BananoPower22 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Hey guys, my 3m bolt covers got here today and before I start painting them I want to assemble them.. but I don't know exactly how.. Here's the bolt. At the end of it is a nut And here's the hole I made on the helmet so I could hold the front plate and back plate together But there's a problem... the bolt fits just fine, but the nut at the end makes it impossible to fit and the nut is almost the size as the area itself... w/o flash Should I cut the hole up a bit more wide so that the nut can go through or do I trim of the nut?
Jasmine33 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I had to cut the hole so that the 3m bolt sat flat in the hole
Boba Leo Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I had to cut the hole so that the 3m bolt sat flat in the hole Yes, I did exactly the same thing!!!!!! Leo
BananoPower22 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Looks much better! opened the holes a bit more and it sat perfectly. This case is now closed! Now I'll go and paint it
Boba Leo Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Much better Juan!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!! Leo
BananoPower22 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 thanks brothers, here's how they look now painted, they look awesome although glossy, but I don't mind, looks cool next I need to paint the inside of the helmet, i think i'll use the rubber coating they use on the bed of pickup trucks.
Boba Leo Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Juan, Why to paint the inside of the helmet?, At the request of lancer says: Black material to be added inside to create depth. These photos are from the original helmet. look carefully at both sides, you can see that there are black material. I hope this help you Juan Abrazo grande, Leo
BananoPower22 Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Awesome, so ill just take a black tshirt and cut and glue it to the inside. Much better! I was kind of bummed since I thought I had to paint the inside... Jason David Frank ( Tommy from the original power rangers) is stopping by this may and I was hoping that he'd sign the inside of my bucket... Lol

I've had some awesome people sign the inside of my TK bucket: Weird Al, Lance Henricksen, Peter Sumner... I've been told by people in my garrison that painting the inside of a bucket makes it easier to see because it reduces the amount of reflection from whatever light does reach inside. This is why painting the inside was the first thing I did... and the easiest.
