I noticed you said your Gauntlets were too wide. I had an Idea I'm going to try with my helm once together. I was gonna suggest using packing foam. Like the kind you'd find in a Gun case to keep the firearm from moving around, Just cut it to your comfort. I've done it for Haloween costume gloves and masks to helpthem fill out better.
You said you used MS paint. So you used Gundam paint markers to paint your carter helm?
I'm just curious.

OH Nooo You fell for it!! The file in the carter where the cheek is the two vent thingies had this bulging piece. I cut it out and just made a hollowed out piece. But you could just dremel it out.

Thanks for the foam advice. Also, I spraypainted the helmet, and MS paint is the computer painting system. I took the picture and added a visor in for effect untill I order a visor next week

Your Carter helmet look freaking sweet man. Are you planning on making the whole reach armor too? I just recently started using rondo too and man does it make things so much easier. It helped me make the helmet in my avatar pic in about 5 days from including pep time. Keep it up man.

 

[Kiba963]

UPDATE: The Attachment is rondoed, but I have a ton of schoolwork today, but let me finish that and some chores, and I'll have pictures posted of it painted with my painted ODST chest #1. Also, I might remake the ODST parts altogether seeing that the HD files are flying out the backend of the forums.

Finally an update...

Here's the update on my work. I've had schoolwork to tend to, so I couldn't get to this, so I'll keep it short.

Really good work
How many time do you use to make a helmet?

Really good work

To make the ODST one, let's see the pep building took if I put all the time together, about 2 weeks cause of schoolwork, the resining and rondoing on the inside with that bondo to cover the warping took a day, I still need to sand, prime, and paint it though

The Carter one took a week all together

 

[Kiba963]

Sorry for the double post. I have an update. I'm almost done sanding down the ODST Helmet, and then I hope to get some primer real soon so I can base coat it. Then I have to choose between ODST Colors or Orange/Blue Reach colors. I'm having a bit of trouble with the sanding because even with wet sanding, as soon as it dries, everything is kinda powery, and idk how to fix that. I hope to find out soon. I might do a thin layer of bondo over everything I sanded after I'm done sanding. As soon as I can find out to fix my SD slot on my camera, I'll upload some pictures. Untill then, I bid you all farewell.

I think the HUL on Carter's helmet could be rotated a little bit, I don't really think the Commando helmet has it level.
Also, i like the paint, it looks like a brand new Commando helmet.

 

[Kiba963]

Okay, so the ODST Helmet has been primed, and I'm gonna Metal Coat it when it get's light outside before I have to go to class. I should be able to have pictures up when it is dry around 3-ish. See you all then.

EDIT: Metal Coat is on, pictures later today

Carter helmet Looks good, and can't wait to see how you're ODST helmet comes out.

 

[Kiba963]

Well, after months of schoolwork, here it is. The new and VERY improved ODST Helmet!!!!

 

[Mandalorian]

That helmet looks great! Is the visor on it's way?

 

[Kiba963]

Do I wish lol. Money's a bit tight atm, so I've gotta hurry and find a job so I can buy one.
