Thanks for all the comments everyone.
Wow, I can't believe someone else has seen Patlabor
. I used to be such a mecha nut. Yep, Alphonse is my last model kit/ desk monkey/ photo scale.
I'm going for something close to these colors but for my original suit.
Detailing and basic weathering is finished, I'll add scuff marks later. I'm ghetto molding the vents because I don't want to wait for the real molding stuff to come in. Still, I'm hoping it'll be here by the end of the week. The visor is just jammed in place for show. I plan to do a double visor for it soon. I know it's not anywhere near perfect but it honestly turned out better than I thought it would.
So do ya'll think that this type of visor looks okay or should I go hunting for something better for the final version?
Oh yeah, no use talking about all this without pics right.

It is an iridium visor, but it has alot of layers of different tints to achieve the gold tinting.

Thank for all the compliments everyone. I don't know what I'll do next as far as helms go, probably the H3 Mk V or the Hyabusa depending on which file I get my hands on first.
The CQB helm is finished. My ghetto molded vents look pretty decent and the double visor is done. I'll be making a mold of it soon so if anybody is interested in a pull, PM me and let me know. I'll only be doing a very limited run.
Final PICS!
Raw molded vent part.
Setup to cut double visor.
Vents installed!
Rough Double visor
Final Helmet, visor Black silicone setting (few fingerprints on the lower part, I'll clean it up as soon as it sets)

That looks like "Patlabor"...IDK, but Sigma, I was wondering what scale did you use for your helmet...by looking at your visor it looks as if your helmet is pretty big. But I am having the same prob like you, with the brim tending to bulge out. (Right side)
Your CQB totally rocks right now, can't wait till you finish up the rest. (if you plan on doing the shoulders and chest)
Makes me want to finish up my CQB as well!

I just used the default 26 scale so it is just about 3 cm taller than my Spase helm and correct proportionally to my Sean, BR, and NAS stuff. I actually had to cut out some of the bottom polygons for it to fit right.
As for the bulge problem, this is what I did. Taped it into position then poured a rondo/mud mix into the brim and filled it up completely. However, this added an additional 2 lb to the helm and made it unbalanced. It won't matter since I'll mold it but it might be hard for you to wear yours after you do that to it.
I'm hoping to complete the full CQB set by this summer. I'll keep everyone updated as I get started on the rest.
