Chex Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Very, very nice, though the 2 back grey stickers are inaccurate, due to the black outline around them. other then that, outstanding job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thericeshield Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 so how do you make the helmet look not as fat. do you just heat it up and form it to the correct size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest amdevil Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 i had a DP pretty close to where I wanted it (not even close to how good your is) and after pulling her out of the box after beeing in air conditioned storage for a bit the face has warped. It cas contorted in ways that are very hard to correct. did you usewire hangers and a hot car to shape the face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest troopermanx Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi Amdevil, I used 3mm welding rods which are pretty much the same as wire coathangers , bent them to shape and hot glued them in,then when I was happy with them i used polyurethane sealer to smooth them off. You can only bend the main part of the helmet so much so that you can still get your head in. My mate had a pretty warped rubies tho and he chucked it away,cause no matter how much heat was applied to the helmet,as soon as it cooled went back to being deformed again.
