Classic Army LWRC M6 Airsoft Gun Review
Helmet Mod Part 2
This mod is taking longer than I expected. Aside from the lack of time, testing of the design showed flaws in the adhesive I used. Simply put, throwing the helmet at a wall causes whatever I glued on to the surface to come off like a jigsaw puzzle falling on the floor.
Above is an what the back of the helmet looked like before I stress tested it. Yes, why use three pieces when one whole piece of PVC would be much better? Essentially I was using scraps from previous projects.
This is what I just completed today. No I haven't tested it yet on the wall. What I plan to do is to add small screws for strength onces the glue has fully cured.
You'll notice some spaces between the PVC and the edge of the helmet. I'll be ading some epoxy or similar filler to close them up. The sides will be made to allow the use of a headset should I choose to purchase one or build out of scratch.
The back end is now one whole piece unlike the first build. I might add another piece over the existing PVC to thicken the back end a little and add more protection.
So this is where I am at so far. One other reason for the delay is a change in the overall look. Before I wanted to replicate an existing design like a Mich 2001. After muh contemplation, I realized that though possible, it would be too complex and the basic shape of the helmet won't allow a one-to-one replica.

AATV's report on the SRC G36k. I wonder when this will be reaching local shops.
How to make a custom airsoft mask
I stumbled on to this video showing how to make your own custom mask. As I am in the process of modifying a stock scooter helmet for playing, I thought that this video would be a good source of information should I try my hand at making face masks in the future.
