Marine helmet Build [WIP]

[Ranger Jean]

I am making a marine helmet from a hardhat, chicken wire, and bondo. maybe wood too.

More as I go, gonna add a headset, 2-way radio, and lamps.

Here is a reference photo I am using, a lot of it is going to be wood, scratching the use of chickwire, but might still need to use bondo

Hahah, I can't wait to see the hardhat turned into that helmet Good luck!

Bondo must be used haha.

 

[Ranger Jean]

Not going to use bondo actually, I found an old hockey helmet I am gonna use with foam and wood to make a good helmet, and then use a silicon to fill in the gaps and hold everything in place.

Oh, and got one of these at a warehouse recently: ($5)

Wish me luck! (gonna go grab the hockey helmet one of these days, maybe tomorrow with Jason =p)

 

[wiyumishere]

goodluck

Well, returned the Jig and got the Craftsman as compensation from the manager, and it has issues aswell, but gonna look at it a little closer, but it does work.

I am NOT getting the hockey helmet because the guy wants $15 for it, it had a visor, padding, and was the right shape, but I don't have $15.

Oh, and here are some things I made (they are fake) for a pretend game my buddies and I play in our free time: (Army Man)

Various grenades (with screw heads that work, and one with an ejecting pull pin), a bomb (just a for-looks block of wood), and a flag pole.

They are orange for safety reasons, like the tips of a BBgun or a dummy-nade. Gonna make the game much more fun! oh, gonna be making more of these since I have a bunch of stuff to make em. Its all junk from around the shop =p. I had fun today just working in the shop.

Man! I love the way those gernades are lookin!

And since Army Man is a pretend game, but we still use BB guns and etc for weapons (props), all the grenades and stuff are durable and ready to be thrown!

 

[Ranger Jean]

Made 2 more, these are scrapwood from school that cracked when they were turned, so I cut it in half and make a high explosive grenade (the one with the action-hinge), and a smoker (with the pull-nail).

[Ranger Jean]

with a boom hopefully, lol, looking for squirtguns from friends to make into realistic prop guns, they can look like a cheesy Super Soaker for all I care, lol, I can work with it.

Project ended due to lack of supplies and time, I will be cleaning consoles and fixing them, if you want me to post more about that I can make a thread about it. As long as I am allowed to, doing a 360 tonight, I have a whole list: Xbox, Xbox 360, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, VHS Player, DVD Player, CD Player, Game Console Controllers (from all consoles listed), Computer (Various Parts), Printer (Inkjet), Video Camera (VHS and Digital), Camera (digital and film), and Laptop (Dell Latitude C6100).

I may have more, you can send me unwanted (working or not working) game consoles to do demonstrations on, I may do a video series aswell, I have multiple video cameras and props to use.
