Sorry for the double post but I had a question that has been bugging me all day. The color I have chosen to use on my helmet is the Krylon "True Blue", and I wasn't completely sure which color visor would go best with it. I was leaning more towards a custom look but I wasn't sure.
I know the image is junk but it was a quick one I took to use as a reference to the color I was using.

I think a regular visor would look fine. More in-game realism, IMO.
Blue Team FTW.

Slight update:
Started putting fiberglass cloth on the inside, sadly couldn't finish the whole inside because I ran out of the "L" compound. Big gust of wind knocked most of it on the ground, and lost about 3oz. Ordered more and I have some update pics.
I realize my fiberglassing job isn't the best, but I think it is good for my first time using fiberglass cloth.
True, can't go wrong with standard visor. I did a color test in photoshop and I am pleased with it.

lol, no it was only moved to be used on a larger TV.CPU64 said:Empty Wii stand? I wonder if the Dreamcast got rid of it
What I have on it now it has alot of strength, and before I put the fiberglass in it yesterday it got knocked on cement by the wind, and I didn't see any structure damage (that was with 2 outer coats and the shreaded/resin mix on the inside).rvb4life said:Recon is my favorite perm of all (probably cuz nobody can have it
How is the aqua resin holding out for you? it looks pretty good at this point.
*UPDATE 5/28* Got another trial set in the mail yesterday, and just finished putting fiberglass in the rest of the helmet, going to add another coat to the outside later today or tomorrow, then I will put some of the fiberglass vail overtop of the fiberglass cloth for a smoother, strenghtened inside.
*UPDATE 6/1* Since friday I have been working on smoothing the helmet, it is not easy but I am making progress. I currently have the top and part of each sides smooth. I will try to add some pictures on monday/tuesday.
*UPDATE 6/2* Did more smoothing not completely done yet but I have made some progress. Heres some update pics, I am currently working on the top of the helmet.

Looking good Quad! I hope you're still enjoying the A.R.
Dunno if you've used the veil yet, watch out for splinters on the edges XD I'm still picking some of the shards out of my hands because I accidentally picked up my torso without my gloves on XD

@SCG Yea I like working with the A.R., didn't have much trouble with the veil, I wore gloves so I haven't gotten any in my hands, and I covered the inside over all the fiberglass with more resin to keep it from stabbing me in the head and ripping any padding I put in it.
@RVB Started using Bondo body filler, and I must say that it is definitely hard to work with, but being smooth its getting there.

If you have ever looked at the in game recon visor, It's actually ORANGE (like the legendary helmet visor).
The recon helmet visor is the only visor wich isnt gold...

Actually it's not, the Recon visor is the same color as all the others. The reason it looks slightly different is because it's smaller than the others and doesn't reflect the light in the same way (the Hayabusa is similar)... this only works for those with the armor in-game, but if you go to the appearance setting and switch though all the different helmets you'll see that it's exactly the same as the restFinnish_Spartan said:If you have ever looked at the in game recon visor, It's actually ORANGE (like the legendary helmet visor).

It's looking good. There's still quite a bit more smoothing to go though .

@ Belakor : That's kinda the same thing with the EOD, or is it really orange?

Your smoothing is gonna need a lot of work like rvb said, and i'd be careful not to go overboard on the spot putty. It can crack if you put it on too thick.
looking at it though, the recon looks like it would be REALLY easy to smooth. Not very many undercuts at all.
