I made this version helmet using Joatrash FX
Star Lord's Helmet, accurate with screen used lineage.
I ordered 2 face parts & used my dremel to cut into the two to make the end result. I used a magnetic phone charging connector to make the contact for the LEDS to work. The last slide is the video.
I finally finished my helmet. I managed to perfectly fit the face plate over the materializing peices. I used a cell phone magnetic charger to make the connection when the face plate goes back on to light the LEDs.
I ended up using rub'nbuff over the brass. The face detaches to reveal the materializing peices. When the face goes back on the LEDs automatically light up. I ran out of time to weather it. I wore the helmet for San Diego Comicon this past weekend. Ran into Gamora & hung out.
I am almost finished with my Helmet I bought from JOATRASH FX. I decided to electroplate the whole thing because I wanted actual metal to show when I battle scared it. This is my first attempt at electroplating. First I had to copper electroplate the whole thing, then nickel plate, then paint...
It is not that much heavier than it was prior to electroplating. I don't have a scale to weigh it, but I do think it could cause some damage if thrown at something.
This can probably be done by printing the image backwards on Transparency media on a color copier. Cut it to size & apply it to the outside of the lens.
