are the rothco ones as good as the military made ones ?

Recently I've been looking for an affordable, good quality tanker helmet. Sadly there aren't much out there. Great video!

Pleather?😳 Ready to mount lulu bella?🤣 Jman

That's actually not too bad for what it is

I highly recommend thermoplastic for casting things cheaply and reusable. Though if you’re doing resin casts it might be too hot. It’s relatively cheap and might be an interesting thing to try. It’s called “blue stuff” sometimes and often comes in blue plastic bars. Looks good though!

What Price Glory is a godsend, truly affordable reproductions that are pretty good, albeit not perfect.

you need a resin printer. they are cheap enough. you could easily make those "receivers" on tinkercad made to the right dimensions.

Unfortunately those M1944 goggles are not suitable for WW2, nice work otherwise though

It would look better if you weather the helmet and would also be cool to display 👍

But shouldnt it be baggy so it camouflages better

like i tell my husband who just customized an Italian police ballistic kevlar helmet for his job WEAR GLOVES WHEN YOU PAINT 😂 😂😂😂! for crying out loud

Another thing to consider is that when they were originally made the hue and patina could have looked quite a bit different

I did a resto mod on a Belgian m1 that I got from my local surplus store. The helmet was this weird green color so I decided to paint it. Made my own cork from an old coaster that I sanded with course sandpaper in a tray. Then I got some paint from Home Depot and it actually turned out pretty well!!! With the exception of the non period correct chinstraps it actually looks pretty good

No, they’re shit …!

can these stop shrapnel?

they look quite good are they the right material on the helmet itself?

how do you only have 69 subs you deserve more

MAYBE not historically accurate look, however, I used some of that textured "stone" spray paint. Just a Walmart rattle can spray paint that has a fine/medium texture to it~ than I sprayed OD over it. Turned out really nice.

Sadly...not enough texture ! You should have used much more cork !

Yea I’ve noticed that bout’ the longest day

Nice dude I subscribed to your channel

I'd say it seems like a good idea if you want something custom, or a project, and don't want to modify a historical piece.

You should do a Military Tour

Great video! I'm going to try your method!

If you Take Just the Cover by itself and Soak it in hot 💧 Water, Then stretch it over the Steel Helmet, that seems to work a bit better.

Tbh you deserve more than 35 subs

What sewing machine did you use? Ive looked into bar tack specific machines but too expensive!🙄 Jman

REPOP?😂 Jman

Had mine awhile. Currently washing it to try and fade it abit to get that vintage look.

nice

I have the exact same repro cover, i cut it so it fit my chinstraps and now its nice and tight

Nice

thanks for the vid a descent cap at best not to bad

I tried doing this but the paint I used was horribly inaccurate but when i got the paint it looked like the accurate color.

The pot isn’t as deep and the front of the dome isn’t as high. It slopes more gradually than the WW2 m1. It’s kind of hard to tell until you put them side by side. Great work though. Easy to see why they’d use them in ww2 films.

You done a good job on a china made M1 to make it look real ww2

Those Chinese helmets were the same ones used in the movie Hacksaw Ridge

Hoganmyer crusher?🤣 Jman

Occifer?😳 Jman

Unfortunately they copied an 60s production M1 rather than a WW2 example which is shaped differently!🙄 What sewing machine are you using?🤔 Jman

Que usas como textura? que material es? Gracias

So I REALLY would like to get my hands on a decent replica. Any Ideas who might be a good maker? I don’t want to waste time and Money on some cheap Asian Knockoff…

I think it looks German as well.

This is interesting. I have a roached out vietnam helmet i plan to do this with. Id love to see your other helmets.

It looks exactly the same. Sweet "trick"
