This page is a mess, we're throwing it together super quickly so there's SOMETHING here. Feel free to clean it up and/or poke us about any errors - The Collective

Here's a genera overview of parts we use. This is in no way a prescriptive guide of things you must use, just some ideas.

Variations of these parts are available for cheap from various online stores (ebay, aliexpress, etc) but will require some drilling and screwing to assemble. and maybe some modification

Hardware

Machine screws: We got a pack of assorted M3, M4, and M5 ones in black at a variety of lengths and it worked out pretty well.

Tools

- A drill and bits that match the screws you want to use

- alan keys/screwdriver that matches the heads of whatever screws you use

[Put some helmet examples here]

Visor

Ours were called "Full Face Mask Shield Polarized Large Mirror Sunglasses" in silver. Typically, you pull the arms and nose bridge off and attach two of these together.

Antenna

Typically made from RC HELICOPTER BLADES

Our ones are 21 CM blades from a "500 SERIES ESKY BIG LAMA RC HELICOPTER" but there are a bunch of variants. they come in left and right versions and you can buy them in sets of two or four

Base

This is what sits on your face and all of the bits are attached to. Ours were called "Airsoft Mask Impact Resistance Safety Mask" The visor screws directly to this. check out assembly#drilling guides

Addon bits:

Rails

Adds structure to the side of mask

Clips

Adds more definition / holds the visor to the body. Ours were called "Carabiner Lightweight Tactical Plastic Buckle Mountain External Key D"
