Actually I don't have much to say on the Neck seal ! I got around.. 5 to 7 Pleats...and to make matter worse ! I actually used a Snake that I laid down from the Back and up around the shoulders and to the Front and so forth !!! all the way to the Neck till I ran out of Snake !
Then I tapped it down a bit… to make it stick to the Under base… after that I used a “ROUND Toothpick” ! Dipped in Vaseline!!! To Crease the snake rolls! or “ Bellows “ like you call yours....
I also made sure the armor outline stayed Clear .... by that I mean DEFINED.. and not Swamp with Putty !
I coated the Pleats with a light smear of Vaseline with my Gloved finger !!! just to Smooth out the thing.... I might revisit the Pleats later with a little Sand paper to refine some of the edges….
Sorry !!! I just went by Ear.... sorry ! I should have taken more shots… for sure…
and yes.. mine to do look like small bellows now that you mention it !!! LOL
It is such a small area.... that I didn't bother do too much with it.... I just wanted a few Folds and Wrinkles to Blend with the Helmet !!!
With that material…. AveS putty… if I don’t like… I can always sand it down and start over… it’s not that expensive… you have a good 2 to 4 hrs to play with it…. Before it hardens’.
Always Remember.... to prevent sticking.... make sure you use Vaseline to let your tools Glide... on the material ! and it doesn't affect the hardening of AveS putty !
