Helmet progress

[Davyhoogy]

Huge thanks to @mwpe for taking the time to go and pick up a package for me and post it up North!
Me and the Mrs are going to London for the NFL on Halloween so we have booked a big private halloween party to go to on the Saturday.
Kate is going as a slutty referee (pictures to follow haha) and I'm going as a Quaterback hence the helmet.
It's old so I'm going to do it up a bit make it look all nice.

Original scruffy helmet:

Haha kind of the look I'm going for:

No mate, honestly. Never been into Orlando City on a Saturday night before this. It's a mad, mad place mate, maybe like Amsterdam?

Oh and put a few battle scars on the helmet you don't want people thinking you ride the pine all season. Maybe a few grass stains would help with the image!! 27-34left-hup-hup Drink!! JIM

Ps maybe a couple lengths of windshield washer hose for straws?? JIM

Just add a pump, switch and small battery Davy and you won't even have to suck
