TechWolf Helmet Scratchbuild (Pic Heavy)
« on: Apr 22, 2021, 03:50 PM »
Got a skate helmet that fits and plan to use a 5gal bucket to start on my helmet finally.  :jango: :boba: :mtu:



Got the templates drawn out and will hopefully get to cutting it all out soon. :mcq1:






Edit: fixed a few of the image links

Awesome!  My scratch build helmet is still one of my favorite pieces of my kit because I spent so much time on it. 

Have you seen The Bearded Mando's tutorials?  They are excellent and can help you from making some mistakes that I made when I did mine.

Good luck building!  :like:

Unfortunately all of my old image links have been broken.  :(

I have made a bit of progress on my helmet,

Be careful making the helmet too tall, it gets awfully hard to look down when your chin starts bumping into your chest plates.

Yeah, I realized after cutting out the opening for the visor that it was a bit too tall.
I need to add another layer so I plan to trim it down once I get that layer set.  :jango:

Also make sure that your T isn't going to be taller than whatever visor you get for it. if it's more than the height of a grinding visor it's going to be very hard to find something that will work.
