**Update!!**
I finally finished with the poly eurethane on the dome, and shot some primer so that I could see things better. I'm still not fully satisfied as I've found a few spots that still need some minor work. This is one of those times that I really hate being picky.
I've got my final visor installed now, complete with chicago screws ( boston screws to some ) so that it can removed easily. I think that one more session of tweeking the dome should do it, then I'll shoot the final coat of primer.
Now I'm turning my attention on constructing some gauntlets.
Here's what I hope will be the last batch of pictures before I start applying the rub n' buff and paint. I've got some side projects on the go as well, I've got to get my sons helmet finished up and start on another kids sized, and two sets of kids sized gauntlets. Should be some happy 5 year olds this Halloween.
Now, on with the pics...
