Hey guys,

I just barely joined this forum and, Im not to sure how to navigate through it right now, but I just wanted to show off a helmet that me and a friend of mine made.

We made it from the wizard of flight templates.
 
Nice. Did you use the wedge-construction technique for the dome, or did you find yourself a batting or skater helmet? Either way the shape came out nice. Do you have any close-up pics of the earpieces and the rangefinder and stuff?
 
I used the wedge technique, but to make it more durable and smooth, I put a layer of bondo on it and sanded it. I'll take some pics of the ear peices and post them soon.

Heres the pics of the earpieces, I hope you can see them good enough.

Great job! My only critique is that your LEDs on the RF topper are in the wrong place...

I only mention it because it's a minor enough thing that if you wanted to change it, it should be fairly easy.
