looks superb to me, nice one

thanks paul, very helpfull

paul, are the clips jubilee type ones?

mark i used grey spray primer on my td canister. hopefuly thats ok

i regular dream star wars, the other night i was at work with my helmet on doing some welding!! yes i too am obsessed and allways have been

thanks chef, dont think i would dare mess with the eyes again, i had a nitemare getting the glue to go right. in regards to the straps it is 1" elastic, it is attached inside the helmet on with bolts and washers on the ear bolts, i just measured it and added snaps. to strenghten the elastic where it attached inside i used and eyelet tool which punches a hole and adds a little bras eyelet.

ive added some little descriptions now

Ive been working away on my helmet every now and then and this is where i am now, i dismantled the helmet, took the damaged lenses out, fitted new mesh and painted what had not been finished. Also decided to paint the inside black with spray. let me know what you think. i had to replace the hovis as the ones on it were very badly made, i also had to paint the ear pieces and screws etc as these were not done. the frown i painted myself as the stickers were bad,also used my own balck mesh which are actually speaker covers cut up!! on the inside for the padding scruffs knee pads cut up, i thought they looked good. i painted the inside with a grey primer first, then black satin on top. the lenses were custom made, i got some 3mm smoked acrylic and cut them to a shape with my ntrusty dremel, i then boiled them in water and formed them into shape, finally hot glued the in.

yeh i know, i was calling it td for short for thermal detonator.

no probs fbj, what were the clips called so i can pick some up? also the td cannister i have has been cut a bit wonky so it doesnt line up at all, i will have to overlap the edges to get them to fit.

thanks guys, fbj where did you get the clips from? hoping to get the td can done by the time my fbj belt arrives.

Im about to build mine, could i ask please what colour grey is used, and if it is gloss grey?

I have now got myself an undersuit, i bought a black one piece typhoon one thats for wearing under drysuits, its great, has a zip down the front, has elastic for under your feet and elastic for over the thumbs, and all for £20

nice one chef, keep up the good work big man

very, very cool. Can i ask please what is the holster? did you make it yourself

i would also like a pm to see if i can get one.

they are no good, the guy i boughht the helm from is sending me replacements soon.

anything thats suitable to use as the lenses, who has the dark green ones? something i can lay inside and bend to shape without too much hassle, i had some but the glue was showing too much

yes i have a 12pack instead of the six pack that i had 10 years ago!! i will proberly need a gap filler, mark ive seen something on ebay that may be of use. i intend to mod and cut a ladies elastic corset.

reminds me of that scene with the horse at the start of tom greens freddy got fingered!!

im struggling with getting some lenses, cant find anything suitable.

thats the correct manufacturer, my local builders merchants has loads in stock. There must be something simular available in the states.

ok i will....i won it for £6.

thanks for the comments, unfortunatly i have no idea what bucket it is.

they really do the job tm. they are the scruffs brand. got them at my local builders merchants for about £8 a pair.
