A thread in the Off Topic just prompted me to post this. I finished Karyn's DS pilot helmet a while ago but didn't get around to posting anything about it. Here are a few pics. I'm redoing the front graffitti and tweaking the two half cones that the tubes go into on the right hand side. A big shout out to Matt (Noble), Stephen210 (Steve), Mike Rush (for the name decal) and everyone else who contributed to the amazing R&D thread that got these greeblie pieces done. They are great and really finish off a Dropship Lid. Cheers, Andy

Yeah but I meant the final shot where it's just Karyn, specially written for her and everything and so don't need my helmet so there

Kevin Thanks Kev, appreciate the kind words, you must do yours, it makes all the difference on the lid. Quote: Absolutely stunning! You've done an amazing job, Andy! Thanks Vick, but the really hard work was done by the guys who researched and made the kits. Quote: Wonderful work, like it just walked off the set! Coming from you dropshipbob that's praise indeed, cheers man. Quote: I like!!! If I'm to be honest, I think it looks juuuust a touch too clean. Ta Woody, I looked at weathering it and I couldn't settle on a way to do it. As I said it's weathering itself, Karyn throws it around enough! j/k Quote: But I could never craft something like that - Well done!!![/ Bet you could! Quote: Excellent work clang dude! Thanks Rusti, it was good fun and I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out, even though I was rushed by Mr Friendlyskies!!! Quote: Where do you get the surplus helmet from? The one Karyn is using was from ebay, unissued and still in the helmet bag, instructions, earplugs, the whole lot. Got it for around £120 if I remember correctly, an absolute song! I then bought a cheap busted up SPH shell (ebay again), so I could practise the cutting techniques on it. If you can do this I'd highly recomend it. I now have an extra large one for myself, ebay again, courtesy of a big pointer by Sidewinder, which I hope to turn into a Spunkmeyer soon. I think they still turn up pretty frequently at militaria fairs, ebay and surplus stores, prices vary hugely though. Andy

Nice install Andy! Glad to see people enjoying their helmets after all that hard work that we put into that project... I still need to weather mine too! Don't forget to paint the mic brown bess.
