Any ideas on current Pro-Tec (or other) styled helmets? I've used the Bravo Team helmet before, and they're not bad, but I'd love to find something more accurate and/or current.
Basically, I'm looking at starting some tricked out Modern Warfare styled customs. And on a side note: The Crysis2 ACR is a go! I modded/upgraded one with a 30 rd mag, ACOG, barrel, and vertical foregrip = sweetness. AND FYI... The Cobra ST vest is damn near perfect for modern stuff, after you remove most of the sculpted kibble and add more appropriate pouches, etc. Last edited by Obi-Shinobi; 01-18-2011 at 02:16 PM.. |

I have several of the OURWAR figs, but they're based on regular Army. Not that they don't have some possible uses, but what I'm looking for is something a little more like Delta/CIA Black Ops stuff -

I'm kinda surprised that "shop talk" about current/real gear isn't getting any play. With all the Ghost customs here and there, you'd think people might want to kick around some ideas or even get a good parts lists for piecing these guys together.
After all... there's more out there than just a SDS Ghost head. |

There are basic pro tec helmets out there but I think if anyone wants the added gear its gonna have to be scratchbuilt unfortunately. I think here in the US, 1/18 scale isn't popular in crafting. It seems like the majority of detailed items are made for 1/35 or 1/6.
If it was me, i'd use a combination of craft wire a apoxie for the added features for the helmet. It sucks, and it's time consuming but that's all I've got. Last edited by GI Guppy the third; 01-24-2011 at 05:40 PM.. |

Hey Gup,
Yeah, I'm ok with making the helmet detail (already have), but what I'm trying to get going is - ideas and parts for making these guys. Outside of Ghost, Roach, Soap, Price (main characters), I haven't really seen any of the dozens of MW characters being made. Like the standard guys you see/fight in the game, for instance. You know how it happens though - No one wants to speak up about anything until after someone puts up a really good custom... then it's "how'd you do that", "parts please", and of course "stolen". I'm trying to generate some interest from those who want it, to start talking about good (more accurate perhaps) parts choices and recipes. I don't know... maybe there just isn't enough of a draw for the "real" stuff. |

Broken Arrow has some pretty good helmets like what you're looking for. If I recall correctly they have one with a mic (I have this one It's pretty sweet.) and one with nvg's mounted on it.
