im pretty much at the stage of sanding the face plate down as you can tell, as iv used fiberglass and bodyfill to make the helmet, this is taking awhile!!!



this is a work in progress and il update when i can



hope you enjoy

[JEStudios]

thanx Syphon! it took about an hour of sanding to get it that smooth.



JEStudio, im pretty sure its his second one, i got a link from one of the pep threads. It'l end up looking different as i had a few bugger ups during the fiberglassing so iv slightly changed the shape of the helmet.

 

[JEStudios]

Ahhh ... cool I just finished that one myself havent started the sanding or bondo part yet. Keep up the good work and like the smoothness of the faceplate as well.

Hey can you guys tell me how you sized your helmets?



Did you use Xtreme Tactics tutorial on sizing?

[CelticSpartan]

That looks really nice



P.S. Is that a Cyberpower PC I see there?

 

[benable]

actually james the sizing of mine was dumb luck. i just used the standard layout the pep files came in and it fitted my noggin perfectly lol



CelticSpartan, its actually my customised pc i built myself. it has a cooler master case which im guessing is similiar

update time. not much but its still progress

 

[Starkiller13666]

Its looking good keep working at it no matter how long it takes. i hope it come out well.

 

[benable]

update time!! so i have coated the whole helmet in body filler and starting to sand down.



also iv cut the heads off a few screws, counter sunk holes into the faceplate and resined the screw heads into it



then i have done a light coat of gold paint to see how the face plate will look. Not bad but i think the gold is "to gold" and it needs to be more yellow

If you want to keep the metallic look but lighten the shade, try finding some Tamiya "clear yellow", mix in a drop of white, which will lighten it up
