O.k. this have been long over due, so I guess I will start with this, The helmet is mostly finished, at the time that I painted it, I decided that I did not like using bondo, had only used it once before and wasted a whole 20$ bucket from walmart, so I was going to simply slap on roughly three coats of the autobody resin instead, since it was easier to "paint" on, then I could sand that down a bit, once I'm ready to finish the other pieces I may go back and attempt bondo again on smaller pieces such as sholders or biceps.
But as it stands the helmet is finished being painted, I still need to add a LED or two to the cheeks and a couple of fans inside behind the "vents" but that's simply touch up.
I had several questions regarding an undersuit or such, but from taking a nice look at the sporting goods section at my walmart, Ive decided to go the route of buying some nice elbow pads ($16.82) per =/, a cheap set of knee pads, a compression Tshirt and a decent set of compression shorts. I'm trying to make this as cool (temp wise) as possible, and I thought that having compression pants/longsleeve shirt, or even compression body suit, would be hotter than what I've decided to go with. Unfortunately my phone didn't save the picture of the nice elbow pads, will get another shot of them tomorrow, they look real nice, and cover a fair amount of my arm.
So with out further delay here are a few quick shots of the 90% finished helm.
