Hi Will, I'm not on FaceBook if that's what you mean :)

Here is the finished helmet. The attachments for the oxy hose were also printed in pla. I then finished them up and made a mold (my first one) after which I cast them using an aluminum filler (more learning experiences). Not as metal looking as I wanted but better than painted. Naturally I did some interior work as well by printing some fan guides and attachments to keep the visor clear. The were painted Krylon chrome and brushed over afterwards with steel wool.

That is some high level prop making. Have you showed it off at RPF or anywhere like that?

I use Vellejo paints for brush painting all the time. I never tried them through my airbrush. Nice results on you part What do you thin them with?
