Ilnino Posted November 6, 2016 Report Share Posted November 6, 2016 How do, so I promised my eldest son that I'd share some pics with you guys of his armour. A lot of blood, sweat, swearing and beer went into this 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgb1016[501st] Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 These conversions are always amazing. Though I don't think I would ever have the patience to do one lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuumantroop[TK] Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 awesome! I did not bother painting my sons, but have been considering it now. My biggest fear is it will not match the Rubies adult helmet I have been using. What helmet did you end up using? And did you repaint that as well?

Ilnino Posted November 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) I bought the kids 2 piece rubies helmet from off Amazon. I screwed the sides together and used limousine window tint for the visor. I haven't painted it. To be honest it's not a million miles from the paint I've used. I had the armour professional sprayed, they used Fords Frozen White. I've bought one of KBs kids helmets, just waiting for it to arrive.

I used Rustoleum primer and white 2X and it's chipping off fairly easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuumantroop[TK] Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Gotcha. The kids rubies is glossier than the adult version. I may just spray some gloss clear coat and attempt to color match the helmet itself someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
