Ok, i'll participate. First builds are always rough. Everyone gets better with time. I am actually very embarrassed about my first one. I went at it again after learning from that one, and did way better. Glad I did. I've since been focusing more on props rather than whole cosplays.

Right, I'll contribute as well.
Small thing, but a repaint of my SB ODST Kit, as well as a new rigging system on it that was all centered around my Tactical Vest.

Well I would certainly like to say that I have improved a lot.
Here is my first ever Halo helmet, made it when I was 10 (I think?)
Then my first foam helmet and chestplate (these were freehanded)
And my current build, helmet to be replaced

From 2009 digging through thrift stores and playing with duct tape...
To 2018 and digging through thrift stores and playing with duct tape AND MORE!
I kind of want to go back and remake things for a direct comparison of skill but that requires effort. Imma go take a nap.

Ok.....my multiple mishaps on the same piece:
this is the comparison between my 2nd and 3rd attempt on my helmet...I never took one of the 1st.
This was the 4th attempt, the 5th still hasn't resurfaced after I threw it across the room in the basement.
The 6th was a disaster. After peping it I resined it and it never dried......almost a week later it was still sticky and the paper had dented and warped horrifically.
This was #7.....sized too small......"just shoot me at this point" was the mantra.......
Comparison between #7 and #8.......which eventually became 
It's about 5-10% larger than it could have been but It's perfect as it make me appear much bigger that I actually am.

I really don't understand how you had so much trouble with that Dirtdives but you make two helmets for your kids no problem.
