Help With Bio-Helmet?

[lttankor7]

Wassup guys? just joined today. i'm new to customization so dont flame me. I have a question...i'm going to be buying a Bio-Helmet off of amazon and editing it. When i saw the helmet, all was good except the eyeslots. you can see into the mask. i dont want tost. i want to to look realistic. is there anything i can use, at all, to give the eyslots a black sunglass tint, but to the point where i can see out of it?

you could use a piece of plastic (clear motorcycle visor) to put behind the eyeslots, coated with only a couple of coats of VHT nite-shade

Ummm,,,that sounds a tad expensive and advanced. However thanks for the idea. i was thinking taking out sunglasses lens and glueing them in place.

 

[BaronVonReicher]

ok, that'll work too....
you could use just about any clear plastic to spray with the nite-shade, it's not that expensive or advanced.... In fact, it's so easy, a caveman could do it! lol

Nite-Shade? never heard of it. But i will try and find it. any ideas for a kama? you know, those things that they wear around their thighs and groin?

 

[BaronVonReicher]

I'm sure most people just fabricate them. There are patterns here somewhere, just trace them on plastic or foam, cut 'em out, assemble them and Bob's your uncle.

just a quick FYI ..those bios you see on amazon are small wall hangers ..they barely cover a human face let alone a mask

What costume you looking to make - AVP?

Get a piece of window tint. Ask for a sample from a window tint company on the net. Laminate it. Very cheap and easy.

if i were to send u to anyone to get a cheap .. well not cheap like bad. but cheap as in good but not a lot of dough. id say Mysteria Models. i got my SCar Bio from them. have had it for 3 years now. very good condition. it was like 150 Raw. u gotta dremel it and paint it. but imo worth it. sometime su can find a good deal in MBS member buy-sell forum if someone is gettin rid of bio or something. or a bad Cast. Gl reguardless

tamiya make a good clear smoke paint(rattle can) , cuple of coats of that will do the work

Thanks Guys! And...the masks are just wall-hangers and dont normally fit the face? what about halloween shops? would they have a cheap copy?
