Honestly, Don't send it UPS. UPS loves to destroy things. USPS and FedEx are pretty good shippers, just put it in a box thoroughly wrapped in tissue, then newspaper, and finally bubble wrap. Use packing popcorn around the edges to keep it from bouncing around, and it should be good. You want to remember that they will drop it several times, and throw it around a bit. If you feel comfortable dropping the box from a height of 4 feet, then you can ship it.
Have you looked at the strapping of catcher's helmets in baseball? That seems like it might work perfect for your friend. I don't know how heavy the mask is, but it looks like it could go either way weight-wise. The catchers mask strapping will keep it in place comfortably.

You need to able to export your file into .obj or .3ds format at least.
Sorry, folks, if this question could be placed in a more appropriate thread; I couldn't find it. And if it's been answered before, I didn't find it.
Now. ONWARD.
I'm about to start a water-based clay sculpt on my foam head to build a Dead Space 2 "Advanced Suit" helmet. I've looked through BlueRealm's Master Chief helmet sculpt tutorial quite a few times, and he recommends Shellac to "seal" the armature, and provide the clay with a good surface. I don't have any Shellac, and I have no problem buying any, but I was just wondering if it was necessary for the quality of my sculpt.
What are the advantages of Shellac; are they important enough that not using it would sacrifice substantial sculpt quality; are there any alternatives?

You should look in the noob or creation discussion stickies. there is a tutorial on how to make and paint your own see-through visors.

I don't think there are any for the Mac period just for Windows, you would have to have someone convert the PDO file to PDF on a windows system so you can print off of your Mac

so far ive seen alot of people attempt this type of visor but the only real winners have been visors that are bondo'd or rondo'd with the two eye areas (if your making emiles helmet) visor. However i have a idea for another method for it, but am no where near the stage of testing. what i'd do would be search for eva and emile helmet builds.
my question, although seeming basic i just want to be certain, what is the best thing to use for the tubing on the Mk vi helmet (master chiefs helmet)? i was thinking some spiral wrap cut up and glued in place but is there a better alternate?

There might be other ways, but plastic tubing used for organizing TV cables works great. Check out post #48 here to see one way of doing it.

Your forum status is now "Infantryman", so you're allowed to post in the regular forums. You're no longer considered a noob.
