G,day. I needed a Talker Helmet for the Patrol Boat build, could only find a 3d printed which looked good but was made of a flexible plastic. So i had a old Hasbro aviator helmet that i cut up, added milliput and reshaped it, applied ground bird grit for the rough finish ( the real ones used cork ) painted and aged. I need to make the chin strap but waiting on suitable material. The mic and head phones where a lot of fun to figure out and put together, the felt ear pads are Dremel polishing pads punched with a hole punch the rest is mainly metal,tiny camera screws some real old leather, wire and styrene. I,m happy with the shape,but still i think i should have made the back a little longer, then again the model shown has a long pointy head (1999 BBI Pilot) and the HS it,s going on look,s perfect. Hope you like my effort,s i realize it,s not a popular subject Navy stuff and all, but the more i get into this build and research it i find all sort,s of thing,s . Most will associate Seal,s with the Navy in 1/6 Vietnam but there is so much more. Enuff' of my rambling on, enjoy. Cheers!
