looking great so far, I'm very nervous about my first bondo on my test helmet, do you have any suggestions, 'cause yours looks really well done. Your details look fantastic too. It almost looks like a 2 piece helmet, is it going to be on a hing so it can withdraw the face plate, or is it dremeled out to look like its 2 pieces?

I can't wait to see more pics, post updates soon and keep up the great work!

this is sharkhead helmet and this helmet is 5 pieces i think.i dint added to much bondo on this helmet because he is HD and have alot of details so you dont have to do much,i used bondo on all faceplate a little bondo on the back and fully bondo on jaw so it was a pain to sand hehe...to bondo you can do it separated just measure all of the time to see if the pieces fit.and to cut the fiberglass just use some fine handsaw like some guys here taught to me. if you need something else just ask im glad to be useful.

I had a big ole' discussion with zabana the past couple of days on he he did it and how h plans to upgrade his and other possible ways of doing it. The thread is here: http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/25700-Ironman-Motorised-Faceplate-Idea


Also, you helmet is looking nice and smooth. I mean, really smooth. The only thing I would say is that on the last picture it looks as it the bit on the faceplate just above the mouth has a few rough spots. Apart from that, absolutely fantastic work

Low's or Home Depot. There in the Hinge isle. I was gonna use them but I decided to Make my own outta cardboard and fiberglass it for strength.

 

[duskullms]

this thing is very useful dude for the hinge...
i can make of card board and fiberglass too but i dont know how xD

Yes they are very useful. The reason I took the other route is bcause when I test fitted it on my helmet, They were alittle too long and when my faceplate closed the end of the hinge was tight on the side of my ears.

yup...but this part was very hard to sand haha

Can you provide some tips? I'm doing mine in a couple of hours, and I don't even want to put bondo in there! I'm thinking of just putting rondo in the inside and not the outside. because putting it on the outside would be a pain in the butt

Well I just don't want to put bondo in there because i'm afraid I will lose the detail, since bondo is pretty thick.
