randomobject[TK] Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 So I have this problem where you can see my face in my helmet Other than wearing a balaclava (which is my last resort), what things can I do to hide my face better? Right now I'm considering putting a black vacuum house around the inside opening of the helmet or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 You could also paint the inside of the helmet black, would give a darker appearance and not reflect the light as much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) You can also purchase a half mask instead of an entire balaclava. The one pictured here could have the mouth cut out completely, and your neck seal would probably cover the bottom. Plus, the top is open, which would keep you cooler...

DarkTrooper[TK] Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 You must have a long neck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomobject[TK] Posted October 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) You must have a long neck Apparently lol. I even took out most of the padding on the top of the helmet so it sits lower. It's an ATA helmet btw.

sylverbard[TK] Posted October 8, 2015 Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 This is why a balaclava or raiders mask needs to be part of the crl. We know its a problem and how to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I wonder if these come in black? Edited January 9, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 How much padding do you have in the top of your helmet, Hank? I just remembered that I had a problem with the "bobble-head" look, until I finally realized that I had used 1 inch thick foam. I reduced it down to 1/4 inch, and the difference was amazing. (I could actually see out of the eye openings)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonnenschein Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 This is why a balaclava or raiders mask needs to be part of the crl. I disagree. They were not part of the original costumes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylverbard[TK] Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 It could be added as an optional accessory. Like Hasbro toy rifles and resin fakery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomobject[TK] Posted October 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Think it has to do with it being an Ata helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylverbard[TK] Posted October 10, 2015 Report Share Posted October 10, 2015 Ata isn't huge. It's the angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
