OK
saeted by hammering out the small part that goes behind the earcape lasers. I hammered it out on a sandbag wrapped in leather and useing a leather wrapped ball-pene hammer, it left no hammer marks. I invented a new technique possibly! =D    I bondo'd that in place, dremeled it to shape then did the sanding on it to smoothehn it out.

I also engraved kill striped and what their or in the back of the helmat for that personalised childish touch ^-^

I also engraved the switch on the left ear cap with my RunesCape clan symbol, the circuit diagram symbol for an LED is the on position, and reguler Diode is off position

I also added a small "camera" part and the 2 arrows engraved at either side

Then I evened out the visor

Have you checked your phone's camera settings to see if you can turn the resolution up? It'll eat up storage space faster but you might at least get a better picture.

That's better and the bucket look's great, im not feeling the Captain america wing's though or are they from The Flash ?  ;D The only part you might need to work on is when you install the visor it look's a bit warped at the front, im sure it wont be a problem for ye  ;)

Yea, the frnt's a bit round on one side-but at leaste it's more belieavabel that -I- made it :P
and the wing thign is from a Helamt I wear on Runescape for Slaying Kalphites and the likes of such noobs. All the parts that looked gold-ish before primei9ng are masked and will be polished brass then slightly tarnished and laqoured to keep them from turning too green/brown over time.

Hmm, not a big fan of the wings. But, I do love the helmet! Almost looks like a Captain Barcara. I think he's a cap. I don't remember. Lol, anyway, I love the look of the helmet.

The rear vent may look a lil wierd at 1st, but thats just my "enhanced cooling system" and I did some spot-filler in some places and another coat of filler-primer over those.
Looking good vod :)

the tiny manequin head makes it look wierd and when it sits flat on my head(+/- 2mm) it's pretty much perfect eyelevel ect.
