ruskiiVFaussie Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Cool ok! As you see i have no idea. :P Quote
Jeremy007 Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 If the first run sells well, I will definitely be doing other styles and add-ons. add ons? like what? Quote
GeneralMayhem Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 add ons? like what? A chinpiece and faceplate for the "space' version has been discussed, see above. I should have updated pictures to show soon. Quote
Jeremy007 Posted October 9, 2007 Posted October 9, 2007 yeah, seriously looking forward to seeing what you are doing with this. Quote
hirohawa Posted October 9, 2007 Author Posted October 9, 2007 yeah, seriously looking forward to seeing what you are doing with this. Same here Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) SO. time to bump this thread, i'm sure all are keen to see if there are any updates or atleast some progress. Edited July 24, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
GeneralMayhem Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) Clear plastic is not a problem. But I won't be making other helmets until after current projects are completed. GeneralMayhem- Will you be offering a Macross Plus, Isamu style helmet, complete with clear top? I am pretty sure there is a way to make clear resin/plastic.

Mr. Troska! Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 No, the Yamato one was HUGE, and had no padding in it etc. You basically paid 1500 bucks for a painted plastic dome. A $1,500 plastic dome should at least have a Farraday cage; IMHO, fandom has its limits. Quote
GeneralMayhem Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Just a small update for this long dead topic. This is not an invitation to order one of these, just my way of showing everyone who called the project "vaporware", that I finish what I start. Enjoy... Quote

m0n5t3r Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 that don't look like vaporware to me... great job! ... i wonder how it will look on somebody's head??? Quote
GeneralMayhem Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Maybe Matt will be nice and take some pictures for you. Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Supposed to be for Mac Aus Con 09', but was delayed in customs, not that i had room to bring it with all the prizes accidently getting sent to my home addy. lol She is perfect, and superbly done, and yes this is the only one ever made (besides Steve's copy!) and it's mine baby all mine muahahhaha. Working visor, padding although i am a little on Hikaru's size, and needs a little fixing to fit snug, and she's light and easy to do some poses in lol. Plus the missus looks SEXY!!! Yeah one day i'll do pics.. Ever since Misa tried it on it's been a dream to have one to get the missus to do a little cosplay in haha. I know Steve's super proud and it's been hard to keep it a secret! ^______^ For all those guys at mac aus con 09' wishing they knew what the big surprise is well.. cats outta the bag! Plus Steve did some really nice professional pics so i'm glad he did the honours. I kept the faith in ya Steve! Edited June 1, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
big F Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Looks like the vaporware just solidified. Great work, I love it. I'd still love to have a helmet like that for using on the road on my bike. If only O.K now someone who knows industrial sewing machines go out and make flight suits Quote
EXO Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Oh wow. That's beautiful , can you make the mouthpiece attachable and the visors? Quote
GeneralMayhem Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 Matt and I are still debating a detachable visor/chinguard versus a more stable integrated space helmet. But that's already in the works. ~ Steve Quote
hirohawa Posted June 1, 2009 Author Posted June 1, 2009 Glad to see this came to fruition. Looks awesome! Quote
GeneralMayhem Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) Thanks, everyone. Here's the custom stand that goes with it (something the Yamato helmets don't come with)... Edited June 1, 2009 by GeneralMayhem Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 (edited) Yeah, the stand looks really good, will just add to the display at Mac Aus Con 10', brilliant work Steve! And yeah EXO as for the attachable chin guard and space visor, originally that was the plan, but we just ran out of time, as Steve played with a few different ways of how it could work, and in the end he wasn't satisfied. Of course i would love that option, and i really do hope Steve can find a way. Whats the vote guys?! Edited June 2, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
Ghadrack Posted June 2, 2009 Posted June 2, 2009 Looks great, also looks like I rubbed someone the wrong way a couple years ago Congrats on the finished product looks pretty rad, I'm jealous Quote

Are they going to be in kit form or painted? How much? Thanks Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) I believe Steve will open pre-orders once he catches up with alot of work he pushed back in attempt to get this done for mac aus con 09' but.. I hope the space attachments are done up for mac aus con 10' to be honest like planned, then pre-orders can be thought of, whats the vote there guys? Edited June 3, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
EXO Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Can we get one done in time to display at MWCon in July? Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) i'll spew if that happens, i paid out of my ass to get this helm done in time for mac aus con 09' which was my ultra cool item to show off with pride. and steve couldn't hold the secret long enough for mac aus con 10' hahaha. Dammit Steve! 0_0 *glares* Edited June 3, 2009 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
GeneralMayhem Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 Sorry. after looking at the old posts implying I'd never do it, I had to prove otherwise. Actually, I was surprised you hadn't shown it off yourself, seeing as how you have the first in the series! heh Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted June 3, 2009 Posted June 3, 2009 oh i'll show it off don't worry its totally frickenlaserbeamattachedtomyhead awesome! wanted to get it pad'd 1st tho Quote
GeneralMayhem Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 You all have Matt to thank for his encouragement. As Matt indicated, I had to put off several other projects to get his helmet done for him, and we're always booked months in advance at any given time. After my former partner fell ill and I was forced to put off the project for a while, the first people to order canceled on me, and I simply shelved the project altogether. It was Matt who convinced me to pick it up again and complete the prototype, and now he has the first one to show for it. I'd like to accept orders for others, but considering my past experience with the board, I'd rather not have a repeat performance of what occurred when I first began the project. Quote
KiriK Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 excellent work GM! If you do take orders or make any more for other members, we'd love to have it as a display piece at MW Con in Los Angeles in July... i would almost consider it a possible entry for our annual Customs contest and it could very well win a prize! i also saw your site that you have an order button and price listed... i'm tempted to order it myself... hehe Quote
