I got my first coat of paint on the helmet today and like a dope, forgot to mask off the stripes. I'll let the paint cure for a few days and then apply that paint before I top coat and weather.

Reminder PM coming!

Today I finished my helmet. I started by cutting 1/2" foam and covering it with headliner material to make the interior padding in the helmet. Now it sits snugly on my head with no wobble.
I painted the top stripes and gave the helmet a nice shiny clear coat. We now have a perfect rookie helmet.
Now to make it fit in with the Dredd movie universe, I needed to beat the hell out of the finish. After spending so much time making the helmet smooth and clean, it KILLED me to take to it with rasps, files and blades. The scuff painting and grime was much more fun.
Now this helmet has seen some action!
My friend Paul (AmazonChitlin) was nice enough to model the helmet as my beard is not Justice Department Regulation. Strangely enough, the helmet actually has a great field of vision.
I consider this helmet a version 1.0 in the sequel production exploration. The next version would slowly step away from the comic book design by reducing the size of the lion to expose more of the visor. Maybe some light eyes would be cool as well!

Terrible! Throw it out immediately and then walk away without looking back.
Please hurry, my legs are cramping up hiding behind this bush.
You truly are some sort of magician.

Hahaha You almost got me there! I was halfway out to the dumpster...
Marvelous. Would love one for my shelf. What a great time to be a Dredd fan.
