Because life isn't busy enough, we decided to have a garage sale this weekend too. To find stuff for the sale on Sunday, we had to spend all of Saturday going through the crap int he crawlspace. While doing all this, we were also building trees, fairies, unicorns and trash pandas for the Enchanted Forest Grad on Thursday. There was no time for helmets.
None.
So here's what I did to the helmet:
I took a defunct earbud speaker:
I drilled a neat hole in the headband of the helmet:
And I squeezed that earbud in backwards. On purpose.
There are, of course, three problems with this.
1. It's ever-so-slightly off centre. Because I didn't measure, duh.
2. I still haven't done the final paint layer, so I'll have to mask it off when I do.
3. None of this getting fairies made for the grad, is it?
Just have to get past Thursday and life will get a very tiny bit easier. At which point I have to resist the urge to start the pep TIE Pilot project...
By the way, the reason I put the earbud in backwards is because then it looks quite a bit like the helmet cam in the illustration.
None.
