Re: whats on your workbench?
I cut the helmet in half then added a 1 inch space that I filled with Apoxie Sculpt. Im still smoothing it all out and adjusting the lines and contours of the helmet. Apoxie Sculpt hardens like rock so its a real pain to sand and shape, but it means the new area is almost indestructable.TK 3181 wrote:Bigger? are you reshaping it or ar you re-MAKING it?

Im pretty sure it would make a helmet that would fit you. The additional 1 inch makes a HUGE difference in the amount of space inside the helmet.

I haven't thought about it, since I don't have the supplies to make molds.TK 3181 wrote:so, had you considered makng a mold when you have it all smoothed out?

Go to smooth-on.com. They have everything you need to get the job done. You can get the complete kit and it wouldn't be too difficult.cblackthorne wrote:I haven't thought about it, since I don't have the supplies to make molds.TK 3181 wrote:so, had you considered makng a mold when you have it all smoothed out?

Re: whats on your workbench?
I am currently making all new bandoliers for my two little jawas to replace the crappy ones that I initially threw together. They are turning out fantastically! Also, I have Mr. Freezes goggles nearly done and have started on the cold gun . . . going sooo slowly....

Re: whats on your workbench?
no, none. i conversed with Richie from Richies Armor and discovered that he was impossibly slow to communicate with, so I scrapped that idea. I am currently planning on trying to pull my own. It will be a little trial and error, but educational, I am sure. Any advice is welcome. =)judge_hellfast wrote:Have you been able to source a dome yet?

Re: whats on your workbench?
Well after the convention........and not being able to sit down at Braums for Lunch I need to shorten the thigh's a bit
And after comparing Robert and Faron's Buckets to mine............we found that mine is smaller than the average FX! The eye holes are even smaller..................no wonder I struggle to get it on and off
So there are upgrades happening always..............actually had to make emergency repairs Fri night, so that I could troop Sat and Sun!!!
