Wow. How i wish my Mark 42/43 Helmet is as detailed and accurate as yours! :thumbsup

How did you get the helmet to be so perfectly round and clean? Need some advice so I can do better on my next helmet haha

Thanks
You just have to sand a lot and be really, really, really patient.

thank you

Do you mean at the stage where I prepared it for making the mold?
That was just expanding foam so that I can make a base where the helmet could properly stand on for molding.
I cut it out afterwards, which was a real pain in the a**:confused

No but thanks. You know when you do pepakura the helmet is usually got a lip on it and in this image it's flush

 

[EvoLutionX]

gotcha, just cut it away after applying resin

Why did you remove the ears after resining?
Background to the question: I just resined a helmet (gimpees file edited by xevanx) and because of the fact that the ears are hollow I couldn't put any fiberglas in there. Now the ears are only coated with 2 layers of resin and wobble if you press on them. I'm afraid to put bondo onto that surface.
Any advice from your side?

 

[EvoLutionX]

It`s a lot easier to work on the ears and get a perfect surface if they are seperate and you can put bondo/resin in the inside to reinforce them.
If you don`t want to do that just be really carefull when you sand them.
