The helmet's dome doesn't flare out and then angle back in - it just flares out. Take a look at the back of the profile view. The angle that you're seeing from the front is its curved bottom as it wraps around back because the head is lowered at and angle.

I was wondering about that. Nice to have a few extra sets of eyes looking at it. The other thing I think is strange is how they had all those details on the lower faceplate initially and ended up with a flat plate on the production model. I personally like this look better.

Before you proceed any further may I ask you if you have seen the new concept arts released? Your pdo's head and eyes are quite spot on but the mouth piece is different.
Also here are some display pics

Actually I saw them the same day I started working on the version I have *facepalm*. Everything below the eyes is pretty much completely different. I really like the details on the cheekbone area, though I'm not sure they'll translate well to a PDO.

You would have to do the cheekbone area as a separate layer that lays on top of the bottom layer of mask. In fact this mask is all about layering. You have the bottom layer, the chrome detail layer, a bottom mouthplate layer, and a top mouthplate layer. And that's just the front

Well, it fits (printed at 12 in (299cm) high. It's a smidgen on the small side but I'm not going to change it at this point. The tabs are on the outside because I'll be using the pepakura as a throwaway mold. The inside gets coated with sonite wax, then sprayed liberally with mold release. It's worked well so far, but I haven't tried anything this big and complicated with the process.
