First, these are ones I can make for sale on demand…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cobra Viper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cast in urethane resin with an impact resistant, mirrored motorcycle helmet visor. The goggles are also resin casts with fake chrome lenses and elastic strap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update March 2024: I just got the first finished helmet from my v4 mold. After speaking to some of the folks who approve applications at The Finest Costume Club, I decided to make the tech details on the back of the helmet permanent pieces of the castings. The old version just had a blank panel that needed custom details added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copperhead<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These are built on old motorcycle helmets. I vac-form ABS to do the facemask and ear boxes. The mohawk and in-ear detail ridges are cut from thick EVA foam and coated\/painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wild Weasel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Copperhead facemask is also useful for Wild Weasel, Cobra’s Rattler pilot. This is built on a cheap replica flight helmet (US Vietnam era, I believe) with the added facemask and a few layers of foam for the rear shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
