Imperial Speedster Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Greetings Troopers !! Am in the process of completing my Scout I'm looking for advice/guidance on how best to 1: Align one cheek of the helmet on my SC Helmet as it is slightly ajar, heard suggestions of a Heat Gun. Have not yet used one so guidance would help, Lol. 2:Cutting of ear holes, details/guidance of how best to achieve screen accurate look 'Turned In' look gratefully appreciated. 3. Grey 3M Bolts for Visor Hinge. Have explored Imperialsurpluscom as suggested. Am attempting to determine if they stock them as the site is Heavily geared towards Animated Clone Armour. WHERE could '3M Grey Bolts be acquired if that site proves a dead end ?? Help most urgently requested.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Post up some photos of the helmet. That'd help with any advice. If you follow the instructions in this thread, you should be able to purchase some grey 3M bolts: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=10270 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
762s Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 imperial surplus is the link chopper sent you .. i suggest, like chopper did, to read the first post and follow ALL the instructions kwdesigns requests/posted. i have ordered from him 2 different times and all has been good, shipping, communication in emails, tracking #'s ect. im not sure on the sc plastic thickness ... but, for my rs kits the plastic on the helmet is thick enough to allow a heat gun on high heat to heat up the helmet and make the adjustment there instead of on the visor side areas where the plastic is thinner... heres instructions and a pic of how i adjusted my rs kits.. again, this may not work for your sc plastic .. please use caution! ~ the blue area on the helmet is the point i use to tweak the sides of the helmet in, out, forward and back ~ only heating one half of the helmet at one time ... NOT both sides! ~ have a fan on high near by to start to cool the plastic when ready ~ repeat when plastic is cool as many times as needed as for the ears ... check these links for how a screen helmet looks http://forum.bikersc...llery&album=145 http://www.starwarsh...oper_helmet.htm ~ i draw a line from the outside ~ cut with razor knife (some people use a drill to make holes around the line for easier cutting) ~ sand to the drawn line ~ adjust with sandpaper hope that helps .. good luck! edit : i will add that i would test the tweak method i posted by pushing pulling on the point in blue to see if you can get movement and closer alignment before adding any heat. if you do use a heat gun .. PLEASE, go slow, very low heat and for very short periods of time ... depending on the plastic sc uses .. you can ruin the plastic pretty quick if your not careful! i have tweaked 2 don posts and 4 rs kits with my method ..
