Thanks for the props!
Here are the latest pics of the helmet as it sits tonight. It is for the most part, done, but i do need to refine the fin some. The back of the fin is not quite right. Then there gaps and scratches that need to be filled. Oh, and the range finder too. Gotta make that also. The first set of pics is of the helmet next to one of Marcelos phase one helmets, just for size comparison. I did also address most of all the issues that were brought up with the helmet to the best of my ability.
And here is a pic of the brow. Its a bit different than the live action phase two brow. Still needs a little tweeking, but its close.

About the fin,maybe its not too proportional? As in,the end on the backside of the fin should be much closer to the back-center?
I don't know though,i only see pics of this trooper from the front,you'll know better
Oh is the 'nose' intended to be not straight?
Its amazing like every one of your build to see the transformations from its original look,always top notch!

I has teeth and a mowhawk now! Oh, and an RF too!
As sad as it sounds, it took me about 10 hours to build the RF unit. LOL
Its made from 1/8 styrene and a lot of patience. Although the pic shows the RF stock to be round, it wont be that way in the kits. Im going to have the stocks cut from aluminum and the round pivot piece will be machined aluminum as well. I will also be offering the aerators in either solid resin or hollow machined aluminum.
build up of the RF unit.....
Helmet pic.........
I still have a little clean up to do on the bucket and then i have to plug up the neck opening and it'll be ready for molding. I'll probably be posting up the molding process here as well if anyone has interest in seeing how its done. Till next time!

I'm pretty sure in Florida, somewhere, there is the fountain of Evo. I need to seek it out and drink from it, cause maybe someday, I will be granted the skills of the prop gods
