TrintLord said:Very nice!
Some of the tabs seem to be on the outside, was that on purpose?
Do you plan to mold this or wear "as is"?
Shade said:20-25 hours in the work!!! Wow you work fast.
WetOkole said:Oh I am liking this!! The build looks so familiar in a way...(not talking about PEP) but I like where is it going.
Keep up the work and daily WIP is good eye candy for alot of peeps!!
Daflea said:It does look familiar for some reason... Oh well cant recall..
Anyway I cant commit to daily pics becasue I building some props for a presentation I have to give next week, but I will try to get some pics up every other day or so...

WetOkole said:What I was saying is that, I did the exact same thing by placing a layer of Bondo to smooth things out then started adding the details later.
As for the pics everyday, I just like to say that because sometimes WIP do take up some time and seeing ATLEAST something everyday was worth it...I remember when Sigma started out on his CQB...man it was a sight just to see it getting built, and he would update almost everyother day as well!!
Other than that it is looking great!!

Otherwise it will breakthrough in holes, and having to put on fiberglass patches is not fun.

Still fast. It took me 3 days to get my helmet Resined and Fiberglassesd alone. So yeah, still fast.
RadioactiV777 said:Just making sure. I don't like it when people make the same mistakes I do XD
Good job though, it's coming along great.
RadioactiV777 said:I remember on my first helmet, the first coat of resin took about 3 days to cure completely, it got rained on the firs hour it had resin brushed on, and it wasn't good. Make sure you put in enough hardener, actually, put in a little more than you think you need. Especially as it gets colder.
Never would have thought of baking the piece though.
