Take time but it is for the good....well here is the first mold and first pull out, it will be 3 pieces, jaw, top and visor, the visor it will be use for the vacumm form method, i will try to use clear sintra o petg, then under it chrome tint mirror, i'm crossing my finger, let see how it works if not i will be loss, all the pieces need more sanding, primer, sanding, primer and so on, the real helmet use magnet but with my helmet i will use center button quick release....this is a hard project so i 'm doing testing studing and research. i hope you like it so far.

Damn that looks great. FYI if you have a party city near you there is a really cheap chrome mask you can buy that looks like it would fit your bucket.
