Well, understand that it's not a transformation. I just used that paintball helmet as an underbase... so I could wear and scale the helmet as I was patterning it.
The paintball helmet itself was removed after the pattern was finished.
So theres no remnant of that helmet left in my M.C. helmet...
Not gonna lie, I am using this as a reference for my wooden helm. When I can't quite get something to look right, I turn here. Best solo helm pics I have seen.
