The front of the dome needs some more smoothing, from what I can see... But that bucket's definitely headed in the right direction!!  Kandosii!

Even better!!  This is coming along nicely, vod!  The last two pictures looked like the rim (not sure what to call the raised part that goes around the helmet) is a bit uneven on the back/right sides, but this could just be a shadow effect.  After paint, it would probably be pretty well hidden, anyway.  I digress...  GREAT work so far!

Quite nice.  I was originally concerned about the heavy bondo application in the beginning, but this is really looking good! 

Very well done so far!   8)

You just need to straighten out the rear ridge there.

Sandpaper wrapped around a metal ruler will help you get the edges straight. :)

Looking at older pics of my bucket I found the problem with the rim
 
As you can see I didn't get it lined up properly and it cost me at the end. To try to fix it I added bondo and tryed to straighten it out.
 
If you look at the last pic of my last post you can see where I over sanded at the top of the cheek I tryed to fix that to.

I honestly think that, if it were a real helmet, some warping and such would be normal (assuming it's not made from Mandalorian Iron, that is ;) ).  What I would do, is any place you feel it is warped, pass it off with some "battle damage."  Sand it down a bit, rough up the area, put some putty around some cuts to make jagged scrapes, etc.  You can easily make it look nice and weathered, while hiding those handful of uneven parts.  In my not-so-expert opinion, I'd say you're ready for paint.  This build has been looking better and better.  I think I speak for everyone when I say I can't WAIT to see it come together.  :D  OYA!

Well EPIC FAIL to report I got in a hurry (for some stupid reason), and I didn't let the silver layer fully dry before trying to put the base color on and now I have a minty smelling mess to clean, tryed to weather it, and some sanding ahead of me

Learn from your mistakes you must!   :P

I've said it before and it still holds true; Take your time & the quality will follow.

I don't think you will have any problems recovering from this minor setback!   8)

Just take a deep breath, and put another coat of silver on.  Make sure to let it dry fully.  Then continue painting.  All is not lost, vod.  :)

The paint pulled up all the way to the primer and looks like it tryed to slide of around the spots where I put toothpaste the weathering just doesn't look right at all when up close. I thought about just going with it but it just doesn't good to me.
