The Rock-a-who? My Rocketeer helmet build

[giric thren]

Hey,

As all of my friends know, The Rocketeer is my absolute favorite movie. I don't know what took me so long to take on this amazing helmet (and maybe more....eventually)

I got this beautiful helmet from Ozymandias, and am blown away at it.

I've gotten a bit done on it for a while, and it's already my favorite prop I've ever done. Definitely the best looking one.

Brown Box Day!!



once I got it out of the box, I did a test fit for the fin.

I got the eyes trimmed, and started on the mouth. I still have finishing work to do.

I look like a hood ornament. Sorry, I had to.

I applied a light coat of primer to find small imperfections

So I have learned that I am horrible at using bondo. Would anyone have suggestions on proper sanding, and application?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking,

Thomas

Okay, so I removed all the bondo. It actually wasn't difficult, probably because it wasn't applied correctly. Any suggestions, or comments?

Here's the helmet as it sits right now. Does anyone know what this helmet is made of? Looking for the best epoxy, and it'd be helpful to know.



I don't hate the current color scheme

Thanks,

Thomas
