I am usually the one getting help, so I am glad to help others

@Pledford @AradunFF The video is still processing, but it should be up in a little while. A bit of a rush job, but it should do. https://youtu.be/_5mTWXoZV-s

If I got time tonight I could probably do that.

Altman helmet with Imperial Surplus headband
TwistedZen replied to TwistedZen's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
I ended up putting 3M Dual Lock "velcro" in the top and on the headband. It is all one type and interlocks instead of hook and loop. Shout out to @spyder918 for the help. https://imgur.com/a/dQvjnHn <-full album and further description -
So I purchased the helmet headband kit from kwdesigns/Imperial Surplus to put in my Altman. I previously had a non-adjustable hardhat band that was ok but I definitely wanted something easily adjustable. The problem is, the headband doesn't fit perfectly in the Altman helmet. I though it would line up with the bolt holes, but nope! It was suggested that I drill a hole just next to the bolt hole and put another on in the headband itself to attach it that way. Anyone else have the same setup and have any dos or don'ts before I start drilling away?

The boots are in there. The helmet is in a separate bag. I had a motorcycle helmet bag, but I just picked up a flight helmet bag because it's got a long strap on it. Plus Velcro for patches.

So I might be traveling a bit with my helmet and I was wondering what people use for a padded helmet bag or hard sided case? I have a motorcycle helmet bag now, which has a little bit of padding, but not enough to really protect it well. It is fine to and from troops, but that is about it. Air travel is a bit different, something I could use as a carry-on would be perfect

Fixing cracks in Altman helmet
TwistedZen replied to TwistedZen's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Armor/Helmet
The inside is not cracked, it looks like just the paint. It is only about a year old, with maybe a dozen troops under it. I don't tighten the bolts too much either, for this exact reason. -
I have had my Altman for a while, but the top of visor near the bolt is cracking a bit. I am just wondering the best way to fix this and maybe prevent it (as best I can). Thanks!

Scout Bag Items Sourced
TwistedZen replied to dreadmaster's topic in Scout Trooper: "The Mandalorian" Weapons/Accessories
So the one I got is...gross. Any ideas for cleaning and dyeing? Any particular dye brands/colors I should go for?
