Murdoc Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I plan to build ZSH-1-2M(no face shield!!!) similar method used at my custom mask(I'm cheatin' a bit; I used silicon form, not that plaster one): So I would need some dimensions from a RS ZSH-1-2M: I need(mms-or cms): -maximum windth -maximum length -height -material thickness at the edge -rubber windth covering the edge As I know ZSH-1-2M is smaller than ZSH-1, so hence the lower photos are from ZSH-1(as I know), ZSH-1-2M would be better... Thanx 'comrades': Flippy :wink: Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I worked lot on my ZSH copy, and it starts to look damm good: I used polyesther resin PUR/PVC foam pieces, the negative form was made from special silicon, and plaster... Internals will be transplanted from IBH/CVC helm... Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 I suppose I'm late in suggesting this but you could have used a motorcycle helmet. The outer shells of modern helmets are made of abs plastic so you could have heated the ears a bit and form them to flare slightly outwards. Also, there's this: http://equipcenter.ru/en/product/zsh-1-replika/ Link to post Share on other sites
Murdoc Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Riot helms, and moto helms are damm hot, that one will be much comfortable. Just minimal sanding and painting required. Plus I have to figure out, how to cover the edge: Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Fair enough. Though in my experience it's the snug polystyrene interior that makes motorcycle helmets hot, when you're not riding that is. For the edge you could find similar stuff in automotive supply stores (there are some on ebay but expensive) usually called rubber trim or edging for lining fairings and door windows and such. You might also see something similar in hardware stores as flexible door mouldings. They make them in all sorts of shapes so you really need to be there to find what you need.

Tom Andrews Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 You can get textured spray paint from Homebase, although it won't be the right colour, you can overspray it to give the roughened appearance you require. Link to post Share on other sites
JCheeseright Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 not sure they have Homebase in Vietnam.
