Nice!!! And I share your sentiment in helping others!

[Herz]

Just glad I can help!

Glued an extra layer of 3mm sintra behind this piece to get the exact thickness I want.

Gonna smooth this out then its done! Thinking about attaching the earcaps via screws so I can hollow them out later for something.

[Herz]

Left earcap done.



Lower right earcap done.

[Bowfanny]

You're nocking those right out!

[Herz]

Right earcap done! Top part will be removable to add a range finder or etc later on.


Now to put this together and start paint!

[Reyn Vok'chi]

This is a quality build, well done. Can't wait to see it finished.

[Herz]

Thanks vode!

Earcaps have been installed and I finally removed the support piece for the visor. Gonna do some more sandage here and there and prep for paint, but...

Shes pretty much done! Paint and visor install coming soon!







Now to get the visor fitment correct, clean up the interior and then work on fans after the rest is done.

[Herz]

Time for progress! From primed, to shiny, to masking and finally the finished paint chip layer.

Now to reapply masking liquid and start painting!

[Herz]

Got the green on the visor and the gray under it on so far. More to come tomorrow! Hittin the sack.

[Bowfanny]

It looks amazing vod, you're almost there!!

[Kurshi BeJahaal]

I'm loving this! I may "borrow have" your idea for my ear caps as well!   yes... That's a polite way of saying "steal". This buy'ce is looking beautiful!

[Herz]

Just happy to help my fellow vode out!

Sprayed the white on the bucket and caps today. Planning out more details like jaig eyes and etc now.

I may actually end up doing a tutorial if you guys want! Either picture by picture or video.

Updates! Decided on Jaig eyes.

Still looooads of paintwork to do and weathering. Gonna go over some parts with my airbrush to cover up some overdone chipping/smooth things out and etc.

Sketched out a quick Jaig eye template based off Fenn's



After the stencil being applied and sprayed





Went back and did some touch ups with a brush and finally took off the masking liquid on the white. Viola! Now to fix some issues that bug me and finish painting the lower back half of the helmet.
