It's a good run for your second helmet. I see a few areas that need some love, but it's workable. Are you using 110lb cardstock for this? It looks like it might be a bit thin based on the waviness of the cheek area. You're on a good track.

Also, in the future, you don't need to start a new thread for something you're technically already covering in another thread. In your other ODST helmet thread, you could have just said you're starting a new one. Food for though for the future.

Hugh's ODST sets are truly wonderful to work with. The beauty of the file lies in the sectioning - if you mess up on a section, you can discard it and try again.

My advice for the file would be to take it slowly and steadily, working one section at a time. Don't glue the jigsaw together until you have all of the individual pieces pepped out, make sure your lines are nice and crisp, line up your edges carefully when putting sections together and make sure you use some form of clamp to keep your edges down tight until the glue dries. I personally recommend paper clips or miniature bulldog clips.

Either way, I'm sure it will turn out well. Just remember, for the love of cookies, to take it steadily.
