Looks good! I have seriously gotta get over my hesitation to bondo.... for some reason I just never find the right time to do it. how do you get the fine details with bondo?

Well there are a few things, it depends on what you are going to wear them with, but im not really sure yet where I am going to mount them. The main thing is they seem to warp fairly easily, when I rondoed them I think the weight pushed one side out farther than the other, so be careful with...

Hey congratulations! You should definitely try to get some pics up ASAP to show off the accomplishment! Are you going to do a suit or any more helmets? I noticed you go straight from pepped to primered, did you resin or fiberglass for strength and body filler the outside? Or is it just a...

So obviously I havent been as regularly updating as I should...... that can be thanks to that pesky real life that tends to get in the way. I've got a ton of stuff going on with school and other things right now, im still plugging away at peps and bondo, but itll be a few before I can get the...

WOW! That looks really good, nice model on the helmet, im sure you can smooth it back out with body filler! Any idea how you are gonna do the visor? That's definitely my favorite part of emile's setup.

Looks really good! Im thinking about doing certain parts in foam, so its good to see that people are getting really good results working with it!

yup, working on sanding off the shoulder that im practicing regular bondo on and next gonna re-attack that helmet, ill have more pictures soon! I'm also trying to figure out which reach forearm to pep!

Ahhhh good to know! Thanks, I didnt realize that.

This is the first helmet ive seen with all the numbers on the INSIDE of the helmet, im not sure, but you may have built it inside out..... which I suppose wouldnt be too huge of a problem, but might make some things complicated or a little off.

I agree, my brother who introduced me to this whole process suggested that I try rondoing the outside to save time, but just now told me that it isnt as easy as he thought, so im attempting just regular bondo on my shoulder pads, and hopefully ill be able to figure it out by the time I work my...

Wow cool! Looks like me and you are about in the same stage of creation, and both making almost exactly the same thing! Im doing a cqb with all reach parts and ODST shoulders, even our color scheme is almost the same, except I am khaki/yellow instead of steel...... Ill keep an eye on this for...

Just finished rondoing the inside of the rest of the shoulder pieces that I missed last time, and bondoing the outside of one of the shoulder pieces.... I REALLY need some practice with bondo/rondo on the outside. I rondoed a section of my helmet and it came out...... awkward. I will post pics...

Sorry for the double-post, Ive pepped one bicep and rondoed the inside of the shoulders..... I think today ill start bondoing the outsides.... wish me luck, ill need it! I know the arm looks kind of small, but I think it might be ok since im combining it with the ODST shoulders? What do you...

So I havent completed a helmet yet, or had any halo visor work yet, but the title of this thread caught my attention because I AM a motorcycle rider and have experience with different visors. The first thing I want to bring up is that "gold" and "iridium" are different color visors usually. Gold...

finished the shoulders, I've got them resined too... as you may be able to guess by my progression, im a little bit worried and avoiding that bondo/rondo external stage :P Im gonna find some creative and effective way to attach these shoulders, because ive also pepped a few reach biceps to go...
