Looking good

Patience is definitely key. That's one buffed-up helmet you created. :cool

This is awesome! I am a fan sir.

ErMaC · Feb 10, 2015

thanks you guys. we all do fantastic armor

I strongly believe this is the right shade of blue for my armor. The painted helmet is unfinished and I don't plan on keeping it.

ErMaC · Feb 16, 2015

The progress of the helmet is speeding up a little bit. A few complications here and there, But the outcome is badass

just went through this topic, progress looks very good

I do a lot of this at work while wearing a black suit. I wish those buckets were mine. its a perfect height to work on it

The next thing to do is fill in the gaps between the visor and the helmet with Smooth-On Epoxy Putty

Looking awesome! A lot of time and patience required for this project! Something i rarely have! XD

T placed Smooth-On Epoxy Putty around the trim and now the visor is 100% flush with the Helmet

ErMaC · Feb 17, 2015

This helmet was not sanded, bondo or smoothed out in any way. Just wanted to see what one of my helmets would look like with paint on it

ErMaC · Feb 21, 2015

I have installed the visor and I gave this helmet away for free to a 405th member on the facebook version of the 405th.com I wanted to share the items that I don't plan on using for my armor. I have given away items for free before and I will continue to do so. This helmet was not sanded or smoothed out in any way. My compassion for this hobby is unconditional, and it feels good to share.

ErMaC · Feb 21, 2015

The plastic on the visor has been removed and the helmet is looking seriously awesome. I still need to clean the gold iridium visor.

ErMaC · Feb 21, 2015

I got everything sanded and cleaned up with paint thinner. Time to move on to the mouth area.

Have you considered using any thin foam or rubber padding to cushion your visor against the bondo? It might help preserve it against potential scratches.

This I a very thin strip of foam with a sticky surface. Im going to put a little dust on the one of the sides to its not to sticky for the helmet

Why not simply superglue some thin craft foam down? That would do the trick.

Either way, good to see you thinking ahead. Nice work.

I will be attempting to get rid of my other threads. That being said I will be posting my jetpack updates in here now.

That is what I should have done. But I bought this for the double visor I will be making, and I thought I could use it for the trim aswell

Apparently I haven't looked at this thread since November?! Looks like this is a similarly ambitious build to mine, with a similar detail level and build time! Love the results, though I'm slightly confused... What happened to the moulding and casting part?
