Looking good. What type of fibre glass did you use that made the helmet red (pic #2)?

Very nice build thus far just make sure to fill in those little holes before final sanding and paint

its a good idea to have a heat box... it controls heat etc... for better curing

Well done! I was concerned about the fibreglass "splash out" in picture 2 but it looks as if you have covered that nicely.
I understand the difficulties of working in cold temperatures, but I've cheated and spend the extra dollars for inside friendly materials.
However, I agree with a previous comment and a hot-box would likely help you a lot. Here's a thread on how to build one cheaply: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/29900-how-to-make-a-hotbox-for-30

Did you see the thing about the visor made of acetate sheet, the odst visor can be made out of only one sheet, and just add some window tint.
Igor....

Doesn't look to hard to do. There are some great tuts out on youtube showing you how to build a low cost vac form table. Im going to build one soon, when I attempt the ODST. Also, your helmet coming along great. Good luck on the rest of your build & welcome to the 405th!!

It looks about the correct size, with the rest of the armor on it will look perfect, the side shot is the best for scale, and be sure to get it on at the right angle. Kind of like how on the EVA/C , the back is way above the hairline, then theres alot of rubber stuff.

Hi Igor,
Great work so far. I think that the helmet looks like the right size based off of the side shots. Reason being that when you have the rest of the armor everything will even out.
The front picture of the helmet looks distorted, and I am pretty sure that is because of the focal length of the camera you are using. To get the best idea of how it looks I would have someone stand back a bit and take the photos of you wearing it.
