Halo Recon Build

[mrmedic0]

Hey guys,

This is my first Halo armor build. I am building a recon helmet with a mix of some of the other armor pieces. I plan on using one of the ODST shoulders, regular chest piece, and gungnir knee pieces. Here is the progress I have so far on my helmet. I would like a few suggestions about fixing the side pieces. They don't look quite how I'd like them and would appreciate any input to make them look better. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks for the help and I will be updating as I make further progress.

Is that a bondo'd and primed helmet? It would help me if you posted some more information about how you got from concept to where you're at now.

Definitely. I have been bondoing for awhile and then put some primer on it to see where some of the errors and imperfections are. There are a few bumps that you can see, but I plan on priming and sanding a few times to fill in the very tiny bumps. The major gash on the side I plan on filling in with some bondo. The triangle on the back was just something I added because I wanted it to be slightly customized and I thought it was cool. Still the same recon shape but add some of my own flare to it. The side "block" that you can see in the middle photo is what is bothering me. It doesn't look how I'd like. Was wondering if you had some suggestions on maybe reshaping or altering those because it just looks to big. Thanks for the input.

This thing?

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by side block.

Yes! Sorry I'm not being more specific. What do you think about it? Up for any constructive criticism.
