I've started the fibreglass route but I'm thinking of jumping ships myself. Quick question (I hope), how flexible is this once set? I'm thinking of making a neck seal from foam and was going to cut a split in the back so I can wear it. Would it be flexible enough to let me do this? Cheers.

You could try an airsoft supplier. A few years ago you could buy rubber or plastic bayonets for re-enactment. I've not played since the VCR bill so can't help with specific stores.

So that was what went wrong, but what went right? I started a third helmet, this time using the Sharkbeetle Dunghead pep files. My reasoning being I could put the details in later using my trusty dremel and plasti-card. This went much better, and instead of making it in separate parts I...

Hi, been a bit of a lurker, absorbing information and ogling at the many excellent builds on here. Thought I'd made enough progress to share what I've done so far. I came to the forum after looking at making a Boba Fett helmet, but tbh, Irom Man is more interesting to me. My first ever...
