i've started on an EOD helm

[fightstar]

SuperTaco - Nice work. I posted on the forums here expressing interest in making this helmet. Seems I need to get some experience making a few others first before jumping into this one. I love the look and your .pdo file is top notch. I am a n00b to this whole thing, but I have done my research. Pepakura is the way to go for someone like me just to make a costume with armor this year. Some people have new year resolutions to lose weight and some of use have nerdier goals (2007 resolution was to lose weight which I have done ). Anyway, I will have to start with something simpler before I attempt this one, but I just wanted to let you know I am inspired. Awesome work.

hey i'm just about done with this helm and it is beautiful btw. but tips for anyone else who decides to make this. add about .5-1 cm to ur normal helmet size. i always set my helmets at 27.5cm tall because those fit me perfectly, but because of the shape of this helm make sure to add a lil more so you chin doesnt stick out

ALL DONE!

Very nice!
My recommendation for a good visor is go to the dollar store and buy a crap load of gold tinted sunglasses and use the lens for the visor.
i say buy a bunch so you can try all sorts variations so you can see which tint you like best.

I just finished Slyfos EOD and i guess yours would have been a lot easier to assemble.

Is the updated file ready?

 

[supertaco]

almost there, i'm just about half way done with the unfolding.it should be up later tonight

I am so either doing this or the Hayabusa come summertime. Just because the visor is really easy. (It will probably be this awesome EOD though)

you know that hose thing on the sides of the helmet, i was wondering if i should make them part of the model or not.

Maybe do a seperate model that is more advanced that can be attached?

i'm 5' 11" and i scaled it to 27.5 like i do with all my helmets because i measured my head at 26.5cm so i added a lil bit of room and my CQB, MARK VI, and RECON helmet all fit perfectly, this one is tighter, yet still wearable

i agree i agree
