Thanks man, I appreciate it. I think the whole welding the shells together and modding this helm is going around which is great, it's nice to know I've helped some people out as I'm usually the one scrolling through threads just soaking up information.
1. Yeah removed that part and rebuilt the chrome nose part. Also made the 2nd layer taller to match the anovos and some ref. pics from the movies.
2. Yes I cut on that red line and re built it and added plastic. The layering wouldn't work unless you do that.
3. It's close but could be done closer. I might cut off the front entirely and attach it to the chromed parts, but I would also cut off the back of the 2nd layer and reshape it to make even more accurate. So yes, there might be a Ver 3.0 to this. Maybe i'll get to it after I finish some of the commission work I have coming in for these helmets.
