ok i have to ask (dumb question alert ) what does it mean by 1mm? i've seen similar type descriptions, but have never understood. lol.

depending on how your setup is, it'd be big enough. i got the stanley one from home depot. it's almost big enough for two actually. lol.

so this might be a dumb question but what happened to the ears?

i've seen the cartoon that it's from. it's not a stormtrooper (obviously) lol. but i dont think its all too old. either way, i have to laugh at the "it has been used and played with but i have not seen another one on ebay so i have decided to take a leap and put it out here" haha. as if that detail makes it suddenly priceless. same time... if i spent that much for a lousy helmet that might have cost 30 bucks... shipping better darn well be free.

that weathering job is beyond fantastic terry. but with you, i'd expect no less than awesome

great tutorial terry built greatly, you have

i don't ship things too often, but one thing i always laugh about with USPS is that everything is called first class mail.... or you can pay extra for "faster shipping" lol. shouldn't the faster mail be first class and everything else just be w/e else they want to call it? like flying somewhere, there's your general seating (coach) and then for more comfort and the extra bucks there's first class... that makes since. USPS is just weird.

sadly this week i'll be busy and once my TD arrives, i'll be out of country for a week... but in two weeks i'll be applying can't wait

--------------- good eye. i never noticed that before. flat lenses (stunt) with 3 teeth (hero) all in one helmet. next time i watch, i'll have to look at their frowns a lil closer.

the brad and two exposed snaps for the crotch strap. small detail, but i think it'd go along with the exposed right side snap... and i dont think a decal would really be the same... but that's just me... on the question about if the boots should be scuffed, i dont think scuffed should be a requirement. and on the one about rivets on the lower leg. i want to say no. otherwise i have no real thoughts for or against the other things asked... looks pretty reasonable to me.

truer words have never been said. sometimes it might only be just a small minuet detail too. lol

-------------- at least he didn't go off of this one and leave out the holster

beautiful blaster. job well done

i personally havent had issues with scratching my lenses yet actually. lol. and the only way to secure it that i know of is to over lap it. i'll try and take a pic of where it's over lapped if you'd like so you'll know what i mean (if you dont) but mine generally stays in tact. the only reason why i was thinking about gluing it in place is because i'm afraid if i jostle it just right, it might slip free... that'd be terrible if im out and about when that happens. lol.

lol. it happens. i think the over lap is a lil wide. though it might be just fine, i dont think i can be of much help. best i can think of is making the over lap skinnier in the front, making up the difference in the back. i think the strips are only supposed to be 22mm (possibly wrong there though) but i'd wait until one of the experts chime in before making any definite decisions. sorry i can't be of much help

looks great. good work

well though you'll naturally get some who'll say cover strip and some that'll say their not too important. a good judged opinion on this matter might require a pic to know what we're working with i know putting mine together, it took a lil while to get them just right to look good. patience comes in handy. lol. but do post a pic or two of them, and that'll help

lol. gatta love being screen inaccurate

ok so i couldn't think of a good way to put my lenses in with structural security, so i decided to make a lens out of clear acrylic glass/plastic (not too sure ) anyone who's seen the lenses in the RTmod helmet will know where this idea came from. basically making the same thing that comes with it but clear with lens material taped to it. i got some of Karins great lens sheets and used one of them for this. their great. http://forum.whitear...=1 anyways, i forgot to take all the pics that'd normally go with this, but you get the idea. first draw out the shape and once you like it, just go to town with a dremel. then naturally cut the lens to fit after your done shaping the clear lens, drill holes (if needed) then pull off the protective coat shiny n purdy right? this is where i forgot to take a pic before i installed it, but simply put, just tape the two lenses together. i used the black thing that RTmod uses to cover/protect the edges btw... the silver things you partially see are my fans, i have a spare set of batteries taped to the inside of my helmet... just seemed like a good idea. anyways, back to the project. lol then naturally gatta make sure you can see through it well, so i figured a test drive would suffice.... naturally, i'm just kidding... i took this pic while driving with my OLD lenses. hahaha well i hope you liked my little project. unfortunately the holes i drilled were in the wrong place... i used the lens that came with the helmet as a template and seemingly enough the lens i used in all of this doesnt flex the same... but oh well. it stays snuggly in place luckily enough. i'll probably use some hot glue on the sides. **insert cool ending statement here**

i do try

i heard something about beuller... my best friends sisters boyfriend brothers girlfried heard from this guy who knows this kids whos going with this girl who said they saw Farris pass out at 31 flavors last night. i guess it's pretty serious. sorry, i can't help you on this topic. hopefully one of the guys will check the thread and help you... offer cookies, that's all i do. seems to work. people come running from all directions.... they dont help much, but the cookies go away.... either way though, it should help get some attention this direction. lol. best of luck to ya man

well i don't know how a web site has feelings of pride, it's just a bunch of stings of code. but the members on here... their not as much coded, more lifelike. haha. can't wait to see your build. if you take you time and ask all the questions you have, you should be able to do just fine. it's great to see that you want to go for EIB right out of the box. trust me... easier to do it that way. haha.

lol. funny, but almost as if they tried too hard to mock the other one. lol

cats are just snooty like that. it'll come back in a week or to... maybe hung over, but still. the dog might just be working on something cool, like practicing getting you a drink, so he's too distracted to get your dirty slippers hamsters... well... LOOK! something shiny and as far as the wife goes... i'm still in training. dont know females well enough to make an accurate judgment call. i'll hafta get back to you on that one. haha

you've got an awesome assistant. where to start can be a tough one. you almost just wish you can start on everything all at once. haha good luck to you, and yes especially take your time. the last thing you wanna do is rush and mess something up. lol
