Sheet Metal Helmet

[Keegan]

I know a guy and he's a sheet metal worker. He's using the pepakura layouts and cutting them out on sheet metal and welding them together.
It's started, but once i find my camera ill take pics!

Well despite all the scuff about people wanting to make/making their own metal armor...i am still curious to see how it would turn out. But on the large scale i still agree that metal armors pros don't out weigh its cons.
I still wanna see though! :mrgreen:

That could be quite heavy.

 

[Keegan]

well actually, some sheet metals are quite heavy, but most are actually very light!

 

[Warmonger]

thats true but theres alsoalways the hazard of getting cut

 

[honest insanity]

Well its certain that they are heavier than most fiberglass/resin armor. This makes it really hard to strap/velcro your armor to your body:blink: . To make that easier the pepakura would have to be perfectly sized to your body. I think theres a thread somewhere in the forums where Metal Armor was being discussed...now to find it lol

 

[Keegan]

my friend is a sheet metal worker, he professional does this stuff. and yeah, it wil be a little heavier
