Very cool. About how many hours did it take you to put it together? I'm still trying to decide on a tutorial to follow but I want to get my robes together first.

Where did you source your outer robe velvet from? Matches nicely with the Rubie's.

I don't want to ruin my helmet, either! :lol: I might check and see what I can find at an auto store to just tint it darker, like you said. Is there a particular tint percentage or something to get? So you can still see out? But I guess if it's made for a car you'd have to be able to see out anyways...

I didn't see screw heads, I thought they were rivets, but I'll have to look again. See if I can fit a little hand screwdriver in there and see if any of them turn.

Never removed a visor before...not sure how to do it. And how do you make sure that whatever new visor you replace it wit...

I too would like to know. I ended up going with the Rubies for now and it will be arriving tomorrow. I want to get started on the visor asap! Thanks for posting pics. The helmet looks even better than I thought it would. I do find that my shoulders kind of swim in it (like it nearly goes to the end...

So, my Rubie's helmet came in today! :trsuit: Here are various angles of it. It's a darker red than I had thought. I'll have to get my fabric and see if I'll have to repaint, etc. Let me know if you want to see any other angles of it. I'm anticipating changing the visor, you can see in the flash vs....

That is so cool! Nice work. Can't wait to see it completely complete.

Would any of these work? http://www.glovepassion.com/c=eiN9Xg9Q2j1CIfpgWDbOth5mf/product/3GSS941808/Sophisticated-Elbow-Length-Stretch-Velvet-Gloves-assorted-colors.html (in burgundy) http://www.glovepassion.com/c=eiN9Xg9Q2j1CIfpgWDbOth5mf/product/3GLFE17616/16-Button-Opera-Length-Velvet-Slip-on-Glo...
