The mask is looking great. I just meant I was surprised to see the thread because people are usually a bit more secretive about this mask.

You are really working fast there, my man. Gonna be great seeing it all painted and finished.

Edit:
Yeah, you gotta fix the pictures.

Also... I'm not secretive about mine... I just haven't really made any progress worth showing on it yet.

Here's a couple shades of gunmetal grey that I found locally ... The one on the left is Rustoleum brand (From Lowes), and the one on the right is a GM auto paint color (From Meijer). The auto body color is slightly darker, richer in color, and has a warmer tint to it. I think I'm leaning towards using that one.

I've coated all interiors with resin and auto body filler, and opened up the chin vent a bit more

Looks realy good so far .
Hope you have not ruined the most of the details ( bumps ,dents) while sanding and priming the whole helmet.
Well it's an TM , a screen cast , not a DP deluxe copy or something else.

No,

all the details are still there. I made a few small dents while working on it, that I had to fill. The ESB lid looked pretty smooth though didn't it? The teeth in most photos look smoother than what I'm seeing on the TM.

That's a great looking helmet you have there. You must have balls of steel to have modified it . I'm sure the finished helmet will look stunning . I'm really jealous :lol , I'd love to display that at home.
