JLight[TK] Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 Hey all, I wanted to post some pics of my helmet build. I would love feedback either good or bad. Whatcha think? Here it is right out of the box... Painting... Right after trimming out eyes and teeth. Still need to mod it for Hero Build. Disregard the vocoder. It has since been finished. I used Plasti-Dip to coat the inside... My attempt at making Hero Bubble Lenses I cut them out, used boiling water to soften them... Then placed them into helmet and pressed down with a towel This is the end result I used black modeling clay around the lenses and screwed the lenses in to them. Unfortunately, I didn't take photos of this part, but I could post the result later. I used Trooperbay stencils for the tube stripes and to paint vents on tears and traps. Still need to trim the screws on the inside, paint the ear screws white, mod the teeth and get a liner and fan. Next up...NE armor!! Quote
Dark PWF[Staff] Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 Looks good, Jonathan! Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 Looks good but you should either fill in the other teeth recesses or heat and push them flat, Hero lids do not have the extra teeth recesses Quote
edwardowan Posted September 24, 2013 Report Posted September 24, 2013 looks great! inventive solution for the hero lenses! paintjob is awesome... Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 Looking good and will love to see more photos. Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 If you borrow or buy a hobby iron, you might be able to massage those outer teeth flat. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 28, 2013 Report Posted September 28, 2013 If you borrow or buy a hobby iron, you might be able to massage those outer teeth flat. That's what I did but you still need to do a little sanding on the outside of the teeth, then polish, then you would have to re-paint, my hero lid mod is here Quote
JLight[TK] Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Posted October 2, 2013 Might be a stupid question, but are the mic tips supposed to be flat paint or glossy? I painted them glossy and have seen them flat. I have also heard a mixture between the both. Thoughts?? As far as the teeth, I haven't decided whether to use hot iron or ABS paste. But moving is taking over my time for now. Paul, anything in particular you would like to see more of? Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted October 2, 2013 Report Posted October 2, 2013 Just from different angles is all. Quote
