I must pay homage to space cowboy, terra1, fierfek's, toxx for their work, it has been a great inspiration for me, however I chose the pep of fskn, it is in my opinion a great precision.

I have great difficulty with duplicate photos ...

 

[GTImotion]

With such crisp pep you hardly going to need to use any filler to get it looking all smooth.

 

[zeca]

inside the helmet was resined the brushes, then a good layer of resin + fiberglass cut sequin + white gelcoat thickened, it reinforces and at the same time to have the matter below when sanding








in this picture we can see that the rear is distorted due the weight of the helmet, it does not matter we'll see that later












sanding, sanding, sanding, sanding....

 

[zeca]

Nice work, and a clean job with the bondo!

Can't wait to see the first coat of primer on it...

 

[zeca]

hello,
new update


I think the shape is good, I can make the details.
I do not think the face was so difficult, there are many many details.

 

[omooney]

This looks fantastic! I'm currently working on one myself, and am about at the same stage in the process as you are. I agree that yours has a really good shape!

 

[zeca]

hello,

Toxx thank's, I try to move forward step by step, paying attention to small details, the primary is still a bit far I think.

 

[zeca]

omooney, thank's ,I thought it was magic from that of printed sheets and get to do things vaiment very close to reality, since I put on the helmet that has become an obsession, I was hooked.
