Thanks bobbio. This helmet is just a test run, as it is my first attempt at resin/bondo/rondo. I will probably use Rookies color scheme for this one, dark gray and a light gray stripe. I will then make another, more serious one, with an entire outfit to go with it. I will use the Mickey color scheme on that one. Crimson and gray.
I just checked out your WIP and I have to say bravo sir. Yours is coming along nicely. Your doing the CQC like I'm planning to do. Keep up the good work, and I think the only advice I can give is sand, sand, sand.

Thank you everyone for the encouragement, I just wish I had more time to work on it. I have started applying the body filler, but the temperature here has been fluctuating between 60 and 65 degrees, so not ideal weather for this. Anyway, here is a pick with the start of the body filler, and I have also posted a sketch of what I hope my suit will look like when complete. I will Photoshop the pic when it is all inked. Thanks again for the awesome posts and keep checking back, I will have more updates soon.

Thanks Vinyl_Hero. And I forgot to point out that the sketch is not done by me, but rather a friend of mine, Neil Bergman. I like the way he draws futuristic armor. I am just inking it and then I will be adding color and effects in Photoshop eventually.

Thought I'd come return the compliments Looking really good man, bondo is coming out nicely. I DO have one complaint though. You should be drinking Guinness, not Killians. That is all. Great work so far

lol, thank you for the compliments. I would have been wearing a Guinness, but my only shirt met it's demise at the jaws of our dogs.

Sorry I have not posted any pics lately, I have been busy and the sanding has been tedious, but I bought myself a Black & Decker Mouse today, so I will have new pics up soon.
You will find this to be the greatest investment ever. Also liking the build, keep it up.

Thanks for all the encouragement, it means a lot.
@ Steveperv That is exactly what I plan on doing. WalMart sells the EVA floor mats, 6 for $20. They are 1/2 inch, but I think I can make that work.
@ GeneShogo Thanks man, I would be more than happy to swing by and help you get started.

1/2 is perfect, just make sure you have a metal ruler or guide line to cut with. Use a adjustable box cutter.
