Master Chief helmet finally Finished.

Good luck to you! I opened up mine as soon as I got home from the midnight release. Lots of plastic tabs and mountings in there. Saw some kids on Youtube hollow theirs out and fit them just fine. I don't know about it fitting to well on me though. When i held up the shell on top of my head, the sides were already digging in. Didn't look too promising. Might fit a woman's head though. Keep us updated!

I will. i'm going to try and hollow it out enough for when i go visit. if not i need to learn to do pep models fast lol.

well i picked up some mini maglights to put in the helmets somehow for the lights, now i just need to come up with clear domes to replace the black ones they used.

there is a step by step process to convert the helmet to a wearable helmet..it is online somewhere

Ifound it. They make getting the sucker apart is way too easy. I'm going to cut the parts where the screws go in with a saw instead of fighting with the parts individually.

Good luck and keep posting

Just going to throw this out there. This is a kid-sized helmet. Unless you seriously chop it up and change the proportions with a lot of scratchbuilding, you will not make a properly proportioned adult-sized helmet. Most of the 10-15 year-old kids you see that have converted those helms had to maim it by yanking the neck section out.

Here's some of my more regular-sized helms for comparison. Please note these helmets do not fit on people with a head size bigger than 10 or so anyway. You need the really big helms for that. Please excuse the bad photography. I just took those and typed this post right before I'm going to hit the sack.


2 regular 26 cm builds and legendary helm, it's about a 30% size difference





And comparing to another model in Kids size, same scale as legendary





And actually worn. Yeah, I am as tired as I look.








Anyway, that's just to give you fair warning before you start gutting stuff. But if you'd like to get rid of your stands cheap since you're modding the helms I'm always looking for a few for mini terrain and stuff. Feel free to shoot me a PM.

I was affraid i was going to have to pepakura this stuff x.x

Okay i think pep is out of my patience level. ANyone know where i can find moderately good MC helmets that fit adults at a reasonable price? i don't want to spent 300.00 on each one.

Contact Thorssoli, I have one of his helmets and I can't be any happier. However, I will say, it is a large helmet. It's perfect for me cause of my size, but if she is pretty small stature, you may need to make a custom helmet.

Here's me wearing my helmet (ignore my facial expression lol )



Yea, I'm 6'7" too..

I wish i was that tall (and thin) I'm a tall fat spartan lol. she's 5'5 but i can always add padding.

LOL I'm tall, but proportionate. I need to thin out

Ironically i already contacted him about his halo pistols he has in the JY. i don't need this stuff until feb or march since the con isn't until april at least otherwise i'd have no cash.

I knew you were always funny looking

That is actually the expression i usually have at cons thanks to my anxiety issues lol. at least with a helmet on i won't get yelled at for it.

the face of (cons)tipation

Bah i'm not trying to impress anyone here!

The book that came with the fancy version of reach actually shows a break down of the helmet and shows some of the interior parts which could be interesting to do or even if i do it with these 2 smaller ones i have.

I think that is a whole different thread in the OT haha

And I hope you know I am joking

Don't tick off folks who are nearly 7' tall lol. man now i have 9 mini maglites to put into things as i bought them to light up these other helmets. I still might as they would still make neat displays with working lights.
