Hello, my name is Killnat2o1, i have been working for the past 6-7 months on a graphic novel, its getting closer and closer to summer and i want to create a cos play outfit for the character "Isaac" hes the main character in the story and we fallow him through a wasteland in Denver, Colorado and the neighboring states. i'm new to prop building and haven't to much experience in it the character him self dosnt have anything really worth while except for his mask, Isaac wears a MK III Hazard Helmet, created by Leon Jones, a scientist that works at D-CON Industry's, how Isaac came into possession of this mask will be explained in the story, like i said i have very little knowledge on prop building or creating my own, but my idea with making this mask is to help spread the word of the graphic novel on kick starter, i plan to get the rest of the items needed to complete the costume and go to the Comic-Con in Denver or where ever the real one will be held and pass out flyers dressed as Isaac.
so that's why I've come to the RPF community for some help, i have sketches of his mask but nothing in any 3-D software like auto cad or inventor, so all your going to see is some sketches of the helmet as well as Isaac him-self wearing it, money is not an issue ATM, so if you have an idea where to start or how i can get the materials please leave a comment, that and any helpful info is always a big help
. Also to be specific here is what its going to look like and i'll also explain some of the feature inside of the helmet as well.
The helmet will have a polarized dome, in this version there wont be any of these features i'm about to list but if you have any information on them it still would be helpful, Features: audio receivers built into the outside brim of the mask to receive audio also on the outside i would like to put i volume knob so you can change the volume you pick up, on the inside i would like to put in padding all the way around the inside of the brim as well as on the back of the helmet and on the top of the head so the dome isnt resting on the wears hair or head, it the padding shouldn't be visible from the outside looking in and the padding is out of the wears sight so its almost like its not even there, there isnt going to be any straps or anything like that because i plan to make it roughly the same size as my head for a tight enough fit also in the padding around the prim will be small speakers that project audio into the helmet from the outside so hearing should be as easy as not even having it on also having the knob will allow the person to hear better wearing the helmet than not at all sense they can control the volume any way. the out side brim will be hallow plastic or metal i haven't decided, to house wires and or battery's, also down the road id like to add vents or fans to keep an airflow through the mask sense its not the real thing you wont have to worry about toxic fums but also wont have to worry about your head or face getting sweaty from the heat or fog accumulating on the dome. that's pretty much it if you have any questions please as ill be more than happy to add on to this. also thank you for reading this and taking the time to help.
