  1. Separate vest and suit is right in my opinion too.
  2. Congratulations. I am still waiting for my MC Armor. Got the MLC Helmet first and only have to put the decals and snout on it
  3. I understand. I think the elastic starts right between the legs. So it works and i think i will use the idea with my codpiece. I will try a piece of thick rubber instead the styrene piece. It is more flexible and can also be hard enough to keep the shape. And it is easier for me to cut the shape out of a block then heat and form plastics.
  4. Great Idea. I fear its not very comfortable closing your legs. Did you try to walk with it ?
  5. Like i pmed before i would like one too.
  6. If you need pictures of my helmet send me pm with the angles i have to photograph. I will send them to you then. No Problem. I am glad if i can help.
  7. Hi Jeff. I wondered but this was what i got. I know Pandas Thread and currently i am trying to get some of the heating irons he used. Maybe i will get it back in shape. For the holes i think i have hit some good spot. Still a lot of work to do with the helmet but i think it is worth every minute. I am short of time so its a slow but sure build. The gap between dome and back is filled with the silicone right know. Looks great.
  8. When i got mine and was able to finish the SC i can post some. But there are new Problems coming along my build. I have to press the left side of the backpart more to the outside cause its beveled. You can see it here and from the inside it looks like this its about 2cm difference. This space i need to get the helmet on. So it would be nice if i got it fixed. Maybe with heat ? The other Problem is that i have to find the right spot for the holes to put all parts together. There are no markings where i have to drill. So at the moment the helmet looks like this or this And from the back you can see the 2cm gap also. Look here So you see that there is still a lot of work waiting for me.
  9. My wife has seen the gab when i presented her the helmet that i taped together to show it to her. When i turned around and looked a little bit up in the air. So i will try to sand it a little bit down on the inside where the parts are glued together and make new fotos then. I will connect the parts with 1mm double sided adhesive tape and see how it fits then. If the gap then is just 1 mm i know its from the tape and everything will be perfect. I will do my very best.
  10. Correct. The "center back" leaves a gap of about 2mm between its edge and the rising of the dome if pressed together slightly. its like the back needs about 1 to 2 mm more "edge" to get closer to line up with the dome. In the last picture you can see that i pressed the parts together fitting 100%. On the outside it will look then like picture 1 where the little gap occured. If i make the back line up with the dome then there will be a gap in the inside of the helm and the dome is no longer 90 degrees from the back. I think i should glue them together withthe smalest gap possible and then fill the gap like you adviced me to do.
  11. So i got this brand new helmet from SC and his instructions too, but i am not able to make it right. It is my first helmet and my first build so i am 100% making a mistake here. I asked allready e-i via pm and he told that i only have to push up the dome a little bit more. Its all about a small gap between back and dome. I havent glued, sanded or cut anything. I just tried to put the parts together. But pictures will explain my problem a little bit better i think. So here are the pictures so you can better see what i mean Worst is the worst case i am able to put the pieces together and best the best case. The inside is looking like this So what i am doing wrong ? Never cut or sanded any of the pieces. Just trying to put them together in the right way. Will it help if i heat the pieces up to bring them into the right form ? Sorry for my bad english but i dont know how else i can explain my problem. . So please help. Maybe some of you had the same effect and since he has build x helmets knows exactly what to do. I am a little bit stuck here. Greets Sascha
