Looks good...did you ever figure a solution for the visor? I just finished my Noble Six helmet yesterday but can't find a visor to fit or one that I like...I have a link to mine in my sig if you want to check it out
Cheers folks.
bluelotus82 - I love the MC helmet but saw it had been done lots so thought I would try something relatively new. It seems VI is appearing all over now too.
FateGuardiaN - Wow, you weathered the heck out of your helmet! Your pep work is way better than mine was. Not sorted my visor yet but I am going to try and vac form a gold bike visor and use a chopped up clear one over the top.

I was going for the brushed aluminum look, but I wanted it to look battle used...I have been thinking off making bullet hit marks on it but can't think of a way to make it look realistic. Let me know how the visor works I might be interested in doing the same, or buying one. My next helmet I plan on keeping it looking pristine with gloss paint etc, but I just had to weather my Noble Six...because well...we all know how the game ends.
If you have a bit of depth in your bondo somewhere, it should be possible to use a round ended rasp or similar in a dremel and machine it in that way. Have a sketch on some paper first or find a few pics of battle damage to work from.
Will be sorting the visor later this month and will keep you posted.
Hey thanks Road Kill. Was going to be 2 shades of green but the dark one seems to have hidden itself away somewhere.
It wasnt till after the base went on that I put the 'holes' in it. I just figured that it 'needed' something and I kind of like them. I never set out to go screen accurate which is just as well, the helmet is ok for my first go but my next piece will be better

very good helmet i wanted mine to end up like yours but i didn't have mototool in that time (over one month) and i was quite busy
Thanks spartan-b312, It took me a while to get this far because all the shaping was by hand (no rotory tool at the time) and the temprature here in the UK spent 3 weeks below zero centigrade. Even now its only +2 degrees.
As far as time goes, I got lots done over christmas as am busy most of the year and just frantic in our short summer (quite often go 3 or 4 months without a day off!). Dont give up when your short on time, leave it somewhere it will shout at you when you have a spare hour.

it was hand shaping, how did you make the hole below the yellow triangles
spartan-b312 - Santa left me a new dremel for xmass and that slot was cut using a pointed rasp bit. I could have used a craft knife but it would have been rude not to make use of my new toy? All the sanding was done by hand.
Thanks Fred617 & thorn696.
Im now looking at a small pile of pep peices of hd handplates and wondering if I should avoid hotglue due to the small tabs and snall faces and use something like Bostik or Uhu?

Well as I am waiting for payday so I can finish the bucket, I thought I would start another peice (looks like Im hooked!). Settled on the hd handplates by ROBOGENESIS. Well I have quite big hands but even taking that into account I didnt fancy pepping those indentations on card so used ordinary inkjet paper for those.
I was concerned that they might fail the resin but figured it was worth a go. Stood upto it fine so I may well use this again for very small bits.
