Visors?

[Aer0]

I have begun my first armour build (starting with the helmet)and it looks ok, but i really need to know where to get a visor for a mark 6 helmet and how to then put the detail on it, and finally install it.

any help appreciated.

well you can go to your local harley davidson or bike shop and look at helmet visors, if you want a tinted one, just buy it tinted, if they dont have tinted ones, either live with untinted, or buy some of the tint stuff. Sadly I heard the tinting stuff doesnt work too well.

If you do go with a clear visor you can go to any auto store & buy a spray can of nightshade, just spray it on in light coats. For holding it in the helment use velcro or hot glue. Theirs alot of visor questions popping up today.

Internet. Search "replacement motorcycle visors". If you're old enough to get stuff off line, this is an easy route. If not... a motorcycle shop... if you look long enough you'll be able to pick one up for about $12, usually only in smoke tint. Usually a replacement visor that is gold tinted is around $30 - $50, in shop or on the net...

could use welding visors... cheap, but difficult to find tinted

yeah pretty much what the above stated, if you want a non motorcycle helmet visor, then try welding visors, probably wont be tinted though because there is no need to be stylish when working with things that can stab your eyes out.

Also, if your making ODST and are tight on cash, if a non-tinted visor is cheaper, you can get that.

Thanks guys, ive found one that ill use but do i just use a dremel to cut it or is the a better tool to use?

dremel... patience... breathe... and dremel. Wear goggles and a respirator or painting mast too... safety first, and all that.



Try and draw your cutting lines before you start, and remember that the plastic of the visor will melt a bit so cut high and slowly work your way down.
