It’s late here and my helmet parts are in the workshop. I’ll take some pics when I’m in tomorrow Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi mate No offence taken. There are no trim lines because every time a helmet is assembled it will be slightly different. You’ve only got to remove a difference of a couple of mm of each back half to make a previous templated visor not fit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

the best way to join these I’ve found is to brace the parts with strips of abs on the inside of the join and stick together with a liquid solvent cement whilst clamped in position. . Once that’s set fill the gap with a abs paste made of scrap bits of abs and the liquid solvent cement. Leave that to set overnight and sand smooth. I then pretty much cover the whole top of the helmet with a plastic bumper filler which is slightly flexible. And as much over the back seam that is permitting. Sand that smooth and a paint with a filler primer and make good. Than you can top coat.

I built some helmets lately. They do look nice once finished. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking good. Glad to see you back at it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I make the strider armour.

Good news for work and bad news for building.

Any updates?

Just stumbled on this build thread. What a great thread. Glad the armour is working out. 👍🏻

Oh, you guys [emoji4] Thank you. It’s means a lot when you get praise and good feedback. When Constantine approached me with the idea of producing his armour I was humbled by the idea. At that point I was only making stuff either cast from original production made props or my own sculpts. This was the first time I had ventured into a fan sculpted armour. But this sculpt was so good it wasn’t hard to say yes. After many months of moulding, tweaking and testing of plastics we are finally there. And to compliment the Strider armour I approached John aka Lonewolf to see if I could complete he set with his amazing fan sculpted helmet. He said yes! So I believe although not cast from original production but cast from original sculpts we finally have a top notch looking affordable armour and helmet. I think unless you stand next to an original you’d be hard pushed to see the difference. Thank you Constantine and thank you John, without you guys and the likes of Ken this kit wouldn’t be were it is now. A lot of people forget or don’t even think about how long and what problems occur when developing armour and helmets. Although most of the hard work had been done in the sculpts I always put my own mark on things. Let’s be honest I’m pretty anal. [emoji23] but that works in your favour. Thanks! Happy Christmas guys.

Looking like a nice build. I'll keep an eye on this.

Sorry posted in the wrong thread.

There is a interest thread up for the CFO/Strider Armour. No helmet yet as I still have to work on that. But I’m nearly complete on the armour moulds. Just a couple to mount to boards and a few tweaks and I’m done. Just ordered some pinseal abs for Monday and will start working down the list.

Did you package arrive yet? I sent it last week so hopefully you will have it soon.
