NZ_TK, I'm not at all one to belittle someone's constructive criticism, as a matter of fact, i thrive on it. pushes me to do better, and being as knowledgeable as you are, it would be welcome! Thanks again. :not worthy:NZ-TK said:Nah, the older version's mesh isn't really that nice, the reason I re-released it, is because I wasn't happy with the shape around the bottom of the original, So I remodelled it becuase I intend to make the helmet myself at some stage.

I must say, you're doing a great job on that so far. I would offer you some polite suggestions but, looking at your work, its obvious you know what you're up to. Cant wait to see it all done
Forgive me if this is unwanted but, I would suggest you fill it, and do it with the end of a square tipped bastard file, you can get a perfect even depth and width, then attack the edge of the etch line with your medium grit sponge, you'll get a perfectly curved bevel on the edge. Just get the cheapest one you can find, I think I paid about $3 for mine, its rubbish but it only gets used on bondo, so it lasts.
Phenomenal. I'm just really unhappy with that groove, so i will definitely try this. It's rather difficult doing it with my dremel. Had to tape the hell out of it and the design was still off center and the depth was not uniform. Now, since i primed it, I assume i'd need to sand that area well before refilling the groove? And this file i assume can be bought from your local Home Depot or hardware store? And yes, I have considered your other suggestions...just scared that once i get it apart, I woun't be able to put it back together successfully.NZ-TK said:Forgive me if this is unwanted but, I would suggest you fill it, and do it with the end of a square tipped bastard file, you can get a perfect even depth and width, then attack the edge of the etch line with your medium grit sponge, you'll get a perfectly curved bevel on the edge.

Edit; this is a picture of what I mean, you use the tip

No prob. I didn't even understand the comment and I'm laid back enough to not take notice if it were to be a rude comment. Perhaps I am just not hip enough. No need to explain, cause I'd rather not get pissy if it comes to some sort of insult (which it appears to sound thus)NZ-TK said:

ouch. That had to be VERY disappointing. Perhaps that's why I do not currently have pets. Heh. Thank you!Spartan 061 said:

Done and done. Well, not really done sanding, but everything else is pretty much there. Now for those details. If only I wasn't working. Not that I could be working too hard, if I'm on here. Heh. Thanks, though!Rivalmage said:
