    Operation Meteor: Part 6

Like last year with our Quanta armor, I didn’t have time during the final few days of building and the subsequent rush of the actual convention to churn out the final build log chronicling our last leg of the journey that led to the full Wing suit.

This week a big focus was working on the second part of this commission – scratch-build ranger helmets for the pilots of the…
