whoooo! It would be fun. I'd have to get a second helmet. I just might after finishing my costume build. I have saved (blush) WAAAY too much "stuff" for making such stuff like this. You know, glue on this do-dad, and that gear thingy and some wire looms, paint it black - POW - sci-fi looking coolness! I guess I do need to use it all someday, good idea Big AL!!!
I'll have my current helmet on my suit *ONE DAY* when it is all done, for a full body display. Maybe I'll have him doing a pose?! Hummmm *SUPERSTAR*

Re: MY HELMET
FYI, I amended an earlier post because I DO believe this to be screen used. I have learned that there were many different ways of assembling these helmets and with different types of the same hardware, etc. At one point, after showing this here, I did not realize this fact and temporarily doubted it's origins.

Re: MY HELMET
Hey I can't remember if I asked this already, but what was the original voltage that the screen used eyes ran on?
I ask this because I connected my helmet (here) to a big 6 v battery and it runs fine, but it seems a tad dim. If I ever make a display for it I want to run it and maybe be able to plug it in to a wall receptacle. But I don't want to fry the electronics. So a transformer is the likely solution. But transform the voltage to what?
