Lancer helmet questions

[Ghost40]

So, I am going through the CRLs to prepare for lancer and one of the things is rebuilding the helmet. I know I have to paint the snout background, no issues. So on to the questions:

1. Seal the seam (its a cap/back type from SC). I see it's optional so I'm on the fence about it. I would probably use ABS slurry but I don't have any of the abs from the armor. I have other white abs, but the color might be off. So I'm torn on sealing the seam since it will require a complete repaint of the helmet and may not match the white of the armor. What are your thoughts?

2. Does anyone have a source for the 3M bolts? I've found some that are 3D printed but being small, some things just tend to look "printed" even when finished. 

3. Is there somewhere I can post photos for lancer to get some feedback? I mean, other than the request thread? I didn't want to gum it up with random posts. 

Reviewing the lancer requirements, I'm pretty sure everything else is good, if not close. I tried to build to the upper standard when I put it together.

1) Yes, filling the seam is currently listed as optional in the CRL. ABS Paste is the ideal, but if you can't match the plastic and don't want to do a repaint, then you may not want to go that route.

2) 3M bolts:

3) Lancer reviews are a lengthy process involving multiple people reviewing and coming to a consensus on the application. Due to the time involved, we do not do Lancer "pre-reviews". Almost everyone who submits their application has some sort of minor update that's needed.

If you have specific Lancer questions, similar to what you're asking in #1, then you can post those in the "ask an armorer forum". Otherwise, the best way to know what needs updating is to apply.

Awesome! Thank you for the info, much appreciated!
