Working on the helmet now, so this will be home for the next 7 to 10 days.

The kit is one of Todd's (Sandman on TDH). This is a really great kit, clean casts. This is I think the 6th paint up I've done of Todd's Boushh helmets, and they are always great to work with. The kit comes with all the necessary pieces for greeblies and lenses. I've been working on it all afternoon but at this point there isn't anything to show. I always spend the first few hours sanding and prepping the helmet. There are some seams that usually need some TLC, but honestly there isn't much to do on this beautiful bucket. I spend a lot of time sanding because then the paint/primer just takes to the helmet nicer. So I start with about a 220 grit and work my way up to a finer paper to keep things nice and smooth. I always wear coveralls at this stage, because that resin dust just gets everywhere.

I'll probably cut out the lens holes next, which is also a messy process. Lots of prep before I can get to paint. Goggles and dust mask are a good idea for that. I'll probably have a lot of posts for the next 2 weeks. Be prepared.
