I've spent about $75 trying to making mine

First time using bondo (the fiber-glass filling would of been a better choice I think), and power tools since jr. high so I expected it to not be perfect but it has been fun making it. I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it before the 31st for Sander K/Spun-o-ween (definitely won't be ready for Andy Moor/1015) with my manager quiting this past week, leaving his workload to me and midterms coming up but will try. Even if I do get the shape finalized, I'm more worried about the reflective metallic/chrome painting :whip: |

yes, lots and lots of sanding, so much that I just ended up buying an inexpensive black & decker 3 speed rotary since I didn't want to bring it into work everyday to use the tools there plus I usually work on it late at night after class. You;ll need the rotary tool for the ears and hard to reach places anyway.
thinking about working on a Guy helmet once things calm down at work and if the plastic shop I went to for the visor is able to make a clear helmet/oval sphere. |

| to be honest i HIGHLY doubt they are allowed to make an reproductions of the helmets. mostly beacuse of not wanting copys and people posing as you. |
