Do you have any idea if Trooperbay's decals match the Krylon gray you used? I think I might go with them just because it's the only decals I've found so far. I ruined my KS decals since I kept removing them and placing them over and over again. :/
-
krylon? primer light gray or just plain gray? i'll go and see if there's a can in my local Home depot
-
does mc's snout come painted?
-
thanks. i still need to get the accurate bolt covers, snout greeblie from mc and a set of decals from trooperbay. i'll try to get these things as fast as possible so i don't freak out lol
-
okay! i trimmed it, i hope it looks okay now. what do you think?
-
i've been sick these days, so i haven't been able to trim the eyes. and every picture i've seen, the eyes look similar to mine.. so I don't really know WHERE and HOW i should trim to make the eyes look just right. Does anyone has a picture that can help me?
-
Thanks for the tips. I'll have to remove the lens, but that's good since I didn't really get a nice heat bend on it. I used a hair dryer and it seems like if it wasn't good enough and the lens doesn't fit properly now. From the front, it looks like every inch of the lens meets the plastic, but it doesn't. I don't mind it, but if some photographer (once I start trooping with it) will notice it, and people are too fond of camera flashes, so they'll notice even more... so I'll do both: give the lens a proper bend and trim the two sides, I'll see if I can do it tomorrow and I'll post up some pictures.

i trimmed the visor today. does it look okay now? |
-
i'll try to get the decals asap.. as well a new snout piece too? i think i've read that KS' snout isn't accurate and needs to be replaced? i wanna go for lancer too just in case. and for the visor, i saved the pictures and i'll use them for reference for when i trim tomorrow.
-
not bad for a first time build huh?! o got really overwhelmed at first but i started looking at some pictures and started trimming away and assembled.
-
got some work done yesterday and placed the decals this morning (it was a pain in the @$$!) hhere are some pics the visor can be lifted up! with the lens glued any tips? critics? thoughts? something that bothers me is that the black stripes that go on the back. is there any trick that helps me place them without any problems? i think i have to place them out individually and that's not really my thing, my hand is not steady and i'll probably end up screwing up one of the lines... the three stripes on the 'forehead' are clear evidence of what i say.. i probably removed each stripe like 20 times so it looked right. also, another thing, the snout, i tried using the gray i used for my tk helmet but the KS' gray is a lot more lighter.. is there any paint out there that matches the snout decal exactly?
-
luckily the helmet got here yesterday! it was kind of overwhelming at first, but i got here and started some minor trimming.. i don't have any pictures yet.. but if i'll get some up soon right now, the only thing i've trimmed is the visor area, i'm going to start working on everything else right now, hoping i can finish the helmet as soon as possible
-
I haven't gotten any emails yet.. but how long does it take for the helmet to ship and get to our hands? Considering that I live in puerto rico, it MIGHT take a little longer for mine to get here.. add 2 - 5 days since i live outisde the US
-
ugh, i haven't got anything yet. i'm checking my email every 2 minutes... I can't wait!
-
Great! Take lots and lots of pictures!
-
Well... that sucks... The usual waiting game never gets old >

Well ladies and gentlemen... I placed my order yesterday (September 28th). Just recieved confirmation that the helmet is currently being worked on! Here's the email that KS sent me: I am super excited! Everything I think about is that kit lol.. I just hope I won't get too overwhelmed by it! I've built two TK helmets already, so I figured that it shouldn't be too difficult. I've got clamps, a hair dryer, dremel, e6000, a little bit of experience and lots of enthusiasm! I've bookmarked a couple of build threads for reference; so with those, it'll (hopefully) make my build easier. With all that's been said... 2-3 weeks seems so far away! What should I do in the mean time? Any specific tools I should get that'll make the build a lot easier? Cheers!
-
Just ordered the helmet kit. Can't wait!!
-
Gracias por la respuesta! Hare lo posible para encontrar esa tela aqui en Puerto Rico. Si no la encuentro, la buscare online. Thanks for the answer! I'll do my best to find that material here in Puerto Rico. If I can't find it, I'll look it up online.
-
Of course, I'm hoping that I'll be able to create a build thread but sine it will be my first scout helmet build I'm super scared. I haven't even bought the helmet and I'm freaking out already But of course, I'll let you guys know!
-
I'm getting my KS next week. Can't wait!!!
-
Excelente! What material did you used to make it?
-
What NOT to use on your helmet.

However, you could use it for holding up the piece... for example, you cover the whole area with e6000 and add a little bit of hot glue so it holds up in place until the e6000 fully cures. -
Indeed it does, i've even had problems when i want to take off the velcro sometimes. it's very strong!

Ugh, sometimes I hate my big 12 inch feet!
