405th Unity project Idea (For charity, need volunteers)

ATTENTION: The helmet sold for close to $900

You can now follow us on the Soaring Hammer Forums ! - http://forum.soaringhammer.com/viewt...8&p=1178#p1178

Current helmet status : Helmet was signed by Steve Downs at HaloFest 2011!
Hello all

The other day, I was sitting around thinking of the 405th. I thought about the 3 words that are strung aross our insignia- Honor , Armor , Unity . I thought about the last 2 the most. And then I thought, What could we do that would unify members that involves armor. Well I thought that we could assemble a team to make a helmet and then donate it to charity. The Idea is for 1 person to make the pepakura, ship it to the next person who would re-enforce it and send it to the next person who would have a designated area of the helmet to work on who would then send it to the next ect, ect. Thanks guys! Your Questions and comments are welcome!

We will be building the MKVI helmet as it is the most Iconic.

Here is a list of people who will be working on the helmet. Sorry we are no longer accepting people as we have more than enough. . Thanks everyone!

Soul-Drinker (Pepakua work) - FINISHED
JBetts97 (Reenforcing) - In progress
Deus Ex (Bondo work)-
Nintendude (Bondo work)-
Sir Tsaboc (Electronics and Visor)-
Troubleis1983 (Final Paint Job)-

Troubleis1983 is DONE painting the helmet! The helmet is now on its way to SirTsaboc for the duel layer visor!! Updates will come as they happen!

Soul did a fantastic job on this one! (more pics on page 9)

The finished paint job! (more pics about half way down page 13)

Sounds interesting, the only question I have is what charity would get it?

Sounds great! Although I recommend you only do it to members you know by name on the forums. Don't send it to people that are relatively new (me included). There's a lot of good people in this world, but there's also a few bad ones. You wouldn't want to ship an almost complete helmet to someone only to have them run away with it

Besides that, I would love to see how a community oriented helmet would turn out!

A similar project was in the works but never got off the ground. See: The Traveling Helmet, started by Nintendude. Read through it for ideas on tracking and such... It's a great idea you have, one I would love to be a part of, just so long as it doesn't have the same fate as the first attempt...

So how would this work? Would we sell the helmet and donate the proceeds to charity? I could probably do the hardening with Smooth Cast 320.

I believe he means send the actual helmet to a charity.

I remember that project, it would have been great if it worked out, and to be a part of it

This is an excellent idea! This is something I would definitely love to get involved with! I generally specialize in post-casting (dremeling, fine details, painting by can or by hand)
