Ditto on the lining. That looks fantastic!

yeah whats up with the liner there man?

Hello...

Glad you like it guys, Thanks

The padding is actually made entirely of very thin, reinforced gel-coated fiberglass..

It's just a prop..it doesn't get in the way of your bucket when your wearing it though..it just looks cool !

Nice. Looks like the inside of the riddell mini helmet. I already have a bucket, but do you sell just those lining pieces?

too bad it cant be made of fluffy, down-filled little leather pillows. That would be comfy!

There is the type of foam that they use for car door ams and other similar products that I've seen. I 'll try and find out if they make it for public use. A company that I used to work with when doing Theme Park design exhibits utilized a "spray in" foam that had and exterior skin and foam back. That would be cool! I'd love to have a few sets for my helmets! It would be like the old Riddel football helmets from the 80s.

I'll see what I can find out.

Yea MOWS, You should produce the interior stuff. Alot of us would certainly hop in as customers.

Pretty pleeeeaaase.

Hey Guys....

I've looked into all those great suggestions...really !

Skin forming polyesters...expandable foams...even sent designs to a manufacturer to make Neoprene versions with a nice smooth skin on the tops of them...That's what I really wanted !

A $2800.00 fee just to make the aluminum molds and then a minimum order of 24 sheets of the little devils at $250.00 a sheet !

I even thought of casting them out of polyester or Silicon rubber just to make a cheaper version...

The fiberglass ones do the trick and I don't plan on taking on any Wookies or Sarlacs with these buckets so I settled for the gel-coated fiberglass puppies

But you never know....

Vary nice. Great idea.

Can ya make us some???? Pleeaase! You could actually coat them with the spray on/dip vinyl.

That is one fantastic helmet !!!

That lining looks great

So are these helmets for sale and/or accessories available?

great idea, what I would suggest is simply going to ebay and typing in "football helmet" and getting a cheap used one. Gut the helmet and apply to your fett helmet.

Maul is genious! Group hug. See you at Academy Sports and Outdoors! I bet there are a variety of little foam pads at sporting goods stores.

My goal was to create a lining that resembled Ron Cobbs interior designs of the Nostromo, from the original ALIEN...
