Hi, been a bit of a lurker, absorbing information and ogling at the many excellent builds on here. Thought I'd made enough progress to share what I've done so far.
I came to the forum after looking at making a Boba Fett helmet, but tbh, Irom Man is more interesting to me.
My first ever Pep was Sharkmarks excellently detailed one, and I mad a few mistakes. Firstly, as it was my first attempt I thought I'd do the faceplate first to see how it went. Unfortunately when I made the helmet the pieces didn't match up for some reason, and it was a bit tight on my ears.

So unfortunately this went in the bin...
I had a bit of a brain fart, and thought the next time I'f use cardboard so that I could layer it where I needed details like the helmet seam. I tried resizing it but got that wrong too, way too big and it was just plain wrong...
Funniest of all was when I taped some of the shut lines together and looked head on, it wasn't Iron Man, it was Iron Hitler:
