dyops[TK] Posted January 30, 2018 Report Posted January 30, 2018 I'm really close in finishing my armour. I was hoping to know which black paints (glossy, satin, flat/matte) were used to paint the different areas of the helmet (visor, teeth, etc.). From what I see, around the lens (visor) is glossy black, teeth are matte black, and the mesh and the stripes are satin black. The parts that I am not sure are the trapezoids. Are they glossy or satin? Also, would it be possible to know how the lens is attached to the interior of the helmet? Quote
First0rder[TK] Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 Your correct on the Black, I did Traps in Gloss. As to the lens, i did this: Epoxied the Chicago screws base to the inner of the helmet and allowed to dry. then i layed the lens over and used a black sharpie marker to jot where to drill the holes. finally used the screw to secure.

FN1313[TK] Posted October 18, 2018 Report Posted October 18, 2018 I know the strip above the eyes is Matte. I did the teeth with a matte finish, but everything else that is black in gloss. I think I have some pictures of how I did the visor. I used some Tee-nuts that I epoxied to the sides of the helmet (Over the ears) then I drilled holes into the visor and used screws to put them in. for added strengthening and protection of the Tee Nuts I used some Apoxie sculpt to just cover them up a bit. This last image is completed so if you zoom in you can kind of see the matte in the teeth and around the brow. Quote
