Go slow at first to get the jest of it, then bang it around on the high points. Take the helmet outside on some concrete curb or use a rasp / file and start grinding on the high spots. When pliable, form them to the locations on the helmet and hold in place until they cool and get stiff again. Get some welding or heat resistant gloves and use a heat gun to soften those pieces. The curved - multi-angle pieces like for the visor retractor, are adjusted several times first with the tag board, then when correct, use the snips to cut them from PVC. So I cut another piece of PVC and doubled up the side walls and glued them together covering the screw heads.

The sides of the Mohawk were somewhat wavy and I was afraid flexing would crack off the bonding putty. Trace on PVC cut and screw it down to the wood supports as well. Make a template from manila tag-board for the top of the Mohawk. Screw the Mohawk side pieces to the wood supports. Transfer the manila templates to the PVC sheet material and cut them out with a tin snips or band saw. Tape them together and keep cutting, taping, and cutting again until they are what you need.
Not in the photos I trace the contact line to the helmet and how the visor retractor tapers up as it has thickness away from the helmet.Ĭut pieces of manila tag board to match these shapes. Trace out the shape you need on the helmet in pencil.
The actual AP-6 helmet used has CURVED visor retractor knobs, might flight helmet had them straight, so this was the first modification. Trace out the shapes as seen in pictures from the internet on helmets used in the movies.
