I am very very new to all of this, I did just buy my first kit with a helmet. I am finding lots of deviations from the intended instructions in the kit. All I have left is legs forearms, hands, and final nelmet details. I say it is all I have left but I need to accomplish lots more trimming to fit me. I may have to be in the suit for a few hours, So I will need comfort. This has been 2 weeks of work.
I have used;
Hot glue gun
blue paint
Gray paint
Black Paint
ABS Glue,
Drill
Drill Bits.
Industrial Velcro strips (sticky back 15 feet)almost gone
(I am still new to this so I can only describe noobish perspective
REGRETS;
Not finding a way to temp install Velcro for fit
not taking my time with helmet to avoid sanding and reglue
not taking the time to watch movies for detail instead of blind instruction following..This put my straps in weird places, I should have fit it to me.
Watched the youtube videos of people armoring up to see how their builds work
As stated I am very new to tho, I just want to help you avoid some of the mistakes I have made.
