Update time! Helmet is finished! I wont bore you with lengthy descriptions or steps taken since I used the same techniques that others have used to achieve the weathered look with the paint. So without further ado... Heres the helmet with the LED's lit up. Here are the side...

I think your completion date is totally feasible. Foam is an awesome medium to work with and generally takes less time than the pep method. What you give up in detail you make up for with mobility, comfort and time.

Phenomenal work dude! I'm looking forward to seeing more of this one. +1 sub.

I know people hate posts with no pics, but I just had to update my thread with some info on why its taking me so long to complete the helmet. I've been trying to get the electronics right and its been giving me fits. I blew out one LED and then purchased a defective one to replace it. We only...

Plastidip wont actually cover the pattern. It might dull the pattern a little but it will still be quite visible after several layers of plastidip. Is the foam patterned like that on both sides?

Very informative tutorial Sara! Keep up the good work and keep those updates coming!

Last update! Well...the last update before I show off the completed helmet. Hehe. I figured out a way to solve the gap issues with the visor that didnt involve more bondo and a few more hours of sanding. Our hero "Craft Foam" to the rescue again! I also added the holes for...

As usual, awesome work! The mustard color has even grown on me somehow. More pics of cool stuffs please!

Woah! Exceptional foam work! Have you had any further luck with a visor? The opening is rather narrow so ski goggles might work. **edit - just noticed Vargatom suggested the same thing one post above- oops, sorry** You can get hundreds of varying ski lenses for goggles. Another option might...

No need to retract anything dude. I appreciate any and all advice and it can only help me out if I do forget something so please, keep it coming and dont hold back.

Update. I've been knocked down with the flu for the past week so I've had very limited progress. First I'll start with post responses then I'll throw a pic or two to show what I've been working on. I'm planning on installing a fan in the helmet to keep the visor clear and ,because of the...

Glad to see you're still building! I've enjoyed your build so far and I'm impressed by your creativity in using other materials. Keep up the good work!

Update time. I finished the padding for the helmet. I cut out paper shapes to test fit the foam pad placement and then transferred the paper shapes onto 1" foam. After I got all the foam shapes cut out and shaped up I test fitted them in the helmet. Next step was to...

Thank you for looking! I have several more pics at the end of this post. I appreciate it! I hope to have a nice looking helmet when it's all done. Well here we go! Pic heavy update ahead! I completed the hand plates. And per the recent requests... And even...

Ive been scouring the forums looking for an answer to this question and so far no luck. If I missed it and if this is the wrong place to post this question then I apologize in advance. I need to get my hands on a visor for my JFO Helmet as part of my Reach armor build. I've located about a...
