!!! Idoubt I will have time as Halloween is like a week away... maybe by the time we going to the con this summer.

 

[Chainsaw ninja]

Eva foam would probably b the best route and since it's not really proportionate you wouldn't have to worry about it lookin spot on

 

[methadome666]

Right. It would be pretty sick having a 30 ich spartan rolling in a wrath or hog... man a ghost would be pretty proportional at that size tho. I might try it now.. I am pretty geeked about it. Thanks for the idea.

 

[Chainsaw ninja]

No prob I'd probably do the same haha maybe even have some speakers play on white and nerdy out a the hog XD

 

[methadome666]

Heck yeah that would be so boss... can all ready see it in my head.
