Wait a minute, this shouldn't be in the noobie-land. It's too beautiful

Well I didn't get any air bubbles until I started the Rondo method adding the detail layer. The strip along the lower rear of the helm is full of them and will require a lot of spot putty. Other than that I work the scratch out moving from one area to another.
Also I am working with 100 grit sandpaper and not 60 to smooth out. 60 is nice to get the surface down quick but leaves a mess behind.

Makes me want to salvage my Cqb. and other random helmets I haven't finished
Nice job so far.
EDIT : And if I had to throw out a guess at what the white stuff on the helmet is, i'd guess styrene. If it is, what thickness are you using?

Thanks for the comment..
Now I just have to wait for xmas so I get my two weeks off from work so I can put some real time into the helm...

Pretty sweet helmet you got goin' there Daflea.
Is the visor going to be flat or is it going to be a dual visor like in the game.

I will probably go with a dual layer... I'm still a bit away from that point but that's the game plan for now..
Thanks for the comment..

I put two hours into it today so not worth posting any images....
I do have a request for fellow armor builders... I am looking for better reference pictures of the CQB. I have to images located at the Wiki, but there missing the clarity of detail I am looking for...

Thanks for the pics but they don't show the detail I'm looking for..
Th Do-hickies have a slice out of the lower round area that I would like to see better. Also the rear area with the vents create some interest for me on how the vents are formed.

Take a looksie at Sigma-LS's CQB build thread and Flying_Squirl's CQB thread, Sigma tells a breif summary on how he did the do-hickies, and FS shows the vents really well.Daflea said:
