Helmet casting?!

Hi all,

Can anyone on here help me with a casting of an Aero-Viper helmet and/or WORMS helmet in custom color?

I need either of them for a custom project and it will have to be in Eels grey or Wild Weasel red if possible. I have contacted Hotdog on YJ as I know he has done some cool custom casts of the Aero-Viper helmet but so far no answer.

I was just about to say Hotdog, I know he did a transparent aero viper helmet.

Can you post some photos up mate? Just to give me an idea? May be able to replicate them for you.

Sure, its these helmets I am looking to get in custom colors.

I have included some shots of the figure itself and with the two different helmets mounted (still need to find a suitable nick name for him ;))

Ps: sorry for the picture quality but my DSLR cam is for service, going on for 3 weeks now and I miss it :roll:

I reckon I can do them! Are they squishy or quite hard? they'll be hard once cast (the new ones)

I got some casting to do at moment, so if you want me to have a go send me the helmets (and ideally the figure to use to check the made ones fit okay?) and I'll give it a whirl??

That would be awesome! The originals are made of hard plastic and fits just right on the Astro-Vipers head.

I will have to calculate the costs of sending this "signed for" as I would hate to loose one of my precious Aero-Viper helmets in transit ;)

Alternatively I am looking for any Bftb´s who might live close to SteveD and can assist with the original helmets and maybe an Astro-Viper to check the fit?
