The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Hi Guys

Just wondering has anyone tried converting an M88 style helmet to a CM helmet?

The reason i ask is i found a cheap plastic copy of an M88 helmet in the back of the airsoft cupboad and wondered if it was worth giving it a go.

if anyone has previously tried this and made a thread about it could you please point me in the direction, as my apparently search skills suck :D

Thanks

Only difference I can forsee being a issue is the raised parts over the ears (to allow for headsets) that are on a m88 maybe use a trimmed front plate. The normal lobster plates and omitt the ear peice and use a suitable looking headset .

the helmet that i'm wearing in my avatar is actually made from two plastic vietnam style helmets,the first one is used as a normal helmet,the second is cut up with a dremel to make all the extra plates.
