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.

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.

Now to reapply masking liquid and start painting!

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.
