Halo Helmet Part 2

Well I forgot to add a link to that shirt I posted about last week, so here it is: HERE
And here is a similar shirt I made but with more of Link's swords. Bonus points if you can name all the games included in this shirt.

And here is the link for that: HERE

This week was busy, as always. I sold my shotgun that I talked about last week and a couple other things. I turned the money from said shotgun into ammo. Never know when you might need some, and its easier to have around then to buy every time you want to go out. Lets see... I got some parts for my leave alone boxes and soldered them together (more on that next week). I am taking my dog to the vet in about 40 minutes from right now while I write this. Finally I screwed up my helmet a bit.

When we last left my helm was in the first stages of being sanded, filled, sanded, filled, ext... Since that point I have added some of the lined details, I did this using a saw blade for a saws-all minus the saws-all. I drew the lines where I wanted them and then went over it many times with the blade. Doing it by hand allowed for more control. I have since bought some carving tools that would have made this easier:

I have argued with this helmet for a long time now. Parts of it are not working out, so I cut them out and started over:

You can see the lines I cut in the above pics, a curve on the back and a line on the visor. The parts I cut out refused to end up flat or symmetrical. So I cut them out and started over by cutting out pieces of plastic I had into the correct shape and fitting them into place with Bondo:

Why yes, it is sitting on a cutting board that I made from scratch, thanks for asking! Then I fitted my visor (protected by plastic wrap) temporarily so I could sand them helmet to match. This will be nice for the molds I pull off, they will fit this visor with no work at all. At this point I ran into trouble. I accidentally sanded the nose piece too far, then I remade it using Sculpy, and sanded that too far. Sigh. That is where the helmet stands right now. I need to figure out the nose piece, then I think I will cut out the vents and the flat area for lights and re-do them the same way. After that I will prime it, sand it, fill it, sand it, and prime it again. Once that is done I will make another update on it.
