not gonna lie.... all ive done is gone backwards since the last update. I try to move on the next part and in the process i ruin another part, then spend 2 weeks fixing the helmet to how it looked before that
I no longer see the finishing of this helmet in sight.
The main problem ive been getting is that i was never satisfied with the panel lines, so i kept patching it with body filler and sanding it. Eventually it got down to bare cardboard and fiberglass. So i tried to patch that spot up and during the sanding, another spot messes up and this has been going on for 3 weeks now all in the same area
so before i decided to empty a magazine of 7.62 rounds into the helmet, i decided to try the rondo method
Built a flimsy wall
and to my demise: because of the curvature, the rondo mix started to pour over the tape wall, so i quikly grabed some bounty paper towels and starded whiping it off whatever i could ... Oh boy another problem to do deal with later
Im gonna go ahead and point on the main problems why this is taking forever to complete
- Did not do a very neat orgainzed job building the cardboard helmet. SO i had to use an exessive amount of body filler to build the entire shape
- I kept throwing different paints and primers: And you can see how messy all the random spots of paint look
- Im aiming for perfection, anything that bothers me gets destroyed with my dremel leading to more problems
