I am currently on this step in building the helmet. What I am going to use is a sheet of hard plastic. I found it at Hobby Lobby by the Stain Glass window section for 2 bucks. It's clear and I have yet to find some gold tint for it. The sheet is big enough to do the Dual Layer Visor and I plan...

I am a draftsman. If I had any artistic talent, i would be able to draw Techincal drawings of the Armor for metal production. the CAD system I use won't read model files and it doesn't like free hand sketching. My wife finds my new found hobby a little over the top. Word to the wise, when...

Hot Glue I used Hot Glue for my Helmet. Get the Low Temp kind and it's not as Hot. It's still HOT and hurts.......you could use a thimble, look in the sewing section for one of those.

Just curious how we get to fill in the public information for the Profile. I see some have done it, but when I click on my profile. that section doesn't show up. Is there a number of post you have to make in order to be able to update this?

Fiberglass it Use Fiberglass on it. It's fairly easy once you get the ratio down. Follow the instructions and do it OUTSIDE. I've just finished fiberglassing mine. It's worth it, to have a helmet that will last. Next up. Sanding and finishing.

Fiberglass it Fiberglass isn't as hard as it seems. I just finished my first Pep helmet and fiberglassed it. Just follow the instructions and do it OUTSIDE. I now need to sand it and bondo some areas where the folds "warped" a little. I would recommend that you put the paper visor in for...

Update I've been away for awhile and so I looked up Rank insignia for the Navy. I found this one for Master Chief and was considering using it (modified of course) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:MCPO_GC.png I know there are no insignias on the armor, so is this a lame idea? The more I...

What I have found so far Thanks. I searched Google and found one I think might be it Search Results it was the first image that popped up. I didn’t know if there was an “official” one out there. I thought about looking in both games at the Multi Player icons, but I haven’t had a chance do that...

Greetings, Does anyone have a drawing of the Spartan II Insignia? I know it has an eagle on it, but was curious if there was one floating out there. Thanks JFKWarEagle
