First Post = Hi!
I first got into the prop making hobby doing lightsabers and since I registered here I have been reading and learning some new things and wanted to try finishing up a helmet. This is my first attempt and it has been very satisfying so far.
The cast I bought after some sanding and filing:
Primed:
Sanded:
With more sanding and tusks:
Since it doesn't need to be too shiny, I was going to try epoxy appliance paint/epoxy gunmetal for the final coats. Currently it is just bondo and 3 coats of primer wetsanded down to a 1500 grit. I have read most threads I could find and watched some videos but still any advice from experts is welcomed.
Thanks for looking.
