Helmet build

[Treborrabnud]

I have now with some help from Tony Velda finally got the helmet ready for painting (I hope).

looking good ... congrats!

 

a couple questions and some tips...

 

what type of helmet is it?

 

do you have anymore pics? sides, rear, top, ect.

 

some tips // constructive criticism:

spend a few minutes sanding on the eyes around the top and bottom right curve, make them abit more symmetrical ... and the around the bridge of the nose in the eyes .. even up the top eye corners too(one is rounded and the other is squared off)

as well, sand the left visor vertical(looks a little wavy) and the edges of the bottom of the visors to get rid of the flare there.

 

 

looking forward to seeing it finished!

 

good luck and keep us posted!!

It's one of Chefs kits, have done some more sanding as pointed out and once again the filler I had to put in as cracked. This is really pissing me off now as I am just getting to where I feel I can get the paint on it and I'm back to square one!!!!!!

Oh well more filling and sanding I suppose.

what filler are you using?

[Treborrabnud]

I've used all sorts, P38 plastic metal you name it I've used it. I have though finally cracked it by using just the glass fibre resin. Seems to have worked.

I've used every filler under the Sun on this helmet. I've now gone on to a fine plastic filler and I am in the process of sanding it down to its final state.
