70th Explorers Garrison: Forums

Just got my new set of F/X armor in the mail and boy was I overwhelmed with the directions to it, would anyone here have any tips on how they put their armor /helmet together (I have searched whitearmor.net and havent come across anything really useful)

Praying, glue and an extra set of hands got mine together. But in all seriousness I test fitted EVERYTHING with GOOD painters masking tape (doesnt leave a residue behind) made sure it all fit correctly then started by fixing the helmet liner inside the dome then put the front and back to the dome reusing tape to hold it all together I then put on the ears. and from there I put everything else on I would put the eyes in before I did the front to the dome that Is where I screwed up and have had some problems with it so just an idea. I am sure others will have alot of input on what they did that Is what I did and I did mess it up in a couple spots with to much glue and slipping but wet sanding then polishing took care of those spots fairly easily. just be paitent test fit it with masking tape and remember PATIENCE obi-wan told luke that and I think we can all learn from that when doing it.

If you want to come up to the STL area BBQ / optional armor party, you can take a look a some armor in person, talk to a bunch of troopers, and get some advice. It's Sunday June 24th. PM me if you're interested.

Also, click on my banner for "some" advice. There's not much on my site about putting the helmet together, but I do have a photo gallery of most of the armor pieces. You can see close up what I did.
