I decided to build the Halo 4 Recruit helmet for no reason lol, I don't plan to make the suit to go with it, just wanted to see if I could build it, I can say this much this helmet looks so easy to build which the pe is then thats where it changes, I have built plenty of helmets in the past and so far to date this helmet has been a detailing nightmare, sometimes I wish I wasn't as so picky to make it as close to the in game version as I can then I could probably pull this one off pretty quick. The helmet pep was made for me by JTM1997 back before the Halo 4 game was even released, I have been working on and off oof it for a little while I think I have about 3 weeks total into the helmet I still have a ways to go I would say it is 75% finished, I still need to add a lower neck seal below the lower jaw area, add some missing details, finish the vacuform visor buck and fix the round twisty know thing on the back to look sort of in game, sorry I don't have a ton of WIP pictures, I was lazy and didn't feel like uploading them to Photobucket because my computer is acting slow at the moment so here are the pics that I crrently have uploaded
Here is a link to the Recruit PDO. file if your interested in building this helmet

Only pic I have of the helmet during the pep stage lol
How the helmet looks at the time of posting these pics
Back of the helmet that was not much fun to work on, I still need to finish the twist knob thing and finish up some minor detail work
THe nose section was a challange to pull off as the pep does not include any of the details period and the cheek vents had to be custom made also, I prefer LD models to do my own detail work so I guess I got what I was looking for
Here is the top of the helmet and all the little panels on the top are not made from foam sheets, thats half a day worth of work on the top alone, I will never do those again lol
If you would like to see some more build process pics I have some loaded on Stony Props Facebook page you can see them here

I should have some more updates on this helmet in a few days, till then I hope you like it and let me know if you see something that needs improvement or changing
