first model. any suggestions?

[ighosti]

Im currently trying create my own Ironman helmet/head. I'm very new to xsi, but very eager to learn. I've only created the goldish part and am a bit stuck on how to finish the rest of it. I thought it would be easier to split it into two objects and then merge them, but it seems rather hard for me. Are there any other ways to do this aside from creating another sphere and adjusting each point, or using the create polygon tool?

Here's a picture to help understand what I've completed so far...

You could always make a clone, scale it by -1 on the x-axis, place it next to the original half. That way you only model one half while the clone gets updated. You can even have the original in low poly while the clone is in sub-d.
