This is sooo bad ass. If this turns out good, and it's looking like it will, Then this belongs in the elite forum. Your sir, are incredible.
 
Dude its looking pretty cool Im only concerned about the cylinders if you are rondoing not that there will be a problem But just stcratch everything else and lets hope it looks like the real thing eh

I wasnt going to bondo the outside of the cylinders but was going to build it up to the point where i can paint it. I figure ill use epoxy sculpt if i need to go over it. But thanks for the tip. Ill eventually sand it with smooth grit before i paint.
 
Quick update:

The 'bits' are slowly being created then added. Bunnings (hardware shop) run tonight to get screw, bolts and maybe a pair of safety specs.

I really like to see Fallout builds and I must say your helmet looks just like the in-game screenshots, the curves are really fantastic. Amazing work!
 
Another update:

Just a few more bits added.

To do:
Add the eye screen (Safety specs cut in half.
Widen some holes for tube ends/
Modify the hinge and add it.
Add the screws.
Add some more bits on the sight.
Get some breathing tube.
Build the rear section where all the bits attach/join.
Then add LEDs and an arduino.

Thanks man. Its not perfect tho... Im hoping to cover the dodgey bits with an awesome paint job :)
 
Update:

Created the box at the rear where everything feeds back to. I was thinking about putting a fan in there but as i wont be wearing it for long periods not worth it.

Added more "bits" to the sight. Laser module will mount on the little round thing. 4 more screws will be added to the nose area, then will need some metal brackets to hold the tubing to the helmet.

The cool little details you add to this are really what makes it look awesome. Can't wait to see it painted up!

What he said lol!

Here we go :D

Another coat of primer to cover the bits i stuffed up while trying to get the eye glass done. (I have the option to get a laser cut bit which should be nice. Also thinking about laser etching a small recticle into it: Artistic license etc lol)

CHROME! I tell you what, the chrome certainly makes you aware of the faults! LOL. Ill cover it all under 'years of fallout and battle' or in other words rust and black coloured paint. Also painted the inside of the tubes black.

Now the final todo list is to:
Build a lamp.
Add the breathing vent to the front.
Design and cut the eye glass. Laser engrave recticle.
Weather paint.
Test and mount the electronics.

Cheers.
