Steampunk Project: Part 2

This was the steamtrooper helmet. I have some nicer paint that might work for it now, though.



The initial helmet design with most of the stuff in place. I was always disappointed with this helmet. It was just an $80 piece of vinyl crap with cloudy lenses you couldn't see out of and it just kind of bent and got warped. It was poorly stenciled and it wasn't hard, shiny plastic like the guys in the 501st have. Well, now was the time to change that.
