GI Joe Gemini (style) Astronaut Helmet

GI Joe Gemini Style Astronaut Helmet 

For those in the know - Joes can have a variety of head sizes.  I designed this one to fit the larger head size I had in my collection. 

I use raw filament for hinge pins and as a means to attach the hose.  You can CA glue them into the hinge caps but because of the slight bend in the channel you don't need to glue them into the helmet and liner.

I've used clear filament for the glass section of the visor and the results are about the best you can expect.   It's kind of neat,  you can use GOLD instead, and that sort of looks authentic, too.

Printing in multicolor can be a challenge as you can see here the clear changed just a little once it was done with the red. I even set a ridiculous purge volume amount.  Still, not so bad and if you use an opaque filament it won't show up as much.
