Griffin-X Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I know SC is addressing the decals but Trooperbay has some top-notch decals too.
Chef Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 yup, I can second TrooperBay decals. Superb, I use them all the time.
Evil-Inc Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Finally finished the SC bucket that my son will wear (experimented with the build on his first just in case I made any mistakes... LOL!). I've always considered that I had a largish head but it seems to fit me ok. Whilst not as roomy as my Altmanns, still very wearable & looks great.
M.J Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 Ladies and Gents.....I can wear my glasses under this new helmet!!!! one word I can see! well thats three, I couldnt with the KS one

recon Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Could anyone provide some frontal and side shots of the new SC helmet as compared to the MLC ver 3? Tks
Kaltblutfreak Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 When i got mine and was able to finish the SC i can post some. But there are new Problems coming along my build. I have to press the left side of the backpart more to the outside cause its beveled. You can see it here and from the inside it looks like this its about 2cm difference. This space i need to get the helmet on. So it would be nice if i got it fixed. Maybe with heat ? The other Problem is that i have to find the right spot for the holes to put all parts together. There are no markings where i have to drill. So at the moment the helmet looks like this or this And from the back you can see the 2cm gap also. Look here So you see that there is still a lot of work waiting for me.
StudioCreations Posted July 24, 2012 Author Posted July 24, 2012 Kalt, Wow, did the helmet really come with that warp in the plastic, I know you got one of the first 5 helmets pulled off the new molds, but I did not think we sent out anything with that odd of a shape? PAndatrooper shows and ingenious way to heat and twist plastic into the needed shape in his armor assembly thread ...http://forum.bikersc...?showtopic=9781 The drill holes are still being worked out as I type. San Diego Comic Con and CVI hit us hard and we have not had time to test and retest the drill hole placement to be put in the molds. Mid August looks to be a little more open in the schedule to add some workshop time and get those drill holes figured out. Right now everyone has to tape the visor and faceplate in place, then drill from there.
Kaltblutfreak Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Hi Jeff. I wondered but this was what i got. I know Pandas Thread and currently i am trying to get some of the heating irons he used. Maybe i will get it back in shape. For the holes i think i have hit some good spot. Still a lot of work to do with the helmet but i think it is worth every minute. I am short of time so its a slow but sure build. The gap between dome and back is filled with the silicone right know. Looks great.
Evil-Inc Posted July 25, 2012 Posted July 25, 2012 All mine worked out fine, no problems here with them.
StudioCreations Posted July 29, 2012 Author Posted July 29, 2012 There is a low area in the mold in the left-side 'cheek' area, and we are addressing that now. The low area does not hinder or detract from the final look of the helmet, as it goes inward, not outward, but I totally see how it's distressing. I am not happy about it either. You look at this stuff for months on end, get weary and you miss things. As for the gap, we are assembling 3 helmets this weekend and we noticed that if you do not sit the dome perfect into the side divots of the temple areas of the back plate, when you go the glue the center back of the dome to the back plate, you will get a slight gap on the side of the helmet that is not seated perfectly. We are tweaking our instructions to reflect the need of watching this area when gluing. I think that is what happened with Kaltb's helmet, the dome is probably 1 mm off center and not lined up perfectly into the back plate,and it's riding high in the temple area, causing the back plate to be pushed away from the dome on that one side. I would have to inspect the helmet more to confirm though.
Kaltblutfreak Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 If you need pictures of my helmet send me pm with the angles i have to photograph. I will send them to you then. No Problem. I am glad if i can help.
vikingtrooper Posted August 3, 2012 Posted August 3, 2012 got my sc today and see if i can make it hot or else i yell here for help
