Ok here is my first helmet.
And now for the project, I am starting with the vest, I know this is not the normal place to start with a build but whatever
I got the vinyl for the vest from this old chair someone put on the railroad tracks by my house, yes ON the tracks, the chair was pretty messed up but I managed to get 4 sheets of vinyl off it and the piping from the edge.

Well I wont be able to sew the vinyl I got on my sewing machine so I will have to buy some vinyl thats not so tough, but when I went to buy that I discovered the my dear mother "borrowed" some money from me so I will have to wait for next Friday and my paycheck, therefor no vest yet so I started modeling my helmet in Solidworks and I will also start on the ammo pouches.
Heres the start of the helmet.
