Hey guys this is my first post, I am new to the 405th, and have been working on my recon helmet for a couple of days now, I'm still in the bondo stage and will be working all day to get it into the painting stage, I was wondering if anyone has any pictures of the recon helmet from the back, since I can't seem to find any.

there are some uneven areas that im gonna fix today, ill have some photos up with progress later on this evening



*EDIT*

Yeah, i think your right, i can see the that there arent any details on the sides of the helmet like the recon.

This is EOD. Not Recon.



I checked the wiki but it seems we have no Recon folder there which is a shame.

According to the costume wiki that is recon. EOD has those things that run down along the jaw and eyeball visors.

I can assure you that is most certainly EOD.

Those are just what I needed man, sorry I dont know where to find things at. This will help a lot, the back has been an enigma till now

I have finished detailing and bondoing the helmet, I painted it black to help me get rid of the bumps when I sand later this evening, I hope to Paint tomorrow, here are some updated pics.

[Chewbs]

what method did you use for the panel lines?

 

[Raidenx55]

I have the first layers of paint done, Im going to paint the accents black and then Ill put a couple of coats of clear down once I get everything finalized, here is a sneak preview, I ordered a gold mirrored visor via ebay today too. I can't wait to see this thing finished.

 

[Raidenx55]

what method did you use for the panel lines?

I very carefully used my dremel and etched the lines in after I Sharpied the lines. It was nerve racking cus I thought I would cut the helmet at anytime

 

[Robbymrodriguez]

Dude!!! Nice, did you mean for some much to show through?

what do you mean? you talking about the black, then yes, I wanted it to look weathered

 

[Robbymrodriguez]

Heh, yeah I was just about to edit, I did mean black. >.< I am all for shiny and new myself, but even for weathered do you think it's a little much?
