Ok, so the repair has been made: With rubber s trim attached and glued into place: But, I realized the clamps made this dent in the plastic- you can see it better at this angle: Again, luckily, this is underneath and towards the neck, so you can’t see it. But still, the helmet is like my Precious. Oh well, what can you do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You said I didn’t because we had another bet which I won. I didn’t remember what it was for, but you brought it to my attention and said we were even. You don’t remember? It’s probably on page 47 on Lorelei’s thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What’s her count up to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. After consulting Frank, Wook, Sly, and a buddy from my garrison, I decided to not use the paste. One, I’m glad that I don’t have to as it saves me the extra step and time. And two, my luck, I’d make a paste the wrong way and melt holes into the helmet and cause even more damage. So, I will post pics once it has another few hours to dry.

The horror of what happened yesterday still sends chills up my spine.....I was filming a quick video for my YouTube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN2jWuTVPm-oOeretX2YLWw ).As I was taking my helmet off, I dropped it on the floor. Upon picking it up, I found a 1-inch crack below the chin by the neck line: My reaction: I swooped into action to apply plastic behind the tear to keep it from tearing any further: Luckily the S-trim will cover some of the crack, and it’s below the chin so won’t be noticeable. I just didn’t realize how thin the plastic is on this part of the helmet. Ugh... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey all, After much discussion with a couple buddies on here, Frank and Wook, I have decided to start a small YouTube channel called, “The Stacking Stormtrooper”. The channel’s focus is on precious metals, prepping for emergency situations, and Star Wars. I have found the precious metal and prepping communities to be rather serious, sometimes dull. I figure with my quirky sense of humor, and preference to stay anonymous, delivering the content while wearing a Stormtrooper helmet does a good job. It’s already being well-received in just a matter of days. With that, if you’d like to check it out and support my channel, please follow the link below. I’d love for you to SUBSCRIBE! Also, please like, share, comment, etc. I only ask that you PLEASE keep any personal information you know about me (name, where I’m from, what I do for a living, etc.) PRIVATE. Thanks so much everyone!

I have a similar setup as Glen (mentioned above), but I just use my iPhone in my chest and it works well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Glen- at first glance, the officer in the first pic looked like you. I had to zoom in. The guy is your stunt-double. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That’s good you have a solid crew close by. Nice job, buddy. Let’s see those pre-approval pics tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have bad news for you, Lorelei.....20 pages is amateur hour. My build thread......37 pages: You better start posting more!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol. “Thanks Bud for screwing up!” Haha, glad it helped you, man. Just don’t make the Thermal Detonator mistakes I made. (Did you do the TD yet?) The TD, which should be a fairly easy thing, was a MAJOR pain in the butt for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lorelei, done yet??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I remember this happening- wanting to get more done but all magnets and clamps were being utilized. So I pulled some clamps and magnets off pieces that were setting, spread out the clamps and magnets that remained, and then took the pieces I removed and applied them to the pieces I wanted to work on. Keep up the good work! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
