Heyo what's your plan for the visor of the helmet?

Heyo what's your plan for the visor of the helmet?

I will be buying the "blue" visor from icon prop visor sheets on etsy Flexible Metallic Visor material
reason being is because if you flip the visor upside down it reflects black instead of blue. then just cut to fit my eye holes just flat against the helmet is my idea.

Just had a look at the material on the Etsy page. I could be wrong, but if it's supposed to be a metallic finish on the blue side, wouldn't that make it hard to see out of if you put that on the inside?

My current build uses the same plastic. I've looked through both sides and it's about similar. In dark lighting. Yes it can be hard to see, but normal lighting, it's kind of like wearing sunglasses indoors. though everything gets a blue tint haha.

 

[HeyYouShutUp]

Thank you .
Funny short update. Looks like I was given free battle damage by my demon cat. He decided it would be best to knock it off our art tower and chrw on it. At least it wasn't pep..

Who knew this cat was capable of such things...

Also side update. Got the back helmet tube connection done(minus those pesky detail indents), so time to work on the flashlight attachments and such

This helmet is coming together very nicely!

Cat named "Pirate", unintentional (or intentional) reference to Heinlein's The Puppet Masters? (or just a lack of an eye?)

Foam looks good, I don't have the patience for all the angled seams and keeping a sharp knife handy.

Lack of an eye haha, and thank you! And to be honest I had to bevel some of the edges with a rotor tool so a little patience better to cut less and rotor more imo. unless you're going for extreme accuracy of course.

 

[he4thbar]

Did some detail cuts, then added a bunch of details and pieces. Had to get a little creative with some of the parts because foam just wasn't gonna cut it.
Just some kwik sealing and this guy will be ready for a rubber coat!

reference was from a full 3d model of this guy

 

[Harri51]

Yeah boi! Looking mad good bud! So looking forward to the suit next!

 

[he4thbar]

Kwik sealed, and leak sealed the helmet. Just have to fix some tiny seams in the front. Reseal, and it'll be ready for paint

 

[Sean Anwalt]

That's awesome! It makes me wanna play old school fallout 3 again.

 

[Rinzlerr]

its coming along quite nicely

Thanks!!! I got into playing tale of 2 wastelands a year ago so it inspired me lol. And thanks Rinzlerr !!

 

[GMer56]

Aww the googly eyes are gone

Nice work, can't wait to see the paintjob!

 

[Harri51]

Once I make the protosuit we must meet on the field of battle!!! But still looks made good buddy. The details you have paid a lot of attention too.

 

[he4thbar]

Probably will be a while till paint I just like to have my pieces primed, since I'm going to be doing them one at a time. Probably paint them all at the same time.

Heck yess!!! Though you will probably dwarf me because the fallout 3 power armor is a bit smaller then fallout 4 haha. And thank you! Took a bit of patience and scraping to get the right pieces

 

[he4thbar]

I swear I'm still working on this. This piece is taking a while is all. Half way done gluing this chest piece

Not sure how much it'll jutt out once it's glued together. I'm just holding it against me on the second photo.

 

[he4thbar]

Chest is mostly done. After these photos I filled the empty space on the back and cleaned up some seams. Now all I have to do is Kwik seal this guy.

Next up: making the wings for the shoulders

 

[he4thbar]

Let there be wings! Just gotta add some details around the big googly eyes. What a chonk this build is. Gonna see if I can make a latch system so the wings can fall down to make doors easier.

 

[Sharpworks]

Dude. DUDE. I can't explain how cool that looks and how jealous I am right now. Nice work!
