Long time since an update. This is due to the U.Ks weather -.-' *so cold*
As for the update...
All i've managed to do is fnished sanding and put a first coat of paint on the master.
Theres still some minor scratches ect so i need to get rid of those before casting.
I also thought il post this here as a before and after "thang" of both the old helmets
Everyone Starts some where

UPDATE:
Right so the helmet is now ready for casting and I'm going to be making a two part mold. I'll be using a Polyurethane Fast Cast Resin.
I've also made the "ear pieces", these are the disk shaped parts on the side of the helmet.
I started off using the top of a small hair gel pot and a part from an old Mc Donalds toy talk about being resourceful. I made sure that it was a symmetrical shape so I wouldnt have to make two.
I then made a mold of it and casted two out of fiber glass resin and sprayed them with some primer.
I filled in a few air wholes. I used pieces of plastic and glued them to the ear pieces.
Now im going to make a mold and cast them out of plastic as soon as I
order some.

I've started making the mould, I'm making a 2 part mould.
not much else to report, enjoy the pics
Also any suggestion on what to make the mould shell out of? I was going to just use car filler, or plaster bandages with car filler, im trying to avoid fiber glass matting.

I agree with what you're saying. The masks in costume are too light. If you ever get your hand on the Soviet-era gas mask the Metro-Cop masks are based on, look at the way the color works.
But all in all, this is a great improvement on the original work you did: the smoothing helps make it look more authentic. If I had to make a suggestion, I'd say that when you're wearing the mask, lean your head back a bit.
From what I can see, it looks like the way a head sits inside of the mask causes the whole thing to pitch forward, making your head look taller. If you could find a way to stuff it so it pitches backwards, I think it'd help.
(The reason I suggest this is because I'm building an Overwatch helmet, and I've encountered a similar problem)
