3+ Hours. Some time, 2 days ago: Front of the mask section with left cheek plate assembly. ~4+ Hours. Last night: Right mask section with cheek plate on. +6 Hours. Earlier today: (Had some trouble with the zig-zag folds near the nose area, but I'd like to think that, with some tweaking, I got it.) Inside view of the mask section. ~9 Hours. Watching movies while waiting for glue to dry helps out. A LOT.: Starting of the neck ring section attaching to the mask plate. And also, Tango, I measured the belt pouches. Larger measured at 6 inches tall by 3 and a half inches wide, by on and a half inches deep. Smaller 3 and a half inches tall, 3 inches wide, and just short of an inch and a half. Let me know what you think!

Looking very good!!. Specially the face plate!!. I like the recession of the cheeks. The sides of the eyes should be more vertical. And check the references, specially the 360 turnaround for the correct shape of the dome. For example the forehead should be more angled, not falling so straight over the face. The bottom of the forehead should be a little forward. The whole dome should have a more pyramidal shape, not so straight. You may see that in the references. And you could also superimpose transparent images of the references (despite the low definition they have) over your helmet to see that the shape should be more pyramidal.
I also would suggest that you may start with the bondo and/or fiber in some of the great parts you are building to see how that works, or how it may affect the build of your next parts.
Good luck and keep the great work you are doing!!

Okay then! Took a few days off to recuperate. Should be back to work on this project shortly. I'll look for ways to reinforce the bottom of the forehead since its pretty flimsy so at a resting position, it tends to want to sink backwards.
If I'm cutting up a piece here and there for the fitting, I may be able to alter it so the helmet is more dome like. I'm hopeful that once I begin the resin process, I'll be able to fashion it to be smoother and a much better representation.
