Damn brother, just when I thought I had killed it with my mod. I find your thread and now want to tear mine down and re-work it. Your helmet is freaking insane. I ended up cutting off the nose and attaching on the disney ($26) mask. It has a much better nose piece. Love what you did with the chrome and the nose piece. I want to go back and fix mine now. Yours looks so good. Here is a pic of mine, I still need to replace the visor but was not sure what to use. Will visit the hardware store tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration...planning on reworking mine now.

With a hinge like some guys using it in their Ironman helmets it could be made movable like in the movie?:unsure

The still is from a youtube video.
Do you have a picture of where you embedded the magnets?Yeah I've been thingking about that too. I think it can work. The magnets keep it shut but the only problem is how to make it open by holding it on the sides like kylo does. It would have to be electric or something. The hinge parts should be easy.

The Ironman propbuilders are the right adress.They did the same with lots of IM-Faceplates...also with electrics.
Love the mod! I am attempting to mod mine right now I used atechnic similar to what you described to weld the seams but am having a bit oftrouble with the button holes where there is openings. I attempted to weld the buttonpieces themselves in the (would have still left some gaps to fill but the plasticsdon’t seems to be the same and the fill came out with not much effort eachtime. I also tried using a plastic epoxy to glue the button in but the bond wasagain not very strong. Do you have any ideas to try and fill those holes? I shouldnote this is my first project that deals with plastics as most of my dealing inthe past have been fabric. Any help you can give would be great!
Great job again on your helmet!
This is amazing. I don't mean to seem forward or repetitive to, what i assume, many messages you've been sent about this. But, I'm wondering how much a commission of this process would cost?
