Spectre Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hey everyone. I am up to the point where I need to add a hard hat strap webbing thing into my helmet, and I was hoping I could get some pointers? I could just super glue it in, but if I put it in the wrong spot the first time...then I am boned. The problem is I cannot fot my hand in there to mark where I need to attach it. :/ Any tips/advice/pointers would be appreciated. Spectre. P.S. this is what I am going to use. I could just superglue these tabs in, but I don't know where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) Does this help at all: HOWTO: Make clips for a hardhat liner Or just use the star shaped foam they used on screen. It's pretty comfy. You can buy it pretty cheap from Trooperbay. Aloha, -Eric Edited November 13, 2011 by Darth Aloha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Thanks Eric. I'd rather avoid that much hassle though. I'll try some other things and see how I go though, I may have to resort to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserbrain[TK] Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 You can attach it to helmet temporarily and reposition with tape and/or magnets until you get the position right, then mark and glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper[TK] Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Superglue is not going to hold. maybe try Velcro? Personally, I would just use foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xaoslord Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 The way you have to corkscrew one of these buckets on, how well does a helmet liner work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 It is kind of impractical. Foam (like Terry said) is much more comfy and works well with the screw on style of the lid. Hardhat liners work well in FX helmets because of their hugeness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrooperVenger Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I use foam in mine. I did have a hardhat liner, but it began to annoy me. Foam is comfy, just make sure you're not irritated by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksideemt Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I paid $10 for a T-ball helmet at Target and cut out the foam and that is what I'm using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks for the help guys. Yeah the liner is pretty hard to attach and would be very impractical. I bought a bunch of foam today, and am gonna start sculpting it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin-X[TK] Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I used knee pad inserts in mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you like the foam approach? Foam is definitely the way to go. I used two pieces together to get a good fit, although I would personally prefer to buy one of Trooperbay's foam stars. You can check my setup out in my build thread here: -------- There are a lot of options, some look a lot better than others...better than mine anyway.
