MMM\'s Scratchbuilt Metal Head Can **UPDATE** Painted Pix

Thanks so much for the support.

BJF, the only thing I'm dreading more than the 38 caliber acid test, is the inevitable Tom-and-Jerry-hit-the-pot-with-the-big-spoon test.

That helmet looks badass man . . . .

You know, you people here make me sick . . . with your "talent" and "making things" and "doing it yourself" . . . . makes me look bad! hehhee

I know how you feel EGO the only thing I have hand made was an attempt at cardboard gauntlets and the next morning my mom threw them in the trash cause she though it was garbage.

 

[Megalomaniac Mando]

Aww, dude. That must be a mistake. Maybe she was drunk or something?

Seriously. There isn't any secret to any of this stuff that any of us here do. Granted, some have gifts of perception etc., but the skills are all acquired. I would love to have you all come to my house and pound out your own head cans. I always look forward to one of my proteges bettering me; it's the true mark of a good teacher when your student learns enough to then be the teacher.

Wow dude... that's so cool. I'd love to be able to work with metal like that. Really cool.

To be honest with you, when I saw the first profile picture of the painted helmet I couldn't stop thinking about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

Sorry man... not that it looks bad... cause it DOESN'T. It looks cool! I guess I'm just odd like that.

How much does it weigh??

 

[Megalomaniac Mando]

THAT'S where I've seen those colors! ....Actually, WC, I would have never thought of those Turtles. That's funny though.
And Tabomabi, it weighs in at a hair under two pounds. The earpieces and stalk should make it pretty close to two pounds even. I'll emphasize here that probably half of that overall weight comes from the steel dome. You really don't notice the weight when it's on though. No worse than a motorcycle helmet I'd wager.

That is sweet looking MMM. I'll have to check it out at home to see it better. (compressed graphics at work, I can't see much )

How's the rest of the suit? Will you be working with more metal? Will the suit be the same general recipe as the other Fetts or are you going for a different armor scheme? (meaning guns, holsters, different jet pack, etc)

I'll also admit that at first I thought using an army helmet to start with seemed just this side of crazy to me as well

MMM, congratulations thet helmet looks grate. You are very talented.

 

[TK Fett]

When are you gonna add some earpieces and and RF to that thing MMM. Speaking of TMNT is it ok if we call you Shred Head with all that metal your wearing?

 

[Megalomaniac Mando]

You can call me anything except late for dinner, TKF .
I'll be starting on the earpieces soon, I just got the aluminum for them two days ago. I still need to do a wee-bit more research on them first...at least the right side one.

IM just ribbin you buddy. What did someone mention ribs. No jokin though if you can pull of metal ear pieces your bucket will be the one to rule them all. Keep us informed.
