  2. To Caulk or Not to Caulk?

    in ESB Stormtrooper

    Posted

    I am basically done with my build other than tweaking the straps and such for that just so perfect fit, and was wondering if anyone has ever caulked all of the finishing strips or any other areas before? I did caulk some on my helmet, around the ears and such. Will it hold up and, are the strips supposed to be clean on the edges or is caulk acceptable?

    the shoulder straps do look like they sit a bit too far down onto the chest

    That was my first stumbling block in my build. I was using the pictures in the armor build tutorial and actually counted the number of notches that were present on the chest plate and then SECURELY glued them down so I don't think they are getting moved. It didn't give me much wiggle room when it came to attaching the straps to the back plate. I have however, noticed that some seem down farther than others depending on the picture you look at, like the one of Luke...

    They don't look too bad.------------

    Thank for that picture, I can't get into the FISD tutorial forum for the picture I used, but mine have the same number of slats or notches as in this picture.

     

    Thanks for the other tips on the build everyone!

    Time to get trooping!

  11. Mic tip question...

    in Assembly, Mods, and Painting

    When putting the mic tips into the hollow areas of the helmet, how far above the ridge of that indentation should the top (mesh) part of the mic tip sit? Are they recessed and sit down inside? Or does the tip rise above the ridge slightly? Or a lot? I tried looking at other posts and can't really tell, and the main site is down.

    Also, when tightening the nut for the screw post on the mic tip, I squished the bubbly part on the other side of the indent inside of the helmet slightly? Ok or bad?

  24. Novus polish question.

    Looking at the forums it seems that most lean toward Novus. Can that be bought commercially at my local whatever or does it usually have to be ordered off the net? My build is about done and I don't have any polish other than car wax, and would rather not wait a week for some to come in the mail. I know, impatient of me.
