pretty sure....that this is beyond amazing very nice Magic! is this just an ornament? or can the LEDs be removed to wear? also pepping those side "vents", i know your pain. Im doing a H4 EOD helm, and the AI port as amazing as the detail is, putting it together was not Top notch man

Holy jeez! This looks great! Care to share file?

 

[kupokitty]

Excellent craftsmanship!

I just noticed how similar that helmet is to the CQB.

 

[CLOTHAR]

Very nice pep work!

 

[TheMagicNumber]

It COULD be worn, but this was a very basic model to be moulded for casts.

 

[TheMagicNumber]

A little more detailing and some LEDs.

If you don't mind sharing, how is the visor lit up? Is it an edge or back lit system? I am currently debating ideas in my head for making some backlit panels. They would be used for the lights area on the Mark V CE armor backpack.

That amazing work man! Great paint job too- everything about that is right! I wish I was as efficient as a builder as your first post made that look. That would have been 4 pages of posts for me lol.

also, yea what are you using for the light up visor? Looks perfect.

 

[CasualCosplayer]

I would like to know that too!

he's using the jealous souls and tears of those not that good to light it up.

It's a sheet of clear plastic cut, then heated and bent to shape. I then sprayed the back of the plastic with silver spray and back lit it.
This was a two minute working mock up.
The 'proper' visor will be vac'd on my mini table (VisrVac® lol), rather than silver I'll use high quality chrome spray and rather than back light it I'll use LEDs to edge light the cleaner finished edges I'll get from the thicker acrylic...

...well..that's the plan anyway

Thank you Jico...wouldn't of been possible without you - so right back at ya Bro.

No problem It's so cool to see what people can do with the models I make. Small question: how good is the visibility through the visor when you use reflective/chrome paint on it? I have a few ODST casts I want to try and make a visor for with clear plastic and blue reflective paint on the outside.

 

[Valector]

what material did you use for the visor? and can you see through it?
