If I'm going to be clubbed I'll need a thicker Helmet
Then A Miracle Happened:
But no, it didn't.... I was working without checking on the so far completed 'Skull' (well that's what it looks like to me) and I got away from the proper relative sizes. and so far it looks okay. The cheek armour under the visor seems about right especially since the large round canisters under the eye sockets still need to be added.

I still have to pare down the nose and chin dart embellishments and I'm having difficulty reconciling the extra wide vertical strip under the nose; it looks too wide to me on the skull but less so on the 2D image. I like it thinner as it give the lower face a more refined look.

I'm going to have to bit the bullet and be less slavish to the prototype image and do what my instinct tells me looks best.....
So here is today's effort just tack glue in place temporarily.

and I'm already not liking the chin dart (What was I thinking???) but the roughed in nose seems pretty close to what I looking for.
