right GM's, aside from a clean up, most of the major shapes and lines are the way I want em to sit. I have built the way I have built based on the ref images I have in my possession with arguments set out in posts before in this thread. At the end of the day, it only remains an interpretation of the lid.
In my eyes, I am done. Anything else you guy would like to be added in, now is the time.
The area below the beak will be be part of the cast - for those you want to build up on it, its possible. If not - you can just trim it off. a few weeks or wet and dry sanding and hopefully time for molding!

cool. I am currently in negotiations with a US maker to see if we ca do this as a joint project with moulds in both US and UK to cut down on prospect shipping costs too.
will let you know how I get on with the moulding, which should be sometime in the next month or so.

I've seen this in the flesh and it's gonna be really nice helmet. Great work on the face area and it is surprisingly roomy
