Reach EOD helmet

[thorssoli]

Don't worry about sending them. I've had a brainstorm and I'm working on something subtly different to go in the same place. I'll post pics once I've got them done. Mostly I was hoping you could post pics of the labels or else post the labels themselves.

EDIT: I'm not sure what I'm going to go with, but it'll likely be one of these:

I've seen a few people do Eod's (me included, was my first attempt)and this looks incredible.
In total how many hours did you put into this?

Man those look really great, I like the fact that they have a humor side to them, the one I put on the helmet is unreadable, Thanks for posting them up for us to see

Im not sure how many hours I put into finishing it, I think it was around 2 weeks with a few hours here and there, I know when i was building the EOD I was also asked to build the MKV A helemt for a fan film so that slowed me down some but the average helmet takes me around 2 weeks to complete working on it a few hours a day

Im just using Smooth Cast 320 and adding in so-strong black color dye to the neutral plastic for the black color look, you can get Smooth Cast ONYX which is already black but it cost more than 320, I don't have the link at the moment I would just look up Smooth on urethane and it should come up on google

I still need to print out all of the decals for the markings, but I'm getting close to done with my kit:


I'm very happy with it and Hyperballistik is a pleasure to deal with. If you're on the fence about getting anything from him, I'd have no problem giving him my endorsement.

Thorssoli,

Wow, you did a really good job painting the EOD bucket, love the weathering effect and I can not wait to get my hands on mine.

Thanks thorssoli, also the helmet looks great, Please post pics when you complete it, looks like the green color is popular

Truly awesome detail here, i think that blue wire colorblind tag would be pretty awesome on it

After a month of work I am finally done with my EOD Helmet. Please note that this is my first time I have ever done this.

Here is me wearing the helmet.

Side view (Sorry about the bad photo I don't have a light tent big enough.

Looks good man, you still need to put the little things that go on the front nose part, best way to attach them is with either hot glue or epoxy putty

I decided not to attach those because A, I did not like the way they looked B, they don't really fit that well on the helmet.

[Hyperballistik]

Im not sure if your talking about Dutchs casting or the actual EOD helmet I built, all i did was add bondo where it needed it and sanded away, after working with Bondo for so long, Its like second nature to me

Your work & others like yours, inspire us (noobs) to try harder & not to settle for "almost good enough".

Thanks, I appreciate the comment........ But I also think you do some amazing foam work that others look at and want to achive the same results and to top it off you scratch build it, that is some serious talent and your builds are fun to watch to see what you come up with next
