Lastspartan's Mk-vi Helmet

[mooseguy04]

The Weta one or the H2?

the weta. I got the visor, and the whole right half of the helmet done

***UPDATE***

Fiberglass stage is done. Successfuly ^^

Just tested my mouse sander and some bondo on the helmet and I added a quick Primer layer.

 

[randomman]

That is looking quite nice.
Also, I actually liked the battle damage.
Not sure what could have caused it canon-wise, tho.
Seriously tho, looking real nice.

 

[LastSpartan]

On my old helmet?

 

[ImaGonnaGetYou]

Holy bejezuz that looks nice!

BTW, I think you should give it some black primer. It reveals alot more of what you have to slap bondo on.

 

[LastSpartan]

My grey primer shows it pretty good in real life. I agree that it's not easy to see the details on the picture

 

[LastSpartan]

This is before Primer. Where it's black, it's smooth like a baby's bottom.

This is the Primer currently drying. It's filling primer btw.

Everything is hand-sanded. Wet sanding ftw.

For a easier browsing, I'm also displaying the pictures in an album : http://www.aftershockcreations.com/photoga....php?album_id=1

Just wait until you've wet sanded so much that you totally remove your fingerprints and your hands are all pruney and creepy looking, then you wont like it so much
It really does work well though and your helmet is looking good

 

[LastSpartan]

Thanks both of you ^^

Means a lot for me.

I know that the pictures are crappy, and don't really give justice of the smoothness/details. I'll try to get you guys better pics with the sun.

***Update***

The left jaw is pretty much all smooth.

Once again, http://www.aftershockcreations.com/photoga....php?album_id=1 for the photo gallery and easier browsing.

hey buddy , keep up the good work , remember ''wet sanding is your friend'' , cant wait to see the finished product

 

[LastSpartan]

Thanks buddy ^^

It's takes more time to sand, but it's incredibly more smooth, so you need less bondo. I love it


I'm sleeping with my Bondo can nao!

You can post Here. Ask questions after reading the stickies here and here, not before. The search button is your friend, especially now that Adam fixed it. Welcome back to the 405th, and I hope your armour turns out well. Oh, and don't hijack other people's threads, the Mods don't like it.

Hey LS, I think his post was in reference to the member who posted before he did.

 

[smilie120]

[LastSpartan]

@SparTom007 : Thanks

The project is not really advancing this week because I have driving lessons and everything so no time.
