If you disagree.. well, make your helmet how you like it. Then we are all happy.![]()
It really doesn't matter to me, just trying to keep open to possibilities. I don't replicate props based on the way they are built. I'm more of an idealized builder.
Here is what I have decided to do for the lamp mounting system.
Using a magnetic badge holder, some self sticking craft foam, and some two sided tape, I made this part:

It mounts to a piece of metal that for now is just wrapped and suspended using black duct tape:

The result is this:

I have not finished the lamp as I have not finalized the decision for the light source:
I am still waiting on a mini light. I have a bore lamp which I can easily clip inside the helmet but the neck is easily seen. Although it's not awful:


Also, a little bit of the wife's clear nail polish really helps sell the glass lens look:
