thanks guys for all the positive feedback! As of right now i am fiber-glassing everything you see up there. The box attachment is going to be where i store the electronics like the battery compartment and led lights with the button. i would like to fully complete the helmet before i move on to the body which i might make out of foam and the plate will be fiberglass but i cant seem to find that eva foam in walmart.

Helmet looks great! i can never get this helmet to piece together evenly! how do you do it? every time i try it always ends up looking like shi*!

im assuming you used the files from hugh right? ok if so what i did was tape the sections together one at a time from the inside only. most people use clips, that works too. then once you form the helmet and the parts are all taped, i used my hot glue gun to glue the parts. i kinda separated them since i used tape then glued from the outside. you dont need alot of glue, just enough to hold it in place.

Due to Irene, i had no power for 3 days but luckily i printed before I lost it. All I have been up to has been cutting out the pieces. I will have more pics up soon of the parts I have completed. Funny how the hurricane motivated me to get back to work after my long brake.
