I am in financial straights right now and cannot proceed further on my Spartan Mark VI armor due to a lack of caulking 
So to keep myself from going crazy, I decided to start working on a Christmas present for my brother: an Ironman helmet!
So without further adéu, here are the pictures
When I built it, I traced the pepakura stuff off my laptop screen, cut it out, traced that onto some cornflake boxes, cut out the pieces, glued them together (the hot glue resides mostly on the inside), painted the inside black, and the faceplate and crown their respective colors, then attached them together with a little tape to see how they looked (I think they look awesome!). I will be putting some caulking on it in the following manner:
1) mix a little clear caulking with some water (gives it a shine), then rub evenly on the helm.
2) stuff some caulking in the seams, to hide them.
3) put on another thin layer or two of water-caulking mixture to make it water resistant.
I'll update you all when I get some caulking.
