I was looking at differences between the DF4L helm I've been making and the FS model. The FS model has a few details that the DF4L does not, (namely the nose piece, the indentions on the side of the jaw (not where the vent-looking thigs are, but on the front, on either side of the flat front part), and the indention in the back. The FS model also has a finer geometry for the curves on the helm, but that doesn't really matter to me, because I plan on sanding the hell out of my helm until it is perfectly curved anyway. So, I printed out the FS pieces for the back, the front indentions, and the nose piece, then got my dremel and attacked my current helm to make room for the FS parts. Here's how it came out:

I've already attached everything except the nose, it is merely taped on at this time. I'm going to put a little bit of resin on it so it will hold the shape it needs to fit on the helm properly, then I'm going to take it off and finish resining it. I'll paint it separately and re-attach it after everything else except for the visor is done, to help give the helm less of a "all-one-piece" appearance...
