Nice helmet, my friend! Before you resin, however, make sure the top of the head is alright to you; it looks like there are some gaps. You could use popsicle sticks to support it (I personally would, as it looks like it would warp easily). Or is it just overlaps between the pieces? If that's the case, no extra support should be needed.

 

[zohaibk]

yea at the top its just overlap in pieces but before i resined i fixed it to look normal

alright ive finished resining and fiberglassing an am now going to move on to doing the bondo work

Nice work!

I think that your project will improve and become a great work! I'm going to follow your posts and see what will happen. Big up! ;-)

Check out my project. Do u have any suggestions? http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/37248-Vico-s-first-Halo-Reach-Commando-Helmet

does anyone know how i can achieve the effect that the arrows are pointing to

 

[SergantTinkers]

You could try to make wooden strips, and attach those. Plastic or metal could also achieve this look. I wouldn't recommend using bondo-sanding, however, as it may be too brittle.

 

[Carpathia]

Agreed, wooden, plastic, metal or you could use mat board. Bass wood or Balsa wood would be your best bet.

thanks for the advice i think im going to make wooden strips since it seems the easiest.

i got some bondo work done today

 

[zohaibk]

hey does anyone know where i can find a cheap gallon of resin? i ran out the other day and need more for a project that i am going to start after the jfo build is complete

 

[zohaibk]

so here is what i have done so far

as you can see i added the little vent things to the helmet

also does anyone know where i can get a silver or gold visor that will fit this helmet

Vents turned out very nice. Glad to see yet another member undertake the best-looking helmet in Reach and look forward to seeing your own take on it. Keep up the great work!
