Fool Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I believe I am getting ready to assemble my helmet. I just wanted some input on how the eyes look. Tell me what you think, and thank you.
Griffin-X Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 Nice and clean. I would come in a little more around the nose area though.
Chex Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Looks good. Prolly a little more all the way around.
Fool Posted December 1, 2011 Author Posted December 1, 2011 Thank you for the input, can I bother you for some more? I took about an 1/8' off per side, how does she look now? Also I thought that I read the people use Gloo to assembly their helmets, and that it can be bought at walmart, is this correct, or do you suggest something else?
lonewolf Posted December 1, 2011 Posted December 1, 2011 I used ABS glue and a small amount of super glue gel to hold things better as the ABS stuff was setting[approx 24 hours for full effect]. If you are painting this helmet I would use a sanding block with 240 -600-1500 grit wet and dry sandpaper on the flat of the nose to get a sharper front edge, Painting the line will be easier if you do this simple step. I think the two top eye corners are slightly too square, the eye sides could be a bit more rounded rather than this straighter way. The right side[looking through it] can be even more cut out, check with some original helmets for the warped look. Don't use the KS decals or snout piece, any questions just shout.
Fool Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 I used the KS decals I can take them off at a later date. Here it is almost done.
BananoPower22 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 You worked fast! looks absolutely beautiful. I used KS on mine but I didn't liked them so I ended up getting some decals from trooperbay, they were much much easier to put than the KS ones. BTW, that snout greeblie isn't KS, what did you used?

It's an MC snout. Do you have a link for trooperbay? I didn't think this went fast, I took my time on it, but I worked and studied it every night.
Griffin-X Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Looks great! Check out www.trooperbay.com for the decals.
