Geez David, you make this build look so awesome! I know you said the helmet was the easiest, but I can already tell, you knock this out!

Thanks,.. I have considered doing a prosthetic for under the helmet,.. but I fear how insanely hot that will be. One thing at a time though,.. just want to get the basic suit done first then will probably rework another version later on.

I have photos on facebook and dozens of hours of raw video recorded on my Ustream channel showing just about every stage I've done thus far. Basically I made a simple Silicone Glove mold of the helmet with a 2 part fiberglass mother mold,.. then cast the helmets in SmoothCast 300.

04/09/13 Halo 4 Didact Helmet Progress. Mostly painted and LED lighting installed. 192 LED bulbs total in this helmet. LED battery pack was pretty drained by the time I got around to taking photos, so lighting is a little dim here. Had them running for about 5 hours while installing everything to test battery pack lifespan. Poured some test eye lenses in Yellow tinted clear resin, should be ready to install tomorrow. Detail painting and a heavy gloss coat before it's finished.

Hey FX. Was watching the stream last night. Shame the chat doesnt work on an ipad or I would have said hi. Did you end up doing the colour tests for the eyes? My little boy and I were not well so didn't get to watch for long which is a shame because it was the part i wanted to watch.
Edit. Ah typical, you said as I was posting lol. Looking amazing man! Hopefully my clay will turn up today so I can start my first sculpt. How much clay did you use for the sculpt btw? Mine is going to need a lot for the very long ears I will be making but want an idea of the amount needed for this kind of thing then can estimate the extra I might need. I have a feeling I haven't ordered enough and the clay I bought wasn't cheap.
