Today I have a day off work, and I'm supposed to be taking a bunch of stuff to the tip. Unfortunately for my productivity, I sat down at my desk to check emails, and accidnetally glued a lot of stuff together.
Notes on this pep - it's complex, and the numbers are often over-printed, so it's tricky to understand exactly how things go, at times. The grill in the faceplate is a complete nightmare, and I've only used the central section to get the spacing right. From what others have told me about fiber-glassing, those little details need to be re-done afterwards anyway.
My slapdash approach does mean several tabs don't line up, but the general shape is good and I'm closing in on the final stages, I think. The next big pieces are the tubes that will finally connect the faceplate to the helmet, and I hope they'll also cement the two parts of the helmet together. I'm back at work from tomorrow, but there's no requirements on my evening time, other than the kitchen reno that we're not doing. We started not doing it yesterday.

Just a little addendum - I love having a desktop again! It may have been the very cheapest option, and it won't run Battlefront II if I ever get it, but it's so much better than posting from my phone!
