The new AM helmet is not what the old AM helmet was. So keep that in mind. The old AM helmet is still crap. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Over a year old and not a single reply. Crazy. Love your work John!

Wrap them in painters tape. It helps protecting them from shattering. Plus, you can make pull tabs out of some extra tape.

Yeah, E-6000 is much safer. It has a long cure time, but don't worry about that. It's better not to stress before you are absolutely sure what you are doing and are an experienced builder. Neodymium magnets are a great aid when gluing those long cover strips as you can put more consistent pressure across the whole length of the strip by spacing out several of them. They come in different strengths (and are cheap on ebay). Get at least N38 (max is N45). But be careful as they can easily jump across a table and pinch you pretty bad.

If you use E-6000 you can quite easily (with effort but without destruction) take things apart if you feel you need to redo them. For example if your biceps turn out to be too large in circumference. Marking out cuts with a pencil first helps while you are thinking things through. And don't worry too much, almost anything can be saved. And make a build thread to document, ask questions and it also helps the rest of us here give you pointers at each step, but also warn you if you are about to make a mistake.

Ah! Hi there! Good to have you over here. For cutting the strips, I would recommend a sturdy box cutter and a steel ruler. It needs to be metal or you will be cutting into the ruler, and nobody wants that. You will probably have the best results using the score and snap technique. IE make one or two shallow cuts, and snap the plastic along the score line and it will break where you cut it. Like how you cut glass panes.

The back of the shins "should" be 25 mm to better hide the opening. But all these measurements are relative. The original suits were a little all over the place and if you need larger you can go larger. But at least try to keep the proportions.

I think you should install it. It's always better to build like the actual suit than to follow a set of rules that changes and sometimes are plain wrong. I think in the case of the strap not showing too much in ESB could be as simple as taller stuntmen wearing the suits. Let me worry about the incorrect CRL.

uh?

Nu-uh!

Well, since Adam explicitly mentions that he wants to go Centurion, I think it's safe to discuss what he needs to consider before applying for that.

You can also see some black strapping wrapping around the left bicep of this guy:

You can actually see the shoulder bell strap if you look closely in this picture. You can see it because it has some white glue residue on it close to where it's attached to the bell (left side trooper):
