Thanks, guys!
PICTURE UPDATES!!!
I've almost got the right side of the face complete. I still need to work more on the nose, but the cheeks are 95% done.
And to show what I started with and what I still have to do to the left side...
In this pic, I've closed in the key hole area. The MQ has a different back where I didn't have to cut it out like a regular Fett. But, I didn't know I was making a MQ Fett until after I cut this out. Thankfully, it's very easy to fix at this stage.
I also noticed that the rim of the helmet is not angled like a Fett, so I lowered the center 1" and made the back level. You can also see the temporary markings where I'm going to cut out for the MQ Fett back.
You can also see that I removed the dome plaster to redo it. I made an error with using the plaster. It's a good idea for detail, but it doesn't hold up very well.
I'm trying , guys. I also looked into the casting materials for my helmets. It's going to cost me over $300 for the materials for one helmet, and I want to do more than 4! What have I gotten myself into?!
It's all good though. I hopefully will have my old job back soon so I can afford this stuff.
