Thrawndike bar Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 This is my mod of The Black series helmet. I started by pulling it apart. Then I removed all the excess plastic and electronics from the back. And here is all the stuff I removed from the front. I then glued the rank bars that were being used as an on/off switch for the voice changer back on. I also added screen mesh to the frown. I can't Bondo the battery pack seam and speaker grill. It's too cold to do it outside. Does anyone know of another option? Would wood filler work? I am also on the fence about cutting out the tube stripes. I know it would make it look better, but I don't want to accidentally mess up my helmet. I'll continue to post on my progress. Thank you!

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 There's a few other black series build threads but unfortunately a lot of the photos are now missing. I would just fill the tube stripes in with bondo rather than cutting out. Bondo does have a harder when added and it does give off some heat. I find when it's really cold to use a large box, have a heater facing in to it and get it nice and warm then put what you want drying inside and cover with a towel/sheet. I've not used wood filler myself so can't help you there. Looking forward to the ongoing progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrawndike bar Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thank you! I'll try that. I have to wait for the snow to melt first though Winter is very inconvenient. Fill in the tube stripes? The stripes in Rogue one were cut out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrawndike bar Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Yeah, I'm just trying to make it a little more screen accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrawndike bar Posted January 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I just realized the the title "Black series helmet conversion" does make it sound like I am converting to ANH. How can I change it to ''Black Series Helmet Mod"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
