Update on my progress: I've gone a long way with this. Finished printing each side and gluing the parts together. It's rough, but I'm making a mold of this. Pieces are glued with Acrylic glue and I filled it with Gold Bondo. Which sticks a little better to plastic. It sticks so well I've used it to repair cracking.

To correct more layer shifting I had to make some cuts with the Dremel. PLA has a low glass point so it's never pretty to cut this stuff.

Bits and pieces that need to be re-modeled. I've found a few issues as I looked at the fitting of these components. The stock for the range finder is incorrect so I need to work that one out. And I need to add the range finder stock connector to the helmet instead of the cap that I have modeled now.
