Final Note

I forgot to say that the helmet has a petal arrangement much like that used to make the prop spinners on aircraft. My method is to pre shape the part so that the petals are almost touching each other and to wet the inside with a generous blob of PVA. Layers of tissue are then pressed into this and the petals moved into place one at a time. Once dry the structure is quite rigid.

Great job on a challenging model! Thanks for the tip on petal formation. I'll be sure to give it a try.

He looks really good. I think I can easily understand why someone would decide to collect a large group of these figures.

As far as areas that would need to be touched up, I don't see them. Nicely done
