K, I'll get the party started ... my apologies for not giving more pictorial updates here. But until recently, there wasn't a finished kit to take pics of .. just the hopes of one 
Now, there is something to show, besides the rough stuff that no one is usually interested in. You have to figure, this was still barely in the molding stages (just out of concept) when the FPH page was established. I wasn't holding out on you guys
So here it is, pics aren't that great as usual lately for me, but this is what the FPH kit officially looks like in the form of how it was shipped. The rest of the list will be open again by the end of the week.
Fiberglass laminated construction, white gel coated outer finish , with a white epoxy coated lining. High impact urethane greeblies (not the cheap resin), hyperfirm chin cup / RF polaroid piece. The RF top is thick rotocast with a hollow interior for electronics. The clear RF insert, is obviously clear cast. It is not however, crystal clear. Purposefully so. It's supposed to be aged / worn. The backside of the insert is frosted / sanded to conceal the electronics on the inside . The helmet is trimmed, primed, and ready to paint.
Now, the rest of you ... POST AWAY !!! Lets see some CLEAR shots of this stuff. I'm too darn tired to fiddle with camera's and lighting

Mine arrived today, too! I haven't opened mine yet, though. Told myself I have to finish all my chores before I can play with my toys.
As soon as my clothes are out of the dryer, gonna put some mood music on (ESB soundtrack), pour myself a nice drink, and commence to cutting open the box!

Mine! Mine! Mine! Hooray, it came!! I'm the proud papa of FPH #9.
Absolutely, utterly fantastic. Flawless (and I mean that literally) castings, amazing sculpt, and the smell of gelcoat. . .
Ah! Sweet, sweet gelcoat.
To say I am impressed would be the understatement of the year. This is going to build up into a superb helmet.
Thanks so much FP!

Am I the first to post pics with the SpideyFett/evan4218 ears mounted on the FPH? Do I win anything?
I temporarily hot-glued the RF to the stalk so I could get these pics:
I'll probably use steel wool to blend the finish of the aluminum pieces, but...WOW! Outstanding job to all those involved with these recent projects!
