Excellent work so far, looking forward to seeing more. How did you get those giant card board pictures?
Thanks DaSlcker,Your pieces are coming along nicely and look great, keep it up
your Mk[V] looks good too.
I have an idea but i dont know if it works.
If you look at the visor of the helmet you can see 2 effects. The inner part is shiny and the part on the outside isn’t shiny (I think the word is matt but I don’t know exactly)
_____________________________________________________
I have my gold / silver (what ever) mirrored visor, like this one
Now put at the shiny part your Tape on.
Like this
Now put the cellulose thinner (Nitro
) over the visor, the Nitro should scratch the visor easily and made this MATT effect.
Pull off the Tape, und now you should have the shiny and the matt effect.
I hope the Idea works because nitro is very agressiv to the visor so i have to be carefull. This f**king visor cost 50€. So wish ma luck
What are you thinking of this Idea?? Any other Ideas?!

I think that what you are seeing in that image might not be a matte/gloss visor i think that it might be dirt/grime on the visor that the artist just cuts off at the "parting lines" because it looked artistically good
If you look underneath the "brim" of the helmet it has matte like smudges there too
on that note though
to have the visor look dirty and smudged like that pick would look really cool
and certainly a two part matte/gloss visor custom made would be cool
to get the effect you might want to also look into some simple clear matte spray. it might give you a decent matte finish. i dont know though you would have to try it out

You could use a Dremel with a finishing buff attachment. That doesn't take much material away and gives it an even, matte look. But try that on something else first
Dirt ?! On every Visor, looking the same?!

I Try to polish the outside of the Visor with the special matte polish, maybe it works.
Or with the matte spry you say, one of these 2 Ideas have to work
But I have other "problems" too, they aren't real problems but I wanna do it perfect, so i have no good ideas for them.
That can I do with the ears?!
Yellow = Matte effect
Red = There i install the Blue LED
Green = The diffucult Detail!!!!!!
Sry for the horrible Pic, you know iPhone FailCam
