i made some small holes so far, they look really derpy at the moment but hope to clean them up maybe tommorow. whats best for that? i've heard sandpaper or files.

the cutting did make me worry about my hand shaking during this though.

Those fine jewelers files, and some sandpaper usually works well, just do a bit at a time, nice and slowly . Most importantly, evenly. Looks good and have fun with the build.

Pencil in your lines where you want to cut, that usually helps me. Then cut so you can still see your line, and then file/sand down to the line. I usually mark out the whole helmet, and go to town trimming. Good luck. Ask questions if you need it. Private message for immediate attention!

Hey Adam!!!

If you you need the french Blue paint and the curved scissors, I can pick them up (got a lot of shop here that have them) and you paypal me (LMK) no up charge not trying to make a buck just wanting to have the right stuff.

Anthony and Jason hit the mark (Spot on) take your time and mark the areas (like said before and post them up and we will be happy to tell you or mark it on the screen for ya to give you the best guidance...

I've got work soon but i'll try and set up a thread there when i'm home, as for the scissors and paint if you can get me a estimate i'd be up for that, i was just surprised nothing locally had what i needed.

and thanks jason, i put some light pencil marks around the eyes but i just had a small mechanical pencel and did those cuts with just a xacto knife
