So inspired by a thrift store find, and this thread I've started to convert over a toy clone helmet. The tab's weren't holding together so the kids weren't playing with it anymore. I thought it would give me a chance to learn some new skills or at least buy some new tools, one of which is a mouse sander.

I started by tearing apart the helmet, I cut out the interior frame so I could install the lens with the helmet assembled. i tried to keep as much as possible for structure.

Using a for sell sign left over from my Gaffi build and the template found in the mentioned thread I rebuilt the eyes.

Next I tore out the ear disk's and found a washer to rebuild with.

Then I reassembled the helmet with glue and a old bits of plastic and bondo to fill in the gaps. Then on to bondo, sand and repeat. I need to get more sandpaper to continue on. Some more progress shots.

Great looking helmet. It's coming along really well. I've got two just waiting for the time when I can get to them. I can't wait to see it when it's done.

So after a couple of layers of bondo and a coat of primer things are starting to look good. I'm still favoring the red striped helmet and I'll probably add some battle damage weathering. I should try and find some reflective tint to add to the visor.

Inspires me to convert my Hasbro from e*ay for 15$ too.

This causes great inspiration to try a conversion. Amazing how drastically different it turns out to be with seemingly little added.
I can't wait to see this fully finished.

Well here's some photos not taken with an Ipotato. Painting complete, just need to weather it and run down to the tint shop and see if I can find some reflective tint.

Got a nice layer of weathering on any ideas for mirror tinting the visor? The tint shop said their tint wouldn't stick to the plastic.
