Fantastic Work! As a movie model/propbuilder just want to point out that the red stuff is spotting-glazing putty. Bondo is usually the gray/pink heavy paste that uses a catalyst. some people in the shop actually got so quick at applying Bondo filler with a plastic wedge that they didnt even need spot putty.

I realize I'm a little late, but those are ACH pads. The ACH is the helmet the Army issues us. They have a velcro side because the ACH has velcro spots in the helmet so we can put them where they're supposed to go. Each pad goes in a specific place.

[@z3k3586]

Ur helmet file... is amazing. Gorgeous. Beatiful. Top of the line. I printed it using simplified 3d. I tryied something new. I rotated the model 45 degrees. Added supports. Rotated 45 in the opposite and did supports on the other side, so no supports from the plate. I avoided the middle visor support by doing 45s off the lips. Took 66 hours. But man it is the best I've seen so far. Finished the bondo part. Onto sanding now. Im going to try to paint it the same too. Great video!

[@oNAGAo]

Scale/Sizing Question: I purchased this file and I would really appreciate it if you could provide some advice for finding the best scale/sizing to use for the model before printing. It seems like the file for the helmet is scaled differently than the rest of the armor (which have all turned out phenomenally, by the way) - After a lot of trial and error, I settled on a 95.43% scale for the armor thus far, but doing the same for the helmet makes it look like a bobblehead when I line them all up virtually within Cura. I'd like to measure twice and print once, so is there any help you can provide?

[@Hellooooo378]

No reply lol

[@TheRobRhodes]

For future people that have this same question. I sliced the helmet file just above the visor and printed a small 5mm high section to make sure it would fit on my head and resized from there. The one gotcha with mando helmets is the cheek indents, which are smaller than the head part. So, you want to cut and test print a 5mm high section from there as well.

Nice job ! What a great helmet ! with the putty and primer your on the right track, just a hint after you have sprayed on the primer grab a can of black......any black.....and lightly mist the whole helmet.
