Pretty helmet!! She's looking really nice. I'm so excited to see you finish!! (I've heard window insulation foam works great in helmets, BTW  ;) )

Yes! Yes you are! :)
Deal! This is going to happen.

Thanks! And good! Looking forward to that! :D



Ah!  ;D

So a couple of issues I ran into... The inside where the visor sits against the inside of the helmet isn't super smooth which doesn't allow the visor to rest smoothly against the cheeks. So I have to take visor out and sand it a bit; it's not really a big deal since its glued in with hot glue. I was just so excited to see what it would all look like! :)

How awesome do you feel when you put your helmet on??!!

I had the same problem with my visor, so it must be a common thing.

I bought this helmet from dha bral. He's from Michigan, but he has a thread on the boards here too. Molon labe studios.

Thank you so very much!

Thank you! :)

Alright so I'm working on my gauntlets. The first set for me will be pretty basic and I hope to upgrade once I have more skillz/a place to do crazy stuff (I.e. Learn to fiberglass/bondo ). I've only done one because I wanted to opinions of everyone before I went ahead on the second one. I plan to use Velcro to keep them closed (if that's allowed) as well as adding some padding inside so they don't slip around. But here's what I got so far...

Top of gauntlet

Bottom of gauntlet

Look ma! No hands! *apologizes for bad pun*



So... Think this will be okay?

Thanks all!

I did use Velcro and then I got thinking... Since they will be so plain Jane initially, I wanted to add a little pizazz. So I got some spare pleather I had and cut it into strips to wrap around the gauntlets. They won't be tied once done (planning on adding snaps so they will always be the same), but this is more to show the look I'm going for. Eventually the gauntlets will be painted dark purple like my shoulders and knees so I think the white strips will add a little something.

Painted my gauntlets and padded them. Might need a little more padding added...



Slowly checking things off the list: back needs to be painted, range finder assembled/painted, waiting for my (new) vest to finished so I can attach my plates. I'm getting excited! :)

Here I am , late to the party.
Love the color choice. Looks great. You are just waaaaaaay too shiny and clean! :)
If you haven't already trimmed the shoulders, you might try mounting them in closer to the neck by an inch or so. this would position them a bit more horizontally, but the overall width would be right on. (but I am partial to double shoulder plates, so you can consider that idea or not :) )

The plates in the picture seem to be hanging low and resting on the belt. Not bad necessarily, but  If you haven't already mounted them, try raising the whole thing, chest and ab, up two inches or more. Then stand tall and straight, shoulders back, chest puffed out like a peacock, and see how it looks.

You feel like a Mando Marine now?   HOOAH!!

Thanks for the feedback mercy! Clean and shiny are what I'm going for! The less is more look for me lol

About moving the chest and such up... Not really possible because of some things lol but to fill the gap I'm planning on another "collar plate". I'm currently waiting on a new vest from Sidi Ren that will be made from a stiffer material to help hold the plates up... Hopefully lol but if not some trimming will be in store lol. As to the shoulders... Haven't trimmed them yet, planning on it though. I have thought about a double shoulder, but I'd have to acquire some sintra... Oh the possibilities :)

Haha I know I know! I've always really loved how jango's armor looked well used but maintained so I was going for something similar to that. Maybe one I'll go crazy and get a little dirty lol

But thank you! eventually I'd like to remake the chest pieces to go a little higher and then only need one collar plate but for now, it shall suffice :)
