Spartan Helmet made out of Construx..

[GruntOfAction]

Alright im not sure how many of you know of Construx but basicly they are almost like legos. I have been making scale model vehicle "frames", to say, for a few years..Hell back in 2002 I had a 1/6th scale warthog for my actionfigures. But now I have made a fully wearable helmet.

Now granted its not what you would call "complete" because I don't even have a visor or an outer shell of it..Its basicly a foundation for one if I ever want to try to make one..


And the little oval looking thing in Picture 4 is the neckbrace that keeps the helmet on your head by securing it around your neck..Yes, you can still breathe in it.

I was lucky and found them on ebay.

It looks almost just like the Halo Wars helmet. Kinda creepy, but amazing!

I wish they were still making them...Now my goal of making a 1/1 scale warthog out of them is all but ruined..lol.
