okay, i just made a mold of the box in the back of the helmet. i pealed the clay out, and man, i do have to say, it turned out pretty good. there are some mistakes, but, overall, it turned out pretty good. now, i am going to use some of the Plasti dip for it, cause, i would hate to have something hard in the back of my helmet. i'll let you guys know how it turns out.

yea, sorry i haven't posted any pics. anyway, i have made the side peices out of risen, and fiberglass. they turned out pretty good. i need to make a few modifications, but, its coming out pretty good. i have made the back box, and need to make a mold of it. once i get some plaster, i will make a mold, and then, cast it from fiberglass, and risen. i'll probably sell the peices on ebay this month.

I found a Icecube tray laying around and I made a test to see if it could be used, I failed, However I was going through old clothes and found a kneepad that is put inside a pocket on a workpants and it had similar shape as to the padding in the riddele helmet. I´m gonna go to the warehouse and try to find something similiar beacause the one I had were to badly worn and covered with oil. I was thinking about diping it in the plasti dip, I tried it on a pice of sponge that I had and it worked well but these knee pads have a smoother surfce.

I´m at work right now but I have a couple of pieces drying at home, will take pics and post. These are turning out great.
They don´t look exactly like the Riddell pads but they look great though.
I think those pads in the helmet were specially made for the riddell version. I´ve looked over a ton of football helmets and have not seen that version although the shape looks the same on individual pieces
Here are some pics

Perhaps I missed it, but what are those little things you are using and where can I get some?

ya know what, i had a thought last night. i was thinking that all this would be cool and all to have in my helmet, but, then i was thinking, is it going to be worth it all? i think it will be cool when its done, and i'll be happy with the results, but, its sure taking me a long time. i hate being a perfectionist. i'll try to get a camera this week, and take some pics of my S.....L.....O.....W.... progress.
