Looking great, Thor! I like the BornToKill theme of the helmet

I was leaning more toward the HALO kitty version...

I think its pretty pimp. Hope I can get my detail as sharp as yours on my current build. Anyways, your work is always awesome and definitely an inspiration. Your Mark VI build was one of the first builds I have ever seen & one of the reasons I started to do this stuff. keep up the great work Thorssoli!
P.S. One suggestion for your potential photo shop paint designs. Yellow Smiley face would rock

The back of the top looks uneven/not round other than that I think it's good.
Here's a few shots of mine, look at the back, it's all rounded, yours seems to have a big bump on the top:

I'm pretty sure its the position of the camera. It looks to me like the camera is positioned slightly to the right.

Best seen here:
I'm going to call this one 98% done.
Did I miss anything?

Again, I think its the camera angle. If their is a slight uneveness to it, then it seems pretty inmaterial (seems worse than it really is, due to the camera being above the helmet and slightley to the right).

There's a small divot between the the highest part of the back and the visor, in fact it's higher than the visor. Even if it wasn't at an angle it would still be higher.; The far edge is the center line of back of the helmet .
You're right. But if my helmet is wrong, someone should tell this guy that his is wrong too:
It's too late anyway. While you were typing that, I was building this:
And slathering it with plurple goo:
Which set up nicely:
So this morning I layered on some pink goo:
Next I'll be adding another layer of plurple to smooth everything out. Then it's time for a mothermold before flipping the whole thing over and repeating for the other half of the mold.
Stay tuned...

Great job Thor! I have been tuned in for a while. Keep it up!
Thank you all for your kind words. I really meant it when I mentioned that praise = project fuel.
I pick up most of my molding and casting materials from www.aeromarineproducts.com. The silicone I'm using is their AM128 Moldmaking silicone. The color depends on which catalyst you use. Plurple for pourable or pink for brushable. If you order from them, tell them Shawn Thorsson sent you. I'm hoping to get a refund one of these days.
Regarding prices: As I'm sure you know, we're not allowed to post them on the forum. If you're interested in getting one of these, shoot me an email and we'll see if we can work out some sort of exchange. Suffice it to say, a raw cast will cost a bit less than my Spartan helmets and shipping will be cheaper by quite a bit.
