Visor helmet help

Hey guys I'm new to cosplay and I'm currently working on my odst helmet. I dont have the galactic armory helmet I have another I bought off Etsy. I'm currently building 2 one for me and my bro. Problem is the visor works but there's gaps on the sides and I have no way of officially supporting the visor. The visors are galactic armory. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Odst paints

Hey guys, currently working on an ODST suit.

I've printed most of the torso pieces, sanded and primed them, now I'm looking for some paint colours.

I've found a paint shop that custom makes any colour of car paint, now I'm spoiled for choice.

Wanted to have a slightly darker grey for the suit, and wondered if anyone had any colour recommendations?

Another issue is the helmet.

It was my first print and the more I sand the armour, the worse the helmet looks.

There's later lines on the back half on the helmet top section, plus some horrible layers on the upper jaw section.

Should I add some knifing putty (in england so no bondo spot glazing putty), then sand at 120, 240, 400, then re wet sand to 600, re primer and repaint?

Also have ordered some webbing tape, to help attach it to the plate carrier.
