ODST Visor Advice?

[Caeden Ringor]

So for the past year or so I've been working on a set of ODST Armor, and I've finished the foam fabrication part for the Chest, torso, helmet, and the shoulders are almost done. But one issue I've been thinking on is the Visor for the helmet. I for one don't have the resources for vacuum forming(i think that's what its called)and I don't have the cash to buy one as of right now. basically what I want to know which is better. trying to make my own? or buy one off of Etsy?

a good cheap way that I'm going to do when I get to it is to buy these plastic sheets off etsy for visors($20): Flexible Metallic Visor material

and then follow this tutorial for construction, just don't follow the spray painting/film part because these come like that.

I bought the same plastic material that he4thbar mentions and made my own template that would fit the foam ODST bucket that I made.

Feel free to use this to see if it fits your bucket.

These are both great options, but Sean Bradley's visors on etsy are the closest thing to perfect int his world :b

Yeahhh, but then I can't say I 100% made the build myself.. Thats really the only thing that has me deciding between the two, Maybe I'll just fork out the money when the time comes.
But you always want to measure first in case it doesn't fit.
