Looking for Buck Rogers 1980 style helmet

[KageRyu]

Has anyone ever made or come across a flight helmet in the style of the E.D.D. Starfighter Pilot helmet from the 80's Buck Rogers TV series? I have some sequences I want to finish off that require pilot shots, but none of my fake or kitbashed helmets have the look I really want for it. I really want this:

Would you be able to do something with this?

It's not the right look.

The closest thing I made was for my Star Storm product that I never quite got finished. But maybe it could be adapted and released as a freebie (for personal use only, since it is a copy).

While that is a beautiful helmet, and I would love to have it (still holding out hope for Star Storm) and I could find many uses for it, it doesn't have the Open Face I need for the project in question. I have tried painting the needed textures on many differing helmets but I really want that 1980's Buck Rogers Look.

I knocked this up today

for Carrara if it's of any use to you it's in the wacky modeling thread over yonder

thank you so much @Stezza . I just need to find and install my old Carrara and I can convert it. If I can download it, I haven't gone near those forums since 2012.

Well, I was sorta offering to adapt/remodel to suit, but thanks to Stezza I don't have to.

Yes, I still hold out hope for Star Storm--maybe at Rendo when Dawn 2 comes out. (Fingers crossed)

@3WC I am sorry I misunderstood. In my defense I have a lot on my mind and am under a lot of stress lately. Though my Flash Gordon/Rocket Ranger could always use a good morphing helmet too

I may not get a chance to convert and texture this until afyer new years. It's looking like I need to make the final trip back to Ohio to settle up property matters, and not going to drag workstations along this time.
