EC-17 Holdout Blaster Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Hey all, I have a friend who recently bought a scout trooper helmet. From made away creations props and he discovered that on the bolts provided with the helmet, there is a small square section near the base of the shaft, and was wondering if anyone else had any information on how to deal with that, I personally used a Dremel with a sanding bit to round the edges on it, but that took a long time and was not very practical, is there any better way to fit a bolt like that into a helmet, or will he have to sand it down? Thanks! Logan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gree23 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I used a soldiering iron and squared the hole by heating up the plastic and shoving the bolt throw. Actually works really well to maintain the face in the up position without slipping. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I marked the dimensions of the square in pencil, used a drill bit to core out the plastic inside where I'd marked, and then used a file for the rest.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
