Thanks for that. It was looking like that might end up being a sticking point for my project, but no more.

Correct. The neck extension and the chin vent piece were both laser cut. Let me know if you need a set as I have plenty of material left to make another 2 sets I think.
Wow! That would be awesome. $?
Shoot me a PM so I can get your address and all that and quote you accurate shipping.

Wow. You can't even tell it was the same helmet. Great work!
Thank you!
Thank you! Hoping to paint the collar over the next few days and put the tusks on.

Wow, that's spooky DarkLyte, I did exactly the same with mine last weekend! I wasn't going to post photos until I'd modified my chin vent and repainted the collar but here's a (bad) quick one anyway. I haven't flared as much as you because I made my neck extension shorter than yours (wish I'd made it longer now!) but I think it looks better than it did when it was straight. Shame I burnt my thumb in the process though

Looks great!! I think the slight flare really added to your extension. Can't wait to see it all repainted!

Is that gloss black on the lower (duplicator by chance)? And did you (will you) clear after the gunmetal on the face and neck? And one more...I think I read that you cleared the helmet but wasn’t clear if you laid a layer of gloss black first or just over the stock plastic? Thanks.
Nice job. I gotta finish a couple of projects before diving into this.

The collar currently has Rustoleum Gloss Black on it. Since I sprayed gun metal on top of the stock black plastic on the face, I wanted to make sure I would get the same effect on the collar when I spray it with gun metal. I did very light misted coats to let some of the black show through under said gun metal. I already sprayed gloss clear on the face but did it conservatively as to not make it too shiny. I just left the black plastic parts bare and sprayed gloss on top of it. The result is awesome! I did not clear the helmet yet however I might do it in the future.
