Starting my build

[TKID51360]

Just got my armor the other day and everything is here im gonna start with the helmet because thats the part of it that I like most of the whole kit. Plus I think it will take the most time to get right. My kit is a studio creations kit. 

[TKID51360]

Anyone have a good tip for temporally holding the two pieces together before filling in the gap with abs putty? Currently using masking tape to hold the parts together .

Once you make sure the halves line up nicely AND form the correct shape, you can always glue a piece of plastic on the inside of the helmet underneath the seam. That will reinforce the seam and also help you keep it all together.

I had the thought to use air dry foam clay had originally bought it to make custom pads for the inside of my bucket

That way I can still move it and tweak it before it completely hardens

So I didn't like the alignment looked like it was leaning to the right and didn't think the top was high enough so I readjusted before it dried. Updated picture

Salutations... I'm also starting on my bucket, imma stay on the sidelines and watch you, if you dont mind.... I used cheap 99c double sided tape just to hold everything in place before glueing...

Looks good! Test with the face plate and visor (if completed) to make sure it all goes together nicely.

The visor is gonna need trimmed to sit flush against the cap of the helmet . What is the best way to fasten the visor and face mask together while they dry  used my vise grip plyers to hold the top and bottom together worked well. Or at least better then me holding them while they dried i did that first and was super hard to keep my hands straight with out cramping.

Can you post a pic? You should have two hip boxes in your SC kit did you get more than two?

Yes 

I have two of each of these .

[Retrofire]

That’s odd. The one on the right is the one you’ll want to use for your build. The left one has much too big of a cut out on the lower half of the box.

[Aradun]

I’m curious as to what this extra set of large boxes is for or from. Maybe you could reach out to SC to see?

That looks like someone was trying to get rid of a pair of KS belt boxes
