Cardboard Armor -Revised Helmet

[TheBlue]

Woot! New pictures!! Sorry for the double post, but this is so far down nobody would see it if i added anything :roll: .

The pictures here really don't do the helmet justice. It looks 2x better in up close and personal. The black makes it look shiny, but im going to get a matte green and repaint all my pieces, so stay tuned.


Enjoy!

looks good, are you going to paint and fiber glass the inside?

 

[TheBlue]

Might paint it, but im not going to 'glass it. Im also going to add padding since its just a bit long and big.

Yea I was thinking about taking the padding out of an old BMX bike helmet i had. Im not sure if it would work though.

 

[Leadingspartan]

i migt buy the padding at the site i listed they even have some cheap ones in there

back on topic how thick is the cardboard your using

 

[TheBlue]

It's Regular FedEx boxing material. Im not sure how thick exactly.

You could use some old padding from a bicycle helmet you don't use... That's what I'm gonna use.
