Benjamin Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Alright everybody, here is my attempt with the SC helmet. I am using the plastik only version incl. visor from SC, Decals from TB and Nose from ebay. Now its drying time. Soon I can start with the finishing works. I used E6000 glue, does anybody have an idea or tipp about removing it from the helmet? Silicone-remover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colby Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm very happy to see someone working on one of these, I myself am building an SC helmet right now. I'm going to be putting the screen in the ears today and hopefully get the screws in. Did you glue the visor to the faceplate? Here's where I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have not attached the visor. I am a bit scared about it and actually don`t know how to do it properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Progress with the bucket. The helmet is a bit tight, specialy because of my glasses. I have the feeling, that I need to go the MLC route.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwattsup Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I thought MLC was a tight lid too. You may have to go the KS route if you want extra room as well. What's your head circumference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 I have 60-61cm, about 24-24,5" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwattsup Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It's so hard to know exactly what lid to go with. Wish they had a virtual fitting room on the Internet. Where does it feel too snug at Ben? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 When I close the front it pushes my glasses. And I don`t have any padding added yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwattsup Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Wow, that is tight. Nothing like having the bridge of your nose mashed in. Can you trim more at the top of the snout to accommodate? Maybe some padding on the top to push your eye level further down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 No, I tried the maximum. Its pushing at the sides and my glasses are really small. Bottom line is: I need a bigger bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwattsup Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Sorry just trying to help. I really need to get in touch with my future garrison so I can try on different lids. Lesson learned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Thanks for the heads up.... The chances were 50/50 to fit. I will go the MLC v3 route I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 OK. After the first try I ordered a KS Helmet Kit. Arrived last week friday and I started to build it instantly. Here is what it looks like right now. I used the 3M Bolt kit available here in the market place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 The KS helmet gives me the couple % of a bigger size I needed. No more problems with my glasses. I ordered the decals from trooperbay as well as another nose greeble. Should be OK, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Not just the bucket is coming together well, I am working on the boots as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thanks.... What would you so... paint the inside black? I am at the point where this decision needs to be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I personally do not have mine painted black. I've got black material behind the ear sections though which creates depth inside the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 I did some progress on my bucket as well. I had a big point to handle... attaching the visor. But I found a easy way including a pair of snaps, some hotglue and a piece of elastic. Und mir ist ne recht einfache Art der Befestigung des Visors für den Helm eingefallen, da hatte ich noch Probleme mit, jetzt nicht mehr. Schnell austauschbar, hält gut und alles wird gut.. Works just finde, I think I will redo the connection with 2k Epoxy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRISTONAMO Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Did you keep the SC helmet? Or are you going to sell it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hey, No I sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
