My Skyrim dragon priest mask and Mk VI helmet

[ElricStorm]

Hello everyone, I´m new around here so I´ll just introduce myself and my works: I´m not really experienced with building armour, I`m currently building my Mk VI Spartan helmet.

I thought I´ll just start with my already finished Skyrim Dragon priest mask. i would have postet a work in progress shot of my Mk VI helmet but for some reason it told me that "i do not have permission to perform that action".

Sorry but i completely failed at uploading the picture, so i just posted the link-.-


also, on the risk of asking my first question in my first post, I don´t really have an idea on how to do the visor for the mk VI, therefore, I´d like to ask for help here.
I heard of people using two motorcycle visors, but I have troubles finding any. Also some people on the web where talking about "transparent gold sprays" but no one here even has an idea what that is...

greatings,

Oh and that is the Jtm dragon priest mask if you want to know.

Hmm. Maybe it's just me, but your attachment didn't work...

As far as transparent paint, I don't think you'll actually find anything actually transparent. Possibly some kind of airbrush paint or something that is just really "fine" for lack of a better word.

You can order replacement visors online at various motorcycle supply websites.
if your not worried about a double layered visor right now there is a etsy shop that sells flexiable visor material in various reflective colors >Linky<
you could also go the way of vac forming the visor and then dyeing it Cosplay4UsAll has a really great video on how to dye visors >Linky<
then to give it the mirror look you could use reflective privacy film used on home and office windows >more linky<

It's not just you, the attachement really didn't work so i just posted the link. Thank you for the ideas, i'll check them when I'm at home.

I'll upload a wip shot of my helmet then too.

well, now let´s see if I can figure out how to attach images this time...

so the promised wip shots:



I don´t think I get the posting system... sorry-.-

anyway, about the ideas, It´s pretty difficult finding golden visors where i live (even online) but I guess I should keep searching because the dyeing requires somewhat more equipment then I have at my disposal
and I don´t know if that other shop sends to where I live.

anyway I hope the attachments work this time It´s my second try at building armour, the first one being the dragon priest mask, I posted that one again too, just in case

Greetings!

For the etsy shop you can contact em and see if they will ship to you, might cost you more in shipping, wont hurt to ask him.
you can also see about having the items shipped to a buisness like your work.
also can try going to a motorcycle shop in town if there is one and explain to them what you are trying to do and they might even have the visors on hand or be able to order them for you to pick up
HERE is a shop i found that looks like they ship to many countries (if you live outside the US)
hope this helps you
