Well, I made it just in time for Dragon Con.... Barely. But before I get to any of that, let me get you guys caught up on what I did.
I have had a few people aske me how to install a visor, so here are my steps... because I had plenty of spare time to make a tutorial lol.
Cut the visor section out of the helmet.
Get a gold visor (or whatever color you want)
Be sure to inspect it for imperfections. This one was defective, and the gold film peeled right off. This was going to be a tutorial for a double layer visor, but now it is a single visor.
Neatly cover the visor with tape, front and back.
Place it in the helmet, and draw a line where it goes.
Take it out and trim it to fit. I usually leave about 1/2 an inch around the line.
Put the visor back in place, and fill in any gaps with Bondo.
Let the Bondo mostly cure. While it is still a little soft, you can remove the visor.
Then sand down the bondo, so that it is completely flat with the helmet.
Test to make sure that the visor is a perfect fit.
Then you can peel the tape off, and glue it in place. I use some super glue to hold it down, and then use epoxy along the edges inside.
I also got my armor painted.
I will upload more pictures in the morning.
