LOL, thanks.
Coming down to the home stretch now. There are a lot of small steps toward the end of a helmet build, and I'm
going back and forth finishing things up. The arches have to be masked on the ears, they have to be fitted and adjusted,
the Borden needs to be detailed and installed, final weathering and clearcoat, assembly of the RF. . . all that fun stuff.
I'm well into those stages now, and it would be too crazy to take pics of all those steps. So I've included just a couple of
shots for this update.
First we have the RF ear arch being masked, and then the result. The ear is actually complete as of right now. I took these
pics late Friday.
Next is the weathered aluminum stalk. I add some rusty spots and then add a wash of a dirty rusty shade
to make it look more like aged stainless steel.
Finally, the googly eyes have been put in position.
Wait. . . what??
Just kidding, Matt!
The eyes obviously belong on the Pre-Pro 1 version! Feeling a little silly this afternoon.
The helmet is in the final assembly stages now, and the next update will include the finished pics.
Soon!
