Frosty's Security- Wip

[FrostyTheSnowMan]

ok so i have been lurking around the forums for a while now, hiding in shadowy corners, crouching behind bushes and the like.

i decided that instead of the traditional noob armour and doing MK-V/VIi would do a security helm, as it is my favorite.

here is some of my progress over the last few weeks, havent had much time to work on it as i was at tafe and now am back at work

Very nice

Nice progress so far! What do you intend to do for the visor, as the security visor seems to be a very obscure shape.

 

[markanator13]

looking great dude!

 

[HaloGoddess]

Well, I have seen your pics and it's looking pretty good so far. How do you plan on doing that visor? The visor of that helmet seems like a tricky one to make.

 

[mchammertime]

I did a fair amount of research for the security many moons ago. The only thing I came up with for visors were pilot visors, which are hella expensive. maybe vacuum form?

 

[DerKraken]

maybe vacuum form?

Ding! Try PETG in 1/16"



It can be tricky, but you'll get good results with practice.

 

[phydeoux]

Well I suppose you will probably finish yours before I finish mine.

Due to financial issues.

And my plan for the visor was to use vacuum forming,

so if you get to that step it would be nice to see how well that method works.

Vacu-forming = no gold mirror tint.



How or where could you get a gold tinted, mirrored, security visor?

 

[FrostyTheSnowMan]

yea for my visor i was gonna try the vacu forming method, if i could figure out a way to get a gold/ yellow tint onto the plastic while keeping it fairly see through.

does any1 know somewhere in Brisbane Australia that u could buy some square sheets of plastic?

 

[phydeoux]

For the gold tinting there is one-way-mirror window film which might work; putting it on the outside of the visor will create a golden mirror but the inside can see right through it. google will find online stores to buy this from.



for the sheets of plastic, best bet would be in buying it over the internet as well.

 

[kupokitty]

Heh. I think the Security helmet looks vaguely like a ping pong ball. It's looking good so far!

 

[FrostyTheSnowMan]

hey guysss, i got lots of progress since i started this thread , which i should have considering how long ago i started it
