I love the look of these complex futuristic helmets of the CTAC Guards in Altered Carbon.
The characters are usually shown in dark scenes, with their intimidating red frown like glow.
I want one!

I modelled this using reference images I took whilst watching the show,
A lot of scenes are in darkness, but I managed to get enough decent reference using both screenshots and Images of the official props from convention displays etc.
The design of the visor seemed to be a fine horizontal type slatting, I decided to go against this as I intend to wear this at conventions, and the limited visibility from all the detail parts cover my vision enough already.
So, I opted for a smoked visor, this way I can also utilise internal lighting to bring my face into view at the push of a button.
Detailed Slatted visor now achievable with an Elegoo Saturn!
I implemented a lot of functionality into this helmet, as showcased below:

This keeps the helmet breathable.
