heres some pics tell me wat u think.....oh and there is no t visor.Im working on finding a way to put in a face sheild.could u guys give me some help?????
also probaully tomorrow ill post pics of my in progress dc-17 commando blaster ok.
cool whatcha gonna use for a visor?
I will give you my rating, once you tell me if the silver/gold is ductape.
(for a visor, you could use a dark peice of plastic, sure itl be hell on your visibility, but with it dark inside the helmet itl be a pain to see into)
actually the silver scratches were painted on by myself but i made the helmet without painting it or anything while i was home sick from school.(made the helmet on the coach but painted the whole helmet on the weekend)and so Adeptus whats your rating????and i bet sombody is wondering on how long it took to build and paint???got up at 9-10:00 and worked on it the rest of the day for 8 days of the week but it still needs a visor.I was told by the dented helmet to make the visor from a welding face sheild grade 5 will that work???ill post pics for yah right now too on my Dc-17

giving hemet 9/10 gun 5/10
pretty sweet helmet for making it yourself.
i need ideas for a visor befor nov 30th
got up at 9-10:00 and worked on it the rest of the day for 8 days of the week.....
We have 8 day weeks now? 
Good job! What's the helmet made of?
I suggest using vellum. Its sort of papery.
its made from poster board then completely paper mached with 4 layers in other words its not very breakable its sorta almost like plastic!
Looks great so far! 
thnx im thinking of using a plastic clear material for the visor and putting on window tint onto it.
That should do nicely, but i suggest, a heavier tint.
thnx i will loook for a better tint also im painting the top of the bucket because my sister is sick and i need to baby sit her so tons of time to paint.
just so its not like grayish plastic
Go to the fabric section of your local wal-mart, and you will see two kinds of clear plastic sheets. one is plain clear, the other has a dark tint. get the dark tint, cut out two copys of your visor, and attach them both.....that should work pretty well. if you want to you can even triple layer it. you'll be able to see through it, and other people won't be able to see in, and it will be somewhat shiny, so it will look like its real. Does that help?
its great help thnx pheonix023 thnx alot ive been lookin for plastic but never thought it would be at wal mart but 1 ? how much is the plastic sheet???
That should depend on the size, if they have different sizes.
actuaaly my dad found some plexi glass in the basement.its the perfect sixe too.he told me that if he heat guns it for a while it will be flexible until it hardens up.
plastic is about a buck for 1' x 6'. although I'm not sure about whither you should use the plexiglass.....depends on what your helmet is made of, because if the material is too light, the plexiglass will make the helmet want to fall forward.
top of my helmet is a foam part of a bike helmet then paper machedand it looks good.
Oh yeah, good old stuff paper maché...love that stuff, so much fun to make weird things with. Made a Nefertiti hat out of it a few years ago for Halloween....man my neck was freakin sore by the end of the night trying to keep my head from tipping over backwards.....lol.
yeah don t yah love it............
