It's looking great, Tom! I can't wait to see what you do to the inside of that bucket. THe last one had what, 50 volts worth of battery power? This is going to have 75 maybe?

There will be alot =D Luckly the visor optics are run by their own small rechargable pack. I'm sure there will be 70+ volts in this helmet...there's plenty of room for it.

This helmet will have day/night optics on inside of the visor, the RF also has working day/night optics. Voice amp as well as limited channel comms, an RF servo with remote board. There will also be fresh air pumped up into the helmet via the rubber hoses and 2 silent battery operated pumps in the jet pack as this helmet will have a leather seal around the bottom.
That enough =D I don't think I'll be able to squeeze much else inside.

this is going to be the greatest thing since gold bond medicated powder!
Be cool to integrate a camera into your RF. That's an idea I toyed around with.ShatirLavan

What about X-ray vision? Not that you really need it at D*Con though, with how little is worn there.

Trying to keep this practical and as close to what an "in universe" helmet would have in it based on what we know from the movies, books, and comics. There are some down sides though. The visor optics unfortunately only show a small amount of viewing area, so I still have to look out the sides of the visor to get a full picture of who is around me. I thought about making it show a rear view, but I didn't think it would be a good idea if my eyes were looking at what was behind me all the time =) Might get pretty confusing actually.
LOL, yeah you don't need much x-ray vision at DCon.

Perhaps in the next version. Right now I'm perfecting one direction before worrying about another =)

I'm gonna go for the rear-vision cam... stick it into the middle slot on the back. I'll let you try it out if we ever meet up, so you can see if you want to incorporate it.

Wow! Your helmet looks awesome! I got one of these from M_S as well. Having never seen yours before here's what I did with mine. Still a long way from being done, you're right though, it's a nightmare to mask...that's why it's taking so long to do, I have to be in a very patient mood to work on it!
Great color choices too!

That's looking great, Darcy! Wow, that helmet really lends itself to the black and white, doesn't it?

Yours looks great! I'd really like to be able to use it to figure out what I'm gonna do for paint for mine... PM on its way!

Great work! Both of you!!!!!
Hey Novall, Although that is not the first time I have seen hoses on a mando helmet...I must say, that looks great!

Visor optics have been installed, and work great!
The bright spot on here is just the camera. It is color vision, with low light enhancement for night time.
I've walked around with it on, and the biggest problem is just getting used to the distortion. Once thats worked through then there shouldn't be any issues.
