TKID51360 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKID51360 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 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 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKID51360 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 I had the thought to use air dry foam clay had originally bought it to make custom pads for the inside of my bucket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKID51360 Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 That way I can still move it and tweak it before it completely hardens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

MAD1_TK45001 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dart Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Looks good! Test with the face plate and visor (if completed) to make sure it all goes together nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Retrofire Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
