Thanks for the link. I already have the pep files printed for the helmet. I would like to show pictures but i don't know how.

 

[spartanhcky6]

well if you have the pictures on your computer you should be able to just copy and paste them in a thread

 

[ODST479]

You need to use a service like Photobucket.

Welcome to the 405th. Have a look at this thread... http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/30138-405th-Mentor-Programme-2.0?highlight=mentor+program

Being a new builder, it may greatly benefit you. The mentors within this program are very knowledgable and extremely usefull for providing any information you may need.

Good luck, and I hope to see some of your work in the future.

Thank you xBeaver Feaver.

I've just finished the first section of my helmet.

Second Section, You are about to be glued!

Your build is looking pretty good so far. I am also just learning, but 1 thing Ive already learned the hard way is to take your time pepping the pieces. A nice clean pep biuld can save you lots of time, frustration and bondo alittle later down the road.

Again, good luck and keep up the good work.

I had to restart my project (i started to days ago, took a day to try to fix it, and i restarted today) and i rushed through the first time and i couldn't complete it. I'm now taking my time and i've gotten further than i did last time.

Almost done gluing the next section

Im done with the second section. Heres the link!

Why don't you finish one project before you go on to do the next? An ODST, a Mark V, a Scorpion - that's a lot to handle at once.

 

[ODST479]

I know, the scorpion is for a school project, and im just thinking ahead about the mrk 5. I am enjoying this project alot though.

Instead of just posting a link to your photobucket, you can post each pic by copying the IMG tag below the picture in your photobucket and pasting that to your post. That will allow the pic to be displayed in the thread.

 

[ODST479]

Thank you! I have been trying to do that since i started

Chest piece here i come

What's with the double- and triple-posting? Just edit your last post.
