How’s she looking? Just got the helmet done.

This is a WTF kit and my first Scout helmet. This one was a doozy. Thoughts, comments?

Hi Logan, of all the available helmets, the WTF is probably the most difficult to assemble, so congrats on completing the build!

One tip -- I would try and clean up a few uneven spots on the helmet with a file or emory board. Mostly around the visor and top of the eyeslot. See where I've marked in green.

Thanks a ton for this! I was worried about trimming the visor lip too thin but now that It is painted and weathered, it is easier to see where I need to shave off a little.

I used an extra large "emery board" for nails to do my finish smoothing.  The long wide board helps fair out the abnormalities in the edge.  Its also more forgiving than a dremel.
