Honestly...kind of hard to tell on a mannequin, throw it on, snap some pic's.
Helmet looks sick, well done man! Just kinda hard to tell how it works on you if it's not on you... |

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to get a few opinions on the new addition to my Cobra Commander costume. I'm wearing the same uniform, but changing up the headgear. I purchased the cheap ass helmet at Party City, but just couldn't bring myself to wear it... so I decided to custom make my own! I purchased a helmet from my local Harley Davidson store and went to town on it, customizing it into a pretty damn cool CC helmet... using the face shield from the crappy helmet. I'll be wearing a ninja style mask underneath to hide my ears and any parts of my face that hang below the shield. So here's where I would like some opinions. Straps: yes or no? They look pretty cool when they hang down, kind of like General Patton, but kind of look crappy when it's snapped into place. I think it could look pretty cool with the rest of the uniform... adding a militaristic feel, but I just don't know. Here's some pics of the helmet: So whattaya all think? |

Yeah... I had a feeling that may be an issue... I'll be purchasing the under-mask this week, then I'll take a snapshot with it all on.

That's the look I was going for! Yeah, I know he never had straps, but it looks pretty damn cool with the straps on. More militaristic. That's the reason for the poll. I'll post pics once the uniform is complete.

Looks pretty freaking cool, LL! I need to see it on you, but my gut is saying lose the straps if you can do it and not have the thing fall off your head.
Your other one is badass (I just like telling you, bro) and I cannot wait to see more of this. Well done, sir.

I'd say lose the straps. They could work but he is the Cobra Commander and Chief. I just think the straps downgrade him a bit.
Looks really damn cool though. How did you do the silver face plate? |
