Man you are going to kill it once you get your first ABS TK kit bud.
I did the same thing your doing with my Kylo Ren black series helmet. Keep up the good work.

ok sorry for lack of updates, been kinda procrastinating.
I took the lenses out, then trimmed and sanded the leftover stuff under it.
I need some opinions. i think the eye ridges around the lenses a could be more pronounced, so i was thinking of making the edge more pronounced with some epoxy clay. what do your guys think? should I do it?
Use a piece of sandpaper smooth down the eye openings. And are you doing bubble lenses or regular? You could also get a small thing of model grey paint and paint the frown. And some blue for the tube stripes. Good to hear your back on it.

Put the pouches on my belt just to see how they felt and looked and they look pretty good so far. Still going to do a reinforcement strap on it also.

So I just received my skull trooper helmet and thought I would give a quick review for anyone who may be thinking of getting one.
Let me start by saying WOW just great overall quality. Its nice and thick seems very sturdy. I feel like if it gets dropped it would take very minimal damage. The lens are basically hot glued in but nicely done. They are shaped and smooth no sharp corners. Also comes with a custom skull padding insert. Hovi tips look nice and are also fixed with the screw nut style so you can switch out easily if you had other plans. Paint job looks nice on it also. Only bad thing about it for me was that maybe 2 weeks after I purchased mine he ran a deal
could have saved some money there. The length it took to receive was normal not super fast but not terribly long to where I had to inquire about it either. Overall I can say it was definitely worth the money. And he also offers different types for different kits. I found him on Instagram under the name skull_trooper_helmets . He showed great communication during the whole process even sending me update pictures as well. I would highly recommend to anyone looking into one. Heres some pics.

If you run into troubles with the elastic peeling away I suggest using nylon webbing and rivet them on.
That was going to be my second option if this just doesn't do well. I already feel little iffy about the stability of it. But am just going to roll with it until it fails I guess.

Added straps to the back of pouches. I plan on adding a reinforcement strap also.
