Flood's Mark V Armor Concept Thread

And where protective eye gear! Trust me it is a must do when using a dremel, especially on a hard plastic

Good point! When I did it, I was wearing face sealing safety goggles, a particle face mask, a lab coat and some gloves. That stuff is like sticky sand that gets everywhere, and theres a lot of it.

Who disturbs my fall slumber? Haha

I drill holes around the edges of the visor (not too close to the rest of the helmet). Then with, what I'm gonna call, a plastic cutter I cut from dot to dot. I dremel what's left and sand the edges smooth

Thanks for the advice! What kind of paint do you think would work best with the mold?

I personally prefer krylon, but for my stuff i went all out and went with dupli-color (car paint). Primed it, chromed it and then used metalcast for color

Finished cutting and painting the helmet. I'm very glad I got it ready for Youmacon with the Midwest regiment.

My 3D printer is working again and I'm thinking about printing the Mark IV armor MoeSizzlac was gracious enough to put up. This will get me some experience with Armorsmith and printing armor pieces. Should give my printer something to do while I finish the AR model I'm working on.

Don't give me ideas! I'm juggling enough projects as it is
