Nevermind. I debunked my own theory that I used to have typed in this space.

Ok
If I was going to do a Hand Sculpt, which way do you think would be the best attempt?

Would Foam Or Clay be a good Start? Maybe Even Vac Form?
Any thoughts, I am new to this so dont have a clue which would be my best start.

Best bet is going to be to get a couple large blocks of balsa wood as it's very easy to carve. Make yourself a wooden buck and then vacform over that. It won't shrink or crack like clay or melt like foam. You should be able to reuse it dozens of times without issues.
You'll want to use something like .80 styrene to get good detail and rigidity.

No, those are definitely from a face shield or arc welding helmet. I recognize the design, the head-strap assembly matches the sheilds we had in metal shop back in high school... Sort of like this:

or this:

Very similar design on these two (but not exact). If you want to try to find an exact match, try a surplus store that deals in construction equipment. You are looking for a late-80's/early 90's model. (I'm not sure how much they change over the years...) The green part might even be cut out of the same type of shield...

Could the green part be part of a bicycle helmet? Maybe a back section?

Gah! I keep thinking about the hard-foam liner in motorcycle helmets-
Look at the construction of this:

I can't track down any better pics, but could there be something there?

No there was none, wish there was would been nice.
Just the making of, but there was nothing there of any use.

Do they make those in clear, by chance? I think the ones in the NVGs are clear because they have LEDs behind them... I guess you could make a mold of the bushing though...
Anyone know who has a real one? That first pic is from an auction, right? Someone must have it...

Unless Premiere Props decided not to sell it to the highest bidder...
I dont think they Have clear ones.
In this image the grey peiece I am talking about is around the Lens, htere is another grey lookig piece it seems that may be kinda clear.
Well its not displayed on premier any more so I am guessing some one has won it?
Have to look into that.
