Hey everyone. Wanted to finally start a thread and share some pictures of a custom helmet build I'm dubbing "The Corsair".
First off I want to preface that this helmet is going to be based off a 3D printed base with some modifications done in CAD, then the rest done by hand since there's only so much I can do in CAD with my skills.
I wanted to design a helmet with more of a tactical or "FAST" feel to it. My current kit is a Legacy kit in the Privateer Brigade. I designed this kit to emulate what a first in/breacher/boarding party. Heavily armored where it counts.
So in comes the design for this helmet. I wanted a tactical feel, somewhat militarized/FAST/Special forces style so I wanted to integrate some tech in to it.
Anyways enough talk, time for some pictures because they'll explain better. excuse the red lines in CAD, they're just artifact likes in the file i couldnt get rid of.
I had a few attempts to print and a few revisions. I printed at 0.01mm layer heights slowly for a super clean finish... this baby took over 200 hours in two 3 main pieces.
from left to right original model helmet for brainstorming, V1 with a layer shift so was no good, and V2 which is current and perfect!
I've begun doing some hand modification, smoothing out areas and rounding over the vertical part of the T Visor edges.
Updates will be sporadic because I'm swamped with IRL work... might get done sooner or later, we shall see!
