Tonight I got the old helmet outside and put a sanding disk on and got rid of the weird welded look, problem was the gaps were still there in some places which was a right pain… so anyway after a bit of head scratching and, to be frank, swearing. I came up with a plan to try and cover it with PVA…
Hopefully it will cover the cracks… I also smoothed out the rough foam and rounded out bits to make them more natural looking… it really helped with the eye sockets.
I also managed to get the light Infantry just about finished…
Of course I do have my trusty reference material handy 😂 I actually bought this years ago as I was doing some stuff in Greeks in a school and wanted some useful snippets of information.

Looking good there. How easy is the foam clay to work with once dry?
Cheers,
Pete.

The foam clay is weird stuff, it is almost like thick slime when wet, but turns out like EVA foam when dry. I will have a bash at making something this weekend and testing it for you.

I really need to pick up some of those books. Would be great for painting reference, shield designs, etc. I think my main problem is trying to decide just what books to buy, and I then give up because I want too many of them.
I think that helm is going to turn out pretty awesome.

Cheers mate, I tend to buy them when I am painting an army or two, or like I said, when I go into school in costume, they are handy for a bit of colour.

You have any favorite ones by chance? I’m thinking I should just buy a few at a time, and slowly build up a library. Mostly for inspiration for Fantasy games.
