Assembly

[Gumbytron]

ok, so i want to make a helmet, havent decided on which one yet.

 

my question is, should i buy an assembly kit one first? to test my skills and to see how well i go?

if so, where is the best place to buy one?

 

thanks,

Have a look at the different makers in the getting started section, putting a helmet is not that hard and can be quite rewarding as a first build

The helmet is not as hard as you might think. It was actually easier than many parts of my armor, like the thighs... The hardest part is curving the ears as best you can to countour against the cheeks with minimal gap. If you're patient and do a little at a time, it's totally do-able, even by eyeballing it. Scootch has the less expensive "practice" kits right now if you'd like to try it with less up-front cash, though the final product is just as good as any; but any maker with an assemble-it-yourself kit will be good practice. You might buy a helmet kit while waiting for your armor to arrive, and if you totally blow it (you won't!) you can build the armor while you wait for your replacement lid.

 

Makers are listed in the Getting Started : Where to Buy thread, and Scootch is I think in the For Sale area. I'm not trying to push Scootch unfairly, just happens to be a good deal if you're timid.

Hey everybody, Just got in my Armor master kit and having a little trouble figuring out how to fit the helmet? didnt come with any instructions and dont really see how it goes together? I am a neewbie at this and my first build so any info on the helmet or where to get the instructions would be awesome! Its a three pcs. helmet and have configured it every which way and still cant seem to figure out how it is to fit together?

 

Thanks

Jack
