this one looks nice, but is way too thin... needed another 1-2 coats of resin.
one more try and i should be done!
i've poured 4 so far.
#1 was WAY too thick... so thick that i couldn't cut out the visor... the dremel cutting blade was too small
#2 was better, but had a HUGE glop of resin on the inside that was too much to even bother working through.
#3 (shown) went the opposite direction... too thin!
#4 will be tonight, and i HOPE that will be the final one!
i threw some silver paint on the thin one and slapped an opaque black visor in it. i mostly wanted to make sure the ears still fit properly.
so, in the end... is it worth all this fuss? i think so! it's a beautiful helmet, and once i finally get the pouring right, i'm going to be REALLY happy.
Nice one Gav for use of the word 'Eppy' the first time I've seen it on this fine forum, great job Brian, I too am crossing my fingers for number 4 on your behalf
Come on Wes MR took their time to do the ESB paint right!
Had it not been for RS they prob would of casted the Jango bucket and paint scheme. And try to pass it off as the MR ESB Superduper Special Pre Pro Mantastic Limited Signature Edition with matching Man Bag! Ofcourse the man bag would scratch up the helmet when shipped.
