Guest weiBes Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 You wanted to see for yourself. .100 faceplate .125 dome, built like a rock and still sharp. Its not the most screen accurate, but it is still a great helmet. Built with trooping in mind, not just display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firebladejedi[TK] Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 nice helmet for sure, but i didnt really understand the rest of your post.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest weiBes Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 What i meant was, that i built some in heavy gauge ones for friends that use them for trooping. I have done some in .060 gauge for my own personal display. It wasnt a sales pitch, I dont have time to mass produce or want to. Though it is nice to make one whenever i feel like it, which isnt often. I hate forming, but i do love the build and finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougefresh Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 That's a really impressive bucket, Chris. It's amazing how much detail and clarity comes through in such a thick material. Nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chefhawk[501st] Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Chris , what idea have you got that will help you get the plastic off the mold when your trying for a sharper form.? Have you tried H.I.P.S?? (high.impact poly.styrene) cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigturc Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I really like that helmet! Nice job Chris .. it kinda make me wanna get another one beside my AP ..

Have you tried H.I.P.S?? (high.impact poly.styrene) cheers I was thinking of making a two part mold that splits at the teeth area. that way you could pull super sharp, then remove two bolts that hold the halves together, then remove the top half, then the bottom. I know it would work, it would be alot of work to make the two halves fit together perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GINO Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Wow. I just read the other thread (someone correct me if I'm wrong) it looks like you admitted to recasting Matt's helmet. Look, everyone knows there's no love lost between me and Matt, but that doesn't make it okay to recast without permission. Admin, how is he allowed to still be a member if this is the case? PS, if you belong to RPF, TDH, or MEPD, you won't for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
