I've begun work on a new Helmet for Greyryder V1. I plan to make a mold from it, for casting, once I'm finished. I may have a use for the copies, haven't decided yet. The current plan, is for the helmet to modeled after the Ruroc cold weather sports helmets. I'll be extending the mask area out for a more snout like look, and I want to add an MX-esque visor similar to tops of the heads I made for the two Autobot Greyryders.

These three bad castings will be at the core of my helmet master. This will be a swappable head, not a removable helmet. Don't know how much of that goggle detail will actually survive to the end.

These robot heads were made to look reminiscent of a wolf's head headdress. I want to try to incorporate this style into an MX style visor on this new helmet. It should a bit toned down from those.

I love the concept also. And I suspect these early WIP pics severely understate what I expect the final piece to be - (i.e. awesome!)

I take it Greyryder doesn't mind if people discover his alter-ego? Wearing a wolf-inspired helm might be a bit too much of a clue, if he hopes to keep it "secret".

Thanks guys.

He is a bit more open about the whole werewolf thing, than he probably should be. I've decided that GR V1 is a separate person from V2, but I figure most Greyryders wear similar helmets. (Ah, the fun to be had, when characters have interdimensional capabilities.)
