Coolguy26 - I do not think the piece comes up when the faceplate goes up too. On my own helmet i will be making it so that the piece you are referring to remains in place while the face plate moves up.
Update - Or should i say downdate? The helmet i printed out, painstakingly cut out, and am now through a good part gluing together...is WAY to big for my head. Why you ask? Apparently i am an idiot. When the print screen asked me if i wanted to adjust the setting or whatever the message was, i clicked no instead of yes. Hence, larger helmet and me kicking, screaming, and crying as i throw the pieces into the trash. ( I promised pictures so here is my failed attempt that i will be tossing into the trash) back to the printer..ill have to have another go at it......F@&%!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gregnizzle - thanks for the compliment
UR shiZZle - the paper i am using is cardstock. I dont really know the exact thickness of the paper. Danke sehr!!
Update - Printed out helmet, and this time i made freaking sure i hit the yes i want to adjust scale before printing..Dont know how long it will take me. Work for the rest of the week except for sunday. But it will get done sooner or later..
Everyone - can someone pm me as to how to post pictures? it keeps saying i have used 4.88 MB of 4.88 MB of quota or something? I cant seem to post anymore pictures..

whats up my friend! i love the armor so far
Its getting there slowly but surely. It took me two times of reprinting and gluing and so on to get the helmet the right size for me. However, ive been debating going with sharkheads helmet..its easier to put together too. not so many pages and still nicely detailed. Not to mention it looks really good when resined and bondoed as in jonnys pictures.
Okay. So here is the picture of the helmet i have been working on. Theres a couple of problems though..
1.) While i realize the helmet is very accurate in the rear portion of the build, the front is not where i would like it to be. Not to mention this helmet is insane as far as page numbers go. I think its around twenty five to thirty even AFTER arranging the pieces. And seeing as i have tried for the second time to put it together, it still does not fit me right, and i dont see me using it.
2.) I plan on going with Sharkheads file. The helmet is simple, not many pages, great appeal to me as far as the front and all over appearance of the helmet, and frankly, Jonny's pictures pretty much convinced me. SO...
again, here is a picture of the one i WAS going to use. But im gonna go with sharkheads file. Shouldnt take long. Only ten pages instead of 25-30. I Should have pictures up by tuesday night. Gotta go to work. I realize this build is going to take some time, seeing as how stickly i am for details and accuracy of the build. Thanks for followin along guys. Hopefully i will soon have something to make this thread jump a bit more.

Just for a reference point. The first picture is the one that the now abandoned helmet was based on (I think). However, im going for the look of the second (Which is sharkheads). Main difference as far as i can tell is the way the eyes are portrayed and the width of the cheeks. The first seems to me as if it looks a bit wider. Plus did i mention less pages for sharkheads file? :lol

Try to respect other folks' topics there coolguy26....otherwise known as hijacking someone's thread....if you have progress pics of project, you can start your own w.i.p. thread. But that being said, it looks like it may have been a little rushed, but other than that not bad. Just remember to take your time on things like this. And welcome!!

Coolguy - i like youre helmet but ill have to agree with Mks81. It doesnt look bad but a little rushed..but im sure youll be able to bondo out the little details.
Update - Okay. So i finally got my work station assembled and with tomorrow off and me being off early tonight it looks like a Helmet night. Expect pictures by tomorrow night (of the high detailed helmet. i cant help but finish what i started..)
