Sure thing, its pretty low res but it does work (with a lot of sanding haha).

Havent worked on it in a couple days, been moving out of my apartment. Might not be able to continue on it until I hit California in mid june.
Such is life I suppose.

Well, after a couple weeks off for graduations and throwingallmystuffaway I decided to sit down with my helmet again this afternoon. Didn't really do too much, but I pulled the cheeks of the faceplate in a bit, making it less wide (I didnt like it heh), by riveting nylon strapping tightly to the corners underneath, it also doubles to hold the helmet firmly and comfortably in the exact position I want it in. Hell yeah two birds with one stone.
I also sanded down and filled in the upper nose are, in front of the eyes. All I really need to do to have the base nearly complete is go over the main bit again with some light bondo, and sand it all smooth... then its heraldry and lenses/leds!

this is the best Armor build I've seen to date. As a child I was crazy for Warhammer 40K miniatures.
I've seen the other thread in your signature.
1. shaking hands with the Master Chief is too cool: D
2. is the smaller mask you wear there a pepakura file? If it is, would you share it with me?
Heroes are not born ...
... they are built

Alright! Well I did some more spot bondoing and sanding (It.. might even look worse for it.. hrm.. whatever) but I still have quite a bit of finish sanding to do before I make anything permanent.
I was tinkering around with heraldry though, and I like this setup so far. I have plans for a grill on the top vent and the aquila will wrap around the forehead, the wings will be laying flat not sticking out like they are.
What do you think?

Holy &%*($(% %*^&! That is so frickin' awesome! I love the setup of the heraldry. I do not know what they correlate to in WH40K, but the Maltese Cross and the futuristic Eagle of the Holy Roman Emperor fit the armor perfectly. The vents are done extremely well and I think the chin extender gives the helmet some needed depth. Absolutely wonderful work.Alright!

Yeah dont worry, I wont leave it rough like that. The eternal battle with bondo continues.
And you bet your heavily armored ass I'm building the Black Sword. Won't be until late June or early july, but I have been making plans for it in the meantime, and it is going to properly blow away all of my other weapon projects. Gotta go all out on your own gear, you know?
Glad you guys like it, this is the first helmet I have built - glad its not... you know.. too terrible.

Not terrible at all, man! It just needs a little sanding and it will truly be worthy of Elite Status.
Midday sun has washed out my entire house for picture taking, but I'm posting it anyways. I'll get better shots later or something (probably when I start on the laurels or lenses)
The base is done! Going to make a little extension for the back to hide the upper part of my neck, but thats a single piece of plastic. Doesnt even count.
On to the laurels! On to the glowing eyes!
Onwards!

That helmet looks really good... I haven't played 40K in a long time, but I do periodically look at the new stuff coming out. This is looking really nice. Are you looking to rework the rest of the suit, as well? Or is it mostly going to be detail mods?
