Fistful of Energon

Thank you! I will look into laying fiberglass

Unfortunately they are through. It has managed to stay intact

Unfortunately. Such is my luck though.

I finally received my CB. Though extremely happy to finally have, i have discovered 2 small cracks. They aren't visible while worn but a problem nonetheless. they are located where the visor mates with the back half of the helmet (im sure there is a term for this so please enlighten me) right where he installed straps for the chin cup. I have ordered some zap a gap as per a suggestion from a fellow 501ster and intend to use that to repair crack then reinforce that with some Fixit Sculpt that i do currently have. if anyone has alternate methods they are more than welcome.

I will, I think I work a little too slow and careful for the guy who is helping me patience, lol.

I did some more cutting and sanding today and managed to get the back and the top glued together. We used zap a gap and its held like a rock.

Cucblack, your inbox is full but I would like to inquire about buying one of you're helmets. I did message you on Ebay under boo304dp

Very strange. Thanks for looking into out though

I too feel like it is meant to fit with the rounded cut facing back...

yea, I see now that the visor needs more work. Here are some mock up pics of how it looks to best fit to me. Feedback is encouraged! thanks!

ok, I have been working on my KS helmet with what little free time I have and this is where I currently am. I welcome any feedback. I have a little sanding left to do but i think im pretty close to being able to start gluing. my biggest challenge at this point is figuring out how to piece it together. the top and back side of the helmet looks self explanatory but the visor and faceplate has me a little stumped and I dont want to make a mistake. any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated

the quality is pretty good, there are a couple small imperfections but nothing like I have seen elsewhere

Thanks! I just got my KS kit yesterday, on May the fourth (how appropriate)

I should be getting my KS helmet by the end of the month according to them. Getting very eager to start putting things together.

I got my headband and bolt kit yesterday.

whoops! maybe a bit too big of a pic

My replacement snout piece and hook decal came earlier this week

very cool! i plan to just buy mine lol

do you have a photobucket or something similar?

My SA gloves have arrived!

Hell, I would love to take some, but everything is either on transit or production

Is the lens that comes from KS not dark enough? Ive read that there might be inconsistency with how see through they are.

Contacted SA about gloves just to give it a shot and it turned out that he had one small pair left with a minor flaw in one of the gloves, I totally bought them! Gloves done!

This was the email that I got from them: I am unaware of any unaddressed concerns about parts we have shipped, but note that there has been some confusion about the visor edge and how it is to be cut from the form. The portion of concern is aft of the cut off point (to be discarded) and not on the finished part. In the past, we had cut straight up along the aft edge, and rounded the pivot point of the visor. Recently, implementing better reference, have elected to further emphasize the visor point like the originals, and cut down from this point. When receiving the kit format of the helmet parts, there is an indentation in the region to be cut off, and this has led to the concerns you are likely reading about. We had not realized that this would be perceived this way, and will be tooling the model so as to allay this concern, but it will not affect the models, save those who want to use a direct straight edge up past the visor pivot point in the builds.

KS helmet will be here by the end of this month blaster acquired replacement snout detail and hook decal ordered Accurate bolt kit along with headband kit ordered not a bad start!
