...or: how I spent my summer vacation.
Hello,
This place has been great giving me a kick in the pants to start a project (or several). I wasn't sure I was going to do a progress thread, but I'm just too proud of my work so far not to show it off.
This is a mystery helmet from Sarge. I squared the corners on the cheeks, added extra scratches/dings, fiberglassed the inside (which was a pain, someone should make a tutorial for fiberglassing). Everything done with a small handsaw and a mat knife and elbow grease. Painted using AFFO$'s spray paint guide.
Next up this week: paint touch ups, de-shining the dome, and detail! I won't be able to post regular progress as I'm heading back to school, but I'll do what I can.
Thanks for looking!
