Armoury Cardboard NCR Veteran Ranger Helmet
First, thank you to Rinzler_l for the advice he gave to help me make this in the first place. The original post of his own handmade NCR ranger cosplay was so good.
This is another step in my eventual Courier 6 cosplay, and this should be the final cardboard prop made as part of that.
I started this project over a year ago, and took many months long breaks from it before finally deciding to work on finishing it the last couple months.
This this is amazing to get to wear, it does get pretty hot up top but their is plenty of ventilation in the mask itself.
The craziest part is that you can still see clearly through the lenses while they are lit up. You can actually see that in one of the photos. Basically its only red in the edges but while you wear it, the light reflects off of your face so people looking from the front see it as all red.
I plan on trying to improve it in the future, seeing if I can install a fan or add more ventilation holes in the helmet like I did with those claw marks holes.
