Aliens Colonial Marines Helmet - Project Finished

[PAULH]

All, I haven't posted for quite some time but I thought I'd share some pics the project I've just finished. In summary:
- Real M1 helmet that I've had since I was a child (the liner was shot so I replaced it with a replica).
- IR sight kit from the amazing Chefs Creations (here in the UK)
- Earpiece / Microphone / Camera from the amazing Mooncrest Models (here in the UK)
- The correct camera lens via Ebay
- Lobster plates and front plate from CaptainBlacks on Etsy (a good weight to them considering they are 3D prints)
- perforated rubber matting for the inside surface of the lobster plates
- 3D printed pulse rifle rounds from AWPRINTS123 on Etsy (painted with AK chrome) - just adds a bit of colour to the helmet
- Vintage webbing from Ebay
- Humbrol enamels
- Stove polish to tone down the paintjob
- Chrome paint applied with a scotch pad for chips and scratches.
- helmet stand from parts I had on hand

Just think, eight more and you could live action the old Aliens board game.

Sorry, did my bitterness at you having that and me not come out?

No, really, green, bright, with envy.

Really nice work!

The lens and the sight are beautifully done. The whole build is impressive, but I particularly like those details.
