****UPDATE****
Finished the prototype helm.
Pictures here: https://picasaweb.google.com/110514...?authkey=Gv1sRgCNbDppKMzYbURw&feat=directlink
I'm happy with how it turned out for a prototype, gave me the chance to see that areas need more focus and reinforcement.
I printed out a second helm and quickly pepped it. Trying to get the helm as accurate as possible I used the reference pictures from http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/MJOLNIR_Powered_Assault_Armor to see what needed to be added / fixed.
I re printed some areas of the helm ie the top cap, pepped and attached them to the top of the helm to get the smoother line.
1. Added the raised area to the helm.
2. (added after photo) Added a flat piece of card to create the flat side
3. Added the ear piece detail
4. Added the cheek detail
5. Added the chin detail
6. (not shown) added the under cap detail
7. (not show) Added the back of the helm detail.
Once the minor changes were added I added in a gold piece of a card to get an idea of how it looks.

The helm has had its first coat of resin. Second going on tonight and then the fiberglass.
