Starting my ODST build

[chaos cre8ions]

Sorry that I went dark, I got sick and had to head to Missouri Paracon this last weekend. I’ve attach the MKII top half of the helmet. The green glows

I might have a glowing addiction!

Now to finish my buck

 

[SPARTAN A128]

That would be really cool to watch print in the dark

How far down do I sand the bucks?

The smoother the buck, the smoother the visor. Imperfections like ridges, bumps, etc. will come through in the visor and cause a distortion in vision. Due to the concave shape of the visor its a little bit like looking through a fish bowl. So ideally the smoother you can make it, the better your vision through the visor will be.

In my experience a step down approach to sanding would be 120, 220, 400, 600(wet). If you want a SUPER clean visor a final wet sand with 1000. YMMV.
