Hey 405th! Just wanted to say thank you all for the amazing stickys and everything! this is my very first helmet (other than a practice low quality mk. vi). I have just finished the resin and fiberglass stage and will be bondo-ing by the end of the week! I know its a little rough but im pretty proud of myself so far. Criticism and advice are always appreciated! Starting to pep the chest piece soon!

New Day!

Today I put primer on the helmet so i can see what parts are in need of sanding and bondo, used a flat square needle file to work out the visor opening! ill post pictures once it dries, again you guys are amazing for the tuts and tips! =D also printed out my pep for the chest piece! So excited!
 
Wow, that was an expensive visor too. I think people have had mixed results but at a substantially better price with this one:

Will bondo be coming to the helmet soon? I don't know if you intend to do this, but a popular technique is to take sandpaper on a sanding mouse and go over a primed surface. Any spots not sanded are lower than others, and that's where you fill with bondo.
 
=( sigh it was quite an expensive one. I'm hoping I can search the forum enough to find which one Cereal Killer used. This visor oordeal has be pretty bummed out.

Indeed I am going to be doing bondo soon just attempting to find good reference pictures to get the most accurate detail i can. As far as sanding goes, i do plan on going over the prime, I have 60 & 80 grit, which would you suggest using?
 
okay i got too things to say

1: nicely done.

2: your pic is of an anhto so are fur or not?
 
thank you fox!

im sorry i dont understand your second question =( come by me again? are you talking about the auto primer??
 
your avatar pic its an antho right so does that make you a fur or not, but then again you didn't understand it so your proably not one.

p.s. the helmet is the most importion part of the armor.
