Making a Helmet

Post by Danx-Ren »

Hello. I am new to this forum and the process of using forums in general. But that aside I am attempting to make a Helmet out of vacuum forming. :tr: I have means to do the forming but I was wondering if there was any advice on making the mold for the helmet. I know past individuals have used replicas but as I am trying to save as much money as possible, I was hoping to make the mold myself.

What would be the process behind making a mold? Is is doable or should I just bite the bullet and buy a replica.

Thank You

There is a forum member that sells kits he makes from his mold. May want to check out his threads. The first is his sell/trade post, the second is his build thread.

Maybe because it is a Mac? :tr2:
