S42 - Noble 6 Armor

[S42]

hi braytak, basically I used hot glue to add the visor to the helmet. the upper edges I needed to use some screws to apply.
In the first way I used the hot glue on the center parts of the visors top and bottom and thats it. after the visor was added I used hot glue from the outside to "fill" the open spaces so the visor nor fits 100% to the "helmet"

good thing is, if the hot glue turns cold you can easily remove it from the visor (but you should try this first with some spare-parts.

sorry for not updating the last week but I have been really busy these days.
Finally I managed to adapt the lights. It was quiet a hard way to cut through the helmet (strange feeling being close to destroy what took so long ) but it all turned out to be quiet well. Even if the lights arn't 100% aligned I guess the result is ok.

I used 4 highpower LEDs each side and a big bat-pack since I want to add some cooling devices to the helmet (as told some posts before).
Here the pics:







And last but not least I don't want to deprive the padding of the helmet:

Lights look good to me. Heck thats some foam padding in there, I'd never get my huge melon in it!

 

[ventrue]

What exactly did you use for the padding anyways?

Nice paint job

+1 with ventrue, what did you use for the padding?

 

[braytak]

yea what kind of padding is that , and i think it looks great but i always feel we are the hardest on our selfs

 

[S42]

don't tell me nuts but... I used some heating pipe isolation
That allows to adjust it right as you need it what might be of special interesst for active?! hu? ;D
The whole padding did cost about 3€ and will later be hot glued to the inside. right now (even while not hot glued) it allows me to do a handstand without loosing the helmet

Nice paint job

Thank you very much

Hi everybody, sorry for not updating anything but I was not able to do anything new due to some renovation work and christmas preparation stuff
But I do have a question regarding the weight of your helmets. Could you give me some info about it? I'm wondering if the helmet I created is a bit too heavy?!
My scale shows 2.8kg / 6.17pounds

 

[Breci]

Mine is : 1kg without bondo and only one layer of polyester resin and fiberglass (300g/m²)

 

[S42]

Hi Breci, thanks for input. "only" one layer of fiberglass? how stable is your build?
I guess my next helmet will not be children proof but less in weight, the only question is the required strength...

[S42]

Thanks a lot

I just bought some material (chickenwire + ducktape) to create a full size dummy, so hopefully I'll find some time to start with the armor.
Also I found somebody that also is interessted in building armor so maybe things will be faster in the futur
