Of course you go mentioned man, you did a ton of work making that model awesome!
UPDATE** Well I couldn't sleep this morning and I figured I'd do another greeblie test. I still haven't gutted the "lamp" so it looks a bit bigger than it will with the lens in it. Smoothing is coming along nicely, just got to finish the bar on the lower back and it'll be ready for detailing. Added most of the final details on the front as well. The hoses are proving to be royal pain but I think I got a good solution.
Hope you guys like it!

Wow your progress is looking great, can't wait to see it when you got the light done and have the hoses put in.
Keep up the good work!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks guys. It should be finished probably the first week of Feb. It's going to take a week before the place with the main hoses will take my order. :rolleyes
In the meantime I think I'll try to get everything else finished on it and tweak the paint scheme until it's just right. Also found a neat little light sensor I'm going to attach for the head lamp so it automatically comes on in low light..
pooper- I'm using a homemade type of filler with plaster instead of styrene and a hard rubber instead of a resin. It has a wet consistency about like pudding and sands a hell of a lot easier than bondo. Plus it flexes a little after it's dried so no cracking.

No, it's closer to the method I described in my Extra Tricks stickie. But it's a little more refined this time around.
UPDATE: Got another opinion Q for you guys. I randomly found a part very close to 100% accurate for the middle vents. Still not sure if I want to change it out or keep the old ones. Either way I'm keeping the screening material from the new ones for the vent openings. So let me know, choice A or B.
So I got the smaller tubes test fitted and the custom back-mounts completed and took a couple shots of the back for once. It still needs more work.
Also did a half-assed quick paint job of the front to see if it was the right colors I wanted. I'm pretty happy with it. But let me know what you think.

I voted for the Roller Bearings due to i fine them more appealing to my eye because i find the other caps to small for such a large heavy helm. But if the debate is over screen accuracy i would to go with the Roster Strainers but i think there still missing the out edge that sticks above the vent holes for the fallout 2 look but that lip can be easly fix by like a pvc pipe cute to just abvove the strainers
