Pipinacan security helmet and multiplayer build

[BLACKULA727]

Nice job my man, I was wondering how you would do the visor. However, I'm with you on the curved issue. I know they make good full faced bubble visors. Maybe that will give you a nice curve. Might be more than the 6.95. But, sometimes its worth it. I bought an $8 amazon visor and it was gabage. I only buy the good ones now. Either way Keep on building & trying new things! YOu inspire the rest of us.

Lookin good so far. Try this visor. It's what I used for my Halo 3 security, and will use for my reach security(when I get to it).

dude that sucks about the face visor, but have you ever thought about puting it in the oven on low temp for a bit then forming it over the pep visor....kinda like vac forming but your dont need the whole set up. just an oven, a cookie sheet, ove gloves and the visor and template..........hope i helped

Well 405th....I am sad, the visor I got in the mail was to short in width for my helmet, I changed that with magic scuplt, free hand editing woot! BUT when I was watching harry potter last night with the lady my room mate had a friend over, he wanted to see my helmets.......he picked up my security..............and dropped it what's worse was when I got home I didn't even check on it and no one told me till I confronted my room mate this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so here's a couple pics, not many, I'm thinking of how to repair if anyone has idears



the visor

Step 1: Hulk smash room mate.

Step 2: When I dropped my ODST and busted the whole beak out of the front of the jaw and split the jaw vertically, I just glued and taped it up tight and applied another layer of fiberglass to the jaw with more bondo outside to hide the fix. As for the beak thing, I just built up a tape wall in the shape of where it was supposed to be and poured rondo, then sanded to get the shape back as well as backing that up with more fiberglass. It's at the county fair at the moment or I'd post some pictures. Maybe tonight after I pick it up (overall grand champion in the senior models division by the way!). It worked out rather well and now I'm waiting on my casting materials, pep and bondo pieces are too brittle for my liking.

I had a similar situation with my MKVI. I used some dowels to brace the seam in place and then patched the crack using a thick layer of bondoglass on the inside and then just some bondo patch work on the outside. It will mean some paint fixing too but at least you won't need to scrap the helmet. If you have more questions just shoot me a pm and I'll try to explain further.
