mitcheg1[501st] Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) OMG! I think I'm finally done!!! Hours of sanding later and I'm super stoked with how this turned out! Now, I just need to mold and cast it! No way am I trooping with this 10lb bucket on my head! Edited September 13, 2015 by mitcheg1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-1422 Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Simply fantastic workmanship! I have some spare clear smoke ABS that would work for the lenses, but I can't form the bubbles for you. Feel free to shoot me your address at kchristley@gmail.com and I'll send you a sheet or two that should work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have managed to find some clear PETG that I plan to form into a lens and dye with iDye Poly Black. I'll post pics when I get to that step. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitcheg1[501st] Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Tonight's progress! Rookie Mistake #1: don't place your registration keys so high on the helmet. May need to add a 3rd seam down front! Hopefully tomorrow when I open this up and see the interior of the mold, I'm not forced to start this process all over again! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
