Unlimited Run Tron: Legacy Rinzler helmet

Greetings Programs!

You can now get a 4th Tron helmet from me: Rinzler! - either fully finished or raw cast.
You can read more about how it was built here.

**I have updated the lighting from a one-color EL wire to an RGB LED strip that comes with a remote control to change between 20 different colors (including white), adjust brightness, and offers a few strobe/fade effects!!**

Here are the options (shipping is extra - pm me your postal code for actual costs):
- Raw Cast: $170
- LED Light kit: $40
- Fully finished with lights: $310
- Add plug-in AC adapter for lights-on display: +$10

The Helmet is a 1-piece clear and tinted urethane cast. It is wearable, meaning you can see out of it. Because it's tinted, it's like wearing sunglasses. This makes it more difficult to see at night, but possible. It also makes it difficult for others to see you inside. Because this is roto-cast, not vacu-formed, visibility is distorted, but not foggy or hazy. The opening in the bottom is oval and is roughly 6.5in. (16.5cm) wide x 8.1in. (20.5cm) deep. It slips over my head with little problem (gotta tuck ears in), and my head measures a circumference of 23in. (58.4cm). Once my head is in I've got lots of room. It's just the opening area that is tight.

The LED Light kit includes custom RGB LED strip, 3-foot extension wire, 12v battery pack (for 8 AA batteries), remote control to change color (20 colors including white!), brightness, fade/strobe effects, on/off.

Also included with either raw cast or finished are the lenses required to help disperse the light. There are four white lenses for the sides, and one white lens for the back.

I do not include foam padding, as everyone's head is sized differently.

And last but not least, this helmet is not for road-use!!! It's not protective AT ALL, and is intended for cosplay or display.

Awesome, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one interested in a Rinzler helmet in 2022!

My main quandary is whether to go for a raw cast (with the LED kit) or the finished article. I'm not sure about which part would need to be masked off before spraying and wouldn't want to balls it up!

That's the easy part! =)
The helmet is masked off on the inside - just the area where you want to see. Then the inside is sprayed with a flat black Rust-Oleum.
When I mask, I usually start the top of the visor area 1" away from the upper lights, to allow for wire routing. I will also follow the molded lines for the sides of the visor. And the bottom is totally up to how much you want to see, just making sure it's symmetrical.

Hi Crimson, I'm interested for buying u a Rinzler helmet. How I can contact with you?
 
The cycles haven't been kind! My home renovation is still taking up all my free time. BUT I fully intend to get back into making these helmets since there are still enough of you crazy Tron fans out there. =)

I will be sure to update this page when things are back up and running again. Thanks everyone for your patience!
