Hello everyone! I have been working on a Rocketeer project for over a year now, and the project is quickly coming to a close so I felt the need to share my build! I am trying my best to finish this up for Dragon Con 2013. I am gonna divide this build into several posts; ranging from the helmet, the leather gaunlets along with the outfit and finally the Cirrus X3 itself. So lets start with something fun: the helmet!
I started off with an Ozymandius Rocketeer helmet. . .

It was a really clean cast, so there was very little clean up, other then cutting out the eyes and vent holes for the mouth and on the temples.

The paint job was pretty easy: primer > Rustoleum Metallic Gold > Antique Gold Rub N Buff > A brown & white acrylic wash.

I also installed a helmet liner from a member here named Valor. The helmet was really easy because of how good the parts were I started off with. I finished it within a day. Next post will be the gaunlets and over all outfit!
Bonus picture! My buddy Chris making a phone call outside of Grand Central Terminal!
