We talked about adding shut lines and stuff, but as soon as you start to do too much of that it tends to go away from the original.

Some guy made an Alpha helmet no?

Seem to remember seeing it on google images

Looked a bit too oversized though IMO

Would be nice if you got the helmet to look more realistic/practical

Our very own House of Usher has one although he doesn't post much on here at the moment. Im sure he wont mind me sharing the photo

[Steve Green]

Yeah, that's the termight one I think.

It's very tricky when you're producing headgear to sell that people want to wear, trying to hit a sweet spot of one size fits all.

[Daveycandlish]

Some say that helmet is the shape of a dog's head. I see it more as a cross between a badger's head and a chamelion. Just sayin'.

[8-Ball]

To be honest, I've never seen Johnny Alpha's helmet as a dog's head. I have always seen it as a futuristic version of one of those tricorne hats that were fashionable in the 17th and 18th centuries.

[Steve Green]

It's not a million miles of this, shape-wise.

[Bat King]

Indeed. The design works, it is big for a reason. That's serious kit.

Most S/D Agents wouldn't have one. indeed they don't, I can't recall anyone else sorting such a lid.

Looking forward to seeing what Dan comes up with!

[Steve Green]

Sniffer Martinez (Alpha's partner before Wulf) had something similar, but hardly any others do - presumably because it makes it harder to depict a range of mutations.

[Steve Green]

I've sculpted the helmet as a 3D model (it's taken about 8 versions), and handed it over to Daniel who is printing it out and figuring out scale, making it real.

You've hit on a nice in-universe explanation there - a piece of kit that good would be pretty expensive, and I doubt thee were many Dogs who could match the number of bounties Alpha brought in!

[Steve Green]

Yeah, he's obviously well off enough to be the only one who uses time bombs at 200 thou a pop.

Yeah, whether it is family money he took to redress the balance or the stack of bounties he pulls in. Dude seems to be loaded. Without it seeming wrong either.

[The Legendary Shark]

Who says he bought it? He might have prised his natty hat off the head of a dead outlaw or his Granny might have knitted it for his birthday.

[Bat King]

True...

But I just always, and I mean always, assumed he owned his S/D kit legit. I refuse to alter my opinions...

[Steve Green]

Well he would needed to kill more than one person with the same hat.

McNulty says he kept one of them as a souvenir, so he must have had more than one.
