Recon W.i.p

[daftndirekt]

well i decided to redo my entire recon helmet this weekend. The other one was just too frustrating to work with because the cardboard i used was way too thick


*update*

looks real symetrical great job, nice pep work too.

where did you get your recon pep file??

 

[alexvago]

[Carpathia]

Is the green helm your old one? They both look really good.

 

[Das Brutus]

Well done! I haven't peppped a helm yet, but when I see work like this, I feel I kinda have to!

Wow! With that cardboard, the pep looks really solid! Very clean build. What exactly did you use? Is there a specific weight you buy?

well im not really sure what kind of weight it is but its the exact same thickness of the cardboard used for cereal boxes
i hope that makes sense


sorry it took so long for the update, i was into some intense matchmaking games earlier
oh yeah i almost forgot. i am baffled about how im going to do the "tube" part of the helmet. any ideas?

 

[Carpathia]

What do you describe as the "tube" part of the helmet? (woohoo!! 60th post = Veteran!!)

 

[rvb18]

[morteg15]

ah ok the pic helps thank you
i would suggest rubber tubing
the most common kind i see is black
i have it on my aircompresser and a camping power cord
you should be able to just pick up some from a Home Depo

 

[daftndirekt]

thanks for the compliments. i decided to just use some wire covering for the tube part or whatever its called . i also got the faceplate thing done too. almost ready for fiberglass and bondo

 

[eggfooyoung]

Oooh, a new unfold could be a nice add to the wiki.

Oooh, a new unfold could be a nice add to the wiki.

If you want i could upload the unfold i did. its scaled up to 28 though.

looks good man! looks really smooth! i did a recon myself. LOTS of bondo lol, but this looks a lot easier to bondo.
