Finally- MLC Helmet is done!

[Vec Toryn]

Awesome work, dude. Still trying to figure out exactly what I'm going to do when the time comes to get a helmet, but for the time being, I too will be admiring from afar.

Great Job!!!

This is the first time I have seen or heard of this helmet project. I think it looks fantastic. I missed the last run of movie sized buckets. I hope I don't miss this one. Cheers to the creator. Magnificent job.

Gotcha covered drvfett! You need a bucket, we'll take care of you!

Update:

Just wanted everyone to know that we have built an interior for this helmet - ala Ridell
Will have 'em molded by next week & pics would be posted.
Thanks!

If it looks as sweet as the prototype pics . . . . this is going to be ONE SWEET PROJECT!!!

Can't wait to see it!

The interior looks really sweeeet! It should fit the larger-sized helmets...

Oooh, I saw those pics! Damm, this Helm is gonna be kickass! Great work Mardon!

Stay safe.

I was curious also about the "a la riddell" part for the interior of the helmet, so I asked Mardon about it and he sent me this pic. (hosting courtesy of Secolfett)
Here's the mock-up he did, I think it looks AMAZING. . .

Holy Sh*t, he's a freaking mad man! I have never before seen someone with so much talent in the area of poster board, Fantastic work!!

 

[Bountys Hunted]

Awesome ain't it? Hell, you should see his 1/6 scale WW2 Vechs & Armor. If I didn't know better, I'd swear he was shrinking down Real Sized Vechs to sell em.

Once again, Mardon, excellent work!

Stay safe.

 

[Jangos kid]

Speechless!!!! I simply can't belive it! Awesome work Mardon! Can I be your brother? Can't wait to see what that looks like in a MLC bucket!

 

[SEEKER]

Man! you guys are scaring me. To freakin real!!!

 

[Slowmo]

OK, I'm curious about the interior workings. Are they going to be fiberglass or some kind of foam padding? I'm in the process of trying to get my hands on the interior of a few riddel fotball helmets to send to Rex and Mardon. I'll go and remind the coach again today about getting them to me.

Hopefully these pads will make a secure fitting bucketthat moves well with you and we won't have to worry about a hatband slipping around.

Thanks for the compliments guys! Yup, I'm definitely "nuts" when it comes to making stuff LOL!

I plan to make it all in FG - unless ofcourse if Slowmo could provide those paddings. I replicated everything in card & will be molded in FG including the paddings, but if there's actual paddings to use, then the FG parts will definitely be low in cost.
Dunno if it will fit other buckets - but its a custom fit for the MLC Helmet

This has been discussed before a couple of times but I didnt think it would ever come around. That looks awesome Mardon but I think that the FG will be a bit bothersome for some of us fellows with large noggins.

 

[Star Wars Chick]

This is the first I have checked this thread and I must say I am very impressed. The inner portion is amazing! Any possibility of doing a Jango helmet???

 

[mlcallanta]

Tk-Fett - not a problem my friend - anyone could elect having those FG cushions or not. If you could find real cushions, then so much the better. But if small noggin folks would like to try our FG cushions, then naturally they're welcome to it
I'll have both price options - those with included FG cushions & for those without Sounds fair?

Mirax - yeah, I think Rex got an order for our bucket being converted into a Jango. Just a little bit ear modification & covering the dent.
