Mando helmet first slush cast painted up. Need to do a bit more scratching up etc.
The visor is a cheap one I've made from 3 layers of flimsy plastic sheets (red, green and top layer of blue) then backed by 1mm plastic clear Perspex. Only cost £2 to make so will do for time being

Again sorry pics are showing up side ways. It just seems to happen when I use my phone. Although before preview posting they show the right way round. Annoyingly strange

Thanks for all the encouraging words and comments guys.
I'm going to be moving on to the gauntlets next. Got to get my butt in gear now though as flight suit from the states should hopefully be gettig sent to me soon

Great job, OP! I know how much work it is going from build to plastic. Did you fiberglass this casting? Looks good!

As for the pics, I use jpeg lossless to rotate the photos from my phone, although I don't know if they can be downloaded onto the phone itself.

Its a slush cash using easy flo 120. I did not use any fibre glass strengthening.
Thanks for the advice on the photos.
I think i will prob not be using the phone as much to upload anymore and use my iPad instead
