Neo Crusader Helmet Help

That would be great, I don't have that many pictures of the suit yet.

Well, got these pics up finally as I promised.

Now, in the KOTOR games, we see that the helmet is flexable by the neck area and behaves like some sort of rubber or even spandex. Also in the game, they appear to be full metal helmets. Now that, I think, is what's most confusing and unreal about this. I've studied these from all available sources, few they are, but I know this is possible.

But the comic artists seem to have thought about this as well, and have produced number of versions, they are much more practical than the game version - they seem to be made for humans



Notice the visor area, and compare to the game version.



I put this one here to show how this might be put togather. Rare earth magnets for the mask?



And the last, it seems it's intended to be soft on top of the helmet itself.

I hope this might help you, and may you forge an armour like no other has!

Awesome find. That makes a hell of a lot more sense!

Hey Sarim, what issues where the pics taken from?

The top one is from issue #8, page 1, panel 3. The middle is from #20 and the bottom from #21. Hehe I know Novall, the game designers went for the cool look only. But I actually like the comic version better (Dustin Weaver's, top picture), and I'm sure a lot more comfortable.

Oh I forgot - the game version.

I have also come to the conclusion that the face plate is the only hard part of the helmet. Unless there is a hard helmet under the clothlike thing. I think the rest is flexible.

I have also decided that the best way to make this easy to put on and take off is to place a zipper or snaps along the throat line in the front of helmet. To help keep the helmet streched out I am thinking of makeing the base of the helmet either the top half of a T-shirt or makeing it big enough to set all the way across my sholders and pull the flack jacket over that.

As to the hard visor I think I am going to do a style closer to the comic version. The more I look at the KTOR version the more I think it would be to hard to see out of to be safe to troop in.

And thank you for the pictures I appreciate it.

I think it's rather this way.

Hard parts:

* Face plate
* Helmet (Not full helmet. Goes around the face plate to attach and down to chin. Then around the ears and to the back of the head. Then, the soft part goes from the top of the head (bottom pic) down to the neck, then attached to the jumpsuit.)

That's at least how I'm thinking of making it in the future, when I get a hang of this sculpting business No problem Z-man, I enjoy seeing some more having interest in the Neos.

Neos rock the world!

I make chainmail too, Z-man! I've found another maker! Woohooo!!!! XD
