Hey guys,
Ive kinda stopped frequenting these forums this past year, so trying to get back into the swing of it by posting up some work. So over the last few months ive been going through a clone phase with commissions, and ive just been asked by a client to finish up a SkygunBro Neyo helmet kit. Thought I would through up some progress pictures on here as he dosent seem to be a well done clone, at least not as popular as Rex and Cody. I recently finished up a beautiful commander cody Kit which I thought came out really well, this was my first crack at doing a clone helmet, bit of a trial by fire;
So this was how the Neyo Kit arrived. Straight out of the mould, un trimmed and still leeching. It would need a good scrub with some oven cleaner and some sandpaper;
After a good day of work, I got it to a presentable state. Most of the major holes and imperfections were filled, while the visor, teeth and aerator holes were all cut and trimmed out. I put a dusting of primer down so I could see where any other issues lie:
With the primer Dried. I then went in with some putty, filled in any holes and gave it a good sand to get it smooth. I then hit it with a 2 coats of white paint. Like I said, im going through a clone phase at the moment, so im also working on a Waxer along with Neyo:
With the white laid down, I then went in and applied the black and grey trim, followed by the decals on the forehead and cheeks. I also added some black to the mouth as in some screen shots, Neyo has some weathering around there:
Ive got to hit him with a clear coat know to seal the paint and the decals, then i can get on to the weathering. Waxer is still only in the white phase of the job so I will update this thread with him as well. If any of you guys are interested in seeing more, I have a facebook page where I post all the work I do:

Any thoughts or opinions on him would be appreciated,
Thanks
