Forgive me if I missed it I'm on my phone so it's easy to look over things but for the eyes as what is the mesh material over them? Are acrylic sheets similar to plexiglass?

I cannot lie, that looks sick! I really like how clean it is and the fact that it replicates what you see on the movie. Awesome job!
I coudn't replicate what you did because one set of my leds were broke but I made do with one set. Not as screen accurate as yours but I'll still rock it!

thanks man:)... i was surprised (myself) to see the movie likeness effects after I took pictures of it...

So that's why you're only using one set installed in the middle (bummer!)... if only I can give you an eye kit in time for halloween:confused

we did not use any mesh material... but regarding plexiglass, i think it is similar to acrylic sheets...

plexiglass = acrylic sheet

They are one and the same

thanks sylar:)... as much as I like to accept it as 100%, I still want to keep the 1% that makes the build hand-made (makes me human...;):thumbsup)

Its been a while since my last update on this... been busy on completing the orders that came-in...;)

Anyway I just wanted to show everyone a freshly primed helm cast...

At first I bondo some pin holes and bubbles on the cast... then sanded it smooth...
After that is the first coat of primer filler... then sand it again...

I covered the inside using news paper to avoid painting it...

I strongly recommend to avoid painting the inside of the helm since you'll be gluing/attaching some padding, hinge system and other thing inside... it will be a better bonding if the glue or adhesive will be directly in contact with the inner wall... paint on the other hand will weaken the bonding of any parts that you will attach...

On with the 2nd and final coat of primer...
