I'd like to see this finished as well as 051's. Both of them are off to good starts and would give everyone options.
 
Agreed Ral', bad form to knock anothers work buddy. You too Abgates. :cautious:

I'm sure you'd be upset if someone posted now how bad your helmet is doing. Mistakes can be tweaked, inaccuarcies can be remedied. He's been open about it being his first attempt. The busa as I'm sure you now know can be tricky at best so for a first attempt, I think his work is top notch! He's competing against lacking experience, poor reference material(perspective distortion) and a lack of something to base his model off of such as another model.

The guy deserves credit.

As for me doing the turret, I'm not. It ws an idea a month ago, I've gave no more thought since. Go ahead.

Let's try to be a little more supportive now eh? ;)

Thats what I said. I said its not the most accurate, but its still good for his first attempt. I said how he would eventually be one of the modelers helping the community like nugget, FS, Robo, you, and everyone else. I wasn't trying to knock him. If it sounded like that Im very sorry.

Really, if you think about it. All three of the 'busa helmets are going to be inaccurate. It's not like we have offical blueprints to model from or anything. We're all just doing what we can.

Anyway, moving on. ;)
 
Thanks alot, Im working on it as we speak and I think I might already have it done tonight. But like I said I still have to unfold it after that. But I think I should have the final thing posted tommorrow. OH YEAH! NZ-TK - what did you scale the size of your helmet to?

I don't think its going to actually be that hard. Most of the geometry can be made up of large polys, and there are only a couple sections that have alot of detail on them.

Yeah, but what about HD perms? :lol:

This 'busa helmet is looking great. Keep this up and the final model will be pretty amazing.

051, has a great helmet! thatone that i cant wait to do for myself, yours is looking awsome too, just dont try to be competetive.
 
Cant wait for you to finish it. Personally I would remove the jaw details.. Theyre so small and insignificant.. I honestly cant see the point in them.. Looking good though.
