shredder helmet

[Emmseneki]

hi everyone , this is my other account since i cant post anything with my other ( charlie 117 ) dont know why.. but i was wondering how can i fix my shredder helmet that is all wide open. i didnt have anything to hold it in the right place so when the resin cured it stayed that way so it looks weird... i dont mind pepping it again since it was very fast and easy but i want to try and fix it since ive seen builders fix warping, bumps, holes , etc. here are some pics of the pep stage to resin since i already post it on my other account but decided to start over a new thread. that blue stuff is the hardner for the bondo lol, yes i have a difrent brand since in my country like i said is very dificult to find thes types of materials so i did a 2 hour drive of supplies and this is what i got so far. also a huge huge huuuuuuuuuuuge thanks to mr cereal killer. ive been following hes videos and there a huge help.

i got bondo, resin , bondo hardner , resin hardner , respirator, disposable brushes, needle files , black and decker mouse sander with 80 grit sand paper and 120 grit , primer paint can , metal mesh for shredders cheeks and mouth parts, bondo squigees thingys , a couple of sticks to mix the resin or bondo , a plate in where i can mix the bondo so i dont use any other surfaces that might be damaged or ruined by the bondo, tools cage so i can stock up everything there and dont make a mess and a spray grip so it can be easy to use the spray can so i dont get my finger tired lol. all a total of 200 dollars so as you can see i am dead series and my wife told me to go for a fiberglass helmet since its much detailed, awesome and epic. so yeah you guys. here are some shredder pics

sorry that is not a halo helmet , i want to practice with easy peps before i get to a complicated halo helmet and beleive me i love halo but i dont want to wasted my materials because it was alot of money involved and because it was a long drive to get them lol ( 2 hours )

so lets take some baby steps before i go in deep with the sharks ok?

here is how it all looks but the spikes are not glued , there youst placed there since this prop is a 3 individual piece . 1 the mask , 2 the spikes and 3 the helmet. the mask has a clip with velcro on it so thats how i managed to leave it on. so here is resined and bondoed.

this is how it is right now all wide open since i didnt have anything to hold it up tight so when the resin cured it would stay tight and neat. that blue stuff is the rondo that spilled over no biggie

this is how i want it too look like , close to my face so my ears arent visible

youst some side views

almost forgot i also got some razors youst like cereal killer uses and heres a pic of my arsenal on how dead serious i am about making props haha

Nice work so far. I like seeing different builds on the forum. Here's a little tip to help you get that helmet to fit closer to your head. Heat the helmet up with a heat gun, squeeze it just past the shape you want it to be(because it will flex out a little once you let go) , hold it in that shape until it's cool. You should have it fitting much better than it was before. Best of luck to you!
