First of all im new here so HELLO ALL! Ive been a lurker for quite a minute on the forums and have just decided to get a armor set and what not. The armor isnt an issue trimming it and everything is going swell however the helmet on another hand is a mess. Its a 3 piece helmet and cant seem to figure out how in the world the thing goes to gether flushly. I have included a pic of a similar kit i have from online. Any help is appreciated!!

Welcome to FISD, Zach.
 
I guess I am too new around here to recognize that helmet style to know who the maker is.  Looking into the source website, it is noted as an "FX/GT Helmet", but I cannot find any info here on FISD that even mentions FX/GT.

To answer your question, I think the best way to start is by using masking tape to put the back and cap together to create a single piece, which is much easier to assemble with the face.  Take measurements to find the centerline of the back piece and the centerline of the rear of the cap to make sure they align correctly.  Then find the centerline of the face and the brow of the cap to get those two aligned.  Use tape and clamps to get it together before drilling any holes.

 

You can always post pix here as you work on it to confirm your progress before you drill.

 

Good luck on your build!

The 501st doesn't approve FX helmets any longer, so you don't even need to bother with that helmet if membership is what you seek.
