Look, I understand no one is really interested in me espousing the ongoing minutiae of friggin’ V2 Barricade, but I thought I’d post again to point to a homemade helmet hack that was almost successful. A couple weeks ago, I cut off the bottom 1/3 of Grand Slam’s Riot face-shield to try to make the face-shield look a little more like the vintage visors. I kept that little piece of face-shield figuring I’d do SOMEthing with it. I tried last night to glue it to a half-shell helmet to see what would happen. Well, it almost looked good. Started by painting the face-shield with some Testor’s Clear Red. I tried to sand the face-shield and front lip of the helmet to get both pieces to fit flush, but was ultimately unsuccessful. The face-shield seems to have a slightly larger radius than does the helmet, so the face-shield kinda “wings” out at the ends. But, I guess if anyone with more talent were to try, this could be another customizing option. Just thought I’d share.
Damn rob thats turning out to be insanely awesome! Espouse away bro….thats some good info for all us customizers who may not now or looking for alternate methods.
