Darth Tader Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 So at this point I'm just building the helmet (not terribly worried about certification that may come later) but I have a couple quick questions. 1) Of the people already building. Are you painting the helmet and "visor" separately or are you attaching the visor then painting. if your attaching later.... HOW??? also is there enough room behind the attached visor to get a paint brush, rattle can, or airbrush back there? 2) Where would be the appropriate place to put a WIP thread??? HQ seems to have a few but also seems t be more of a place for research. Thanks in advance May the Tader be with you, always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PropReplicator2 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 By the visor do you mean the lens or the visor piece above the faceplate? Sent from my KYOCERA-E6560 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll see if I can get you an answer for 1) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 It would depend what kit you have whether or not the visor comes pre-attached. Most people would use e6000 or CA glue to attach it if it did not come pre-attached. Painting again would depend on the style of helmet. Jim's helmet for instance has the pre-attached visor. Painting is really no problem though. HQ would be the place for a build thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
