so here is my finished helmet. Its a BKBT fiberglass helmet with metal ears and stalk from spideyfett. It has a BKBT resin range finder. It was rub and buffed with silver leaf and weathered with rub and buff pewter, ebony and spanish copper. the blue was painted with rustolium royal blue and krylon short cuts ocean blue.
I plan to add the interal foam molds when they become available and some day try and rig up the motor for the range finder. I also plan to pick up the helmet skirt when that too becomes available. let me know what you guys think...
Donnie, Is that the cold cast one? It looks much better than the one FP sold to me and JangoUri - we both had to RnB both of ours - they were grey, not silver...
It is technically cold cast underneath, but that is Rub N Buff on top. Mine was a "scratch and dent" and had a big crack in the front. But, it matches my FP Cold Cast gauntlets perfectly. When polished, the cold cast surface looks great.

So i've heard you say, many times already :rolleyes
It's bit perplexing, as the only castings to date that have had to have R&B, have been scratch and dent versions because of obvious repairs that couldn't be matched any other way. Others that have been sent out, have had raved reviews, besides yours and Uri. I'm really sorry that you are so displeased with your helmet. I tried to assist you openly, as taking care of cold cast object can be pretty subjective (there is much room for making mistakes and ruining the finish on these). But I still see comments like this from you from time to time. If you'd like to discuss it further, PM me will ya? I've never turned my back on a member, and have always taken care of my customers. All you have to do is communicate if you're unhappy. It's only happened 3 times in 6 years, but when it does, it really affects me. Because I care.
Foxbat - Maybe it's time to post those CC gauntlets of yours you just got? Perhaps to illustrate that my cold cast pieces have a little glit to them
Yeah baby and they are FANTASTIC!!! I'm awaiting on a couple of greeblies to finish them off before showing them off...but they are awesome.
Edit: Chris...I can show them off in their current state (I sent you a PM with some photos of how they look right now) or I can wait to get that missile and whipcord bent bar to completely finish the look. What would you prefer?
