New Cybermen

HELP WANTED: CYBER HELMETS

My first blog entry, and I know exactly what to say... A you might have worked out, my current fascination is designing a new Cyberman skintone (I did make an old one, but it was the first thing I ever did in Body Shop, and my lack of skill at the time I made it really shows...). The new one has photorealistic textures and design elements from early sixties cybermen as well as the ones in the new series. Unfortunately, what it does not have is the characteristic helmet, and the thinking caps can only do so much (The light bulb is great, but the colour is all wrong, and they can't wear it 24 / 7 in any case)...

Now, if anyone could advise me how to take the earmuff meshes (which cames with Seasons) out of Body Shop, then I could make helmets to match this skintone. I can't seem to do this myself, so I expect that it requires some sort of hack. Especially if the hair is to be avaiable as an everyday option as well as outerwear (which is all the mesh is normally set for). If anyone can help, please PM me or email ajdburns@yahoo.co.uk. Thank you.
