Helmet

Finally got around to finishing my 2012-style helmet. This is the fibreglass helmet available from snottysnowy on eBay. It cleaned up very nicely and came with a nice set of painting and finishing instructions.

Mine was painted with Rustoleum gloss black / balmoral red and then weathered with black acrylic and silver Rub 'n' Buff. The badge was finished with antique gold Rub 'n' Buff. The visor is a slightly cut down tinted motorcycle visor which I attached to the inside of the helmet using 3mm binding screws so I could remove / replace it if necessary. The helmet is lined with half-inch upholstery foam covered in black 3mm headliner fabric.

It's a snug fit, but that's all to the good as it sits very firmly without wobbling!

I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. Now on to the Lawgiver! :)

Now with matching Lawgiver! Decided for this one not to add lights as it'll be for display only... so the LCD display is printed. Both the LCD panel and the clear openings in the magazine have clear inserts. The red and green status indicators in front of the display are also mocked up with cut down 3mm LEDS.
