Sorry for April 1 everyone. Just following orders. ... yeah.. totally just following orders.

I sprayed the helmet with the Upol Gloss Clear coat and let it dry for about 48 hours. I then used Meguiar's polish to buff the white areas with a sponge and then wiped off any remaining polish. While I was working on the helmet, I got after the gap gmrhodes13 pointed out on the pre-approval feedback forum. I ordered a replacement rectangular plate from 850 Armor Works. It only comes in black so I timed the work so I could paint the helmet and plate at the same time. I needed to take about an inch off the width. I started by cutting it in half and then trimming each half to the right size. I glued a strip along the back of one side and then glued the top pieces together. I then sanded and primed the plate. Once it was primed, I painted it with the Monaco White and then gave it the gloss coat as I painted the helmet. I'm hoping the size reduction will show less of a gap when the new plate is worn.

Belt definitely needs some stiffener, especially if you want to holster your weapon, nothing worse than see a scrunched-up belt on the side.

So I spontaniously got to a con and did some new pics with all your suggestions in mind! As far as I can tell there's nothing left to do! (Yes, I already said this one or two times before ) I don't really know why it looks blurry in some places, I can also get the high resolution pictures to everyone via mail. To everyone attending celebration: hope to see all of you soon!
