Woh! That's fast in between each layers.darth nacho wrote:puty...sand...puty...sand....
this weekend primer...puty...sand.....
hope by sunday...paint...detailll.....paint....
Just make sure you allow each layer, especially Putty and Primer layers to dry for at least 24 hours and later make sure nothing hard hit it.
I had to rush my helmet earlier this year, primer, repaint and clear coat it within 1-2 weeks and now it chip "easily" when something hard hit it. Then again, I was using Krylon and the recommended drying up time in between layers is 7 days.
Can't wait to see your helmet completed.

I think one of the tell-tale of a Kellog's Helmet is the bottom which curved inwards:

And the Fin is way to short for the proper look of the AOTC Clone Helmet so it HAS to be either extended or replaced completely. Can see the Kellog's Helmet here and how it was modified back then:

For the look of it, I dun think this helmet is Kellog's.
