  1. Thanks Sebastien! Do you see room for improvement on the return edge of the faceplate? I would love to hear your feedback brother👍!
  2. Finally Finished the helmet! I think it turned out quite ok. Made myself a raised snout out of a piece of 2mm ABS instead of using the decal KS had sended with the helmet, and Installed tactical helmet padding. I'm going to replace the other decals and the gray bolt/henge cover in time. It's only for display and not mentioned for Trooping. It turns out a bit purple at some angles, but that's due to the ABS Kropserkel uses. Thanks for all the feedback and advise I was fortunate to receive during the build! That's gold! But if you see room for improvement, please let me know. I hope you Scouts like it! http://20190716_145028 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_144821 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_144806 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_144740 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_144720 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_144637 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_144706 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_144619 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_144555 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_144929 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://20190716_145153 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr
  3. Thanks! I will post some progress later.
  4. Pulled the faceplate and visor loose yesterday and repositioned it to divide the gaps more evenly. I used good old E6000 to reattach it again and clamped it. Hope this will do the trick! http://Scout by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://Scout by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://Scout by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://Scout by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr
  5. Thanks Chopper! I have all the tools and glue you mentioned above. I will give this a shot first👍!
  6. That's an awesome gesture👍! First I'm going to try some less rigoureus actions, if all of that doesn't give any results I will call in the Troops😀!
  7. Hi Sebas, Thanks for your help! I will take it into account, but that means also that I have to paint the helmet and that's something else 😬 Greetz
  8. Thanks Greenyone! It's taped together, and test fitted it on the assembled bucket. I think shrinking the visor width can be a solution, but it's a radical one... Cheers!
  9. I'm running into a problem while building my KS helmet kit. The visor seems to be to wide to fit properly attached to the faceplate. The left side fits pretty nice (I think) but I have to force the right side in place to stuck to the visor. As a result oft his there is a lot of force (torque) pulling on it which causes it to tear both parts apart of each other. So far I have used Scotch 3m foam tape (as recomend by Kropserkel in their build video) to bond the sides. Should E6000 do the trick? Or some extra trimming somewhere (like in the left top corner of the faceplate)? Hope you guys can help me out with this one! http://IMG_20190608_095558 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://IMG_20190608_095324 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://IMG_20190608_095219 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://IMG_20190608_095422 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr http://IMG_20190608_095516 by Marcel Steffens, on Flickr Thanks!
