http://s1045.photobucket.com/albums/b452/sgtscully/shadow%204/ New pictures of the bucket screwed and glued. Still some trimming needs to be done and then a quick removal of the glue from the tape.

I was trying to avoid painting but I don't like the gaps. I have worked with bond before a so that doesn't scare me. I was just seeing if there is an easy way, I guess not. The TK buckets were very forgiving. I will glue the dome and the back together as close to possible. Thanks for the input and I will post other pictures of my progress.

http://s1045.photobucket.com/albums/b452/sgtscully/shadow%203/ more photo s of the eyes trimmed more. the other 2 photos show the dome and the back line up on the right looking at the bucket. the photo showing the left side has a half inch gap. Should I heat up the left side and push it more towards the dome. Any suggestions would be great.

Chef, Your pictures answered a ton of questions, with the line up. I will trim more around the eyes and the corners of the visor. My back part of the helmet doesn't really line up with the groves on the dome. One side fits perfect and the other side seems to miss the grove by half inch, like it is too short. I will try to take a picture to post , so you can see what I am talking about. If you look at my first pictures,in the recruit section, the face place and visor seemed warped.I did a lot of sanding and I am happy with the fit for now. But I have to see how it meets up with rest of parts. But that is why I asked. thanks

http://s1045.photobucket.com/albums/b452/sgtscully/shadow%202/ I have posted some pictures in the recruit section of my first attempt to assemble this dry, It didn't look right ,so I took Izzi s advice. I sanded the face plate to make it smooth. I trimmed the eyes out and i clamped it together . It looks better then the first pictures , I posted in the recruit section. Before I glue this with e6000, any suggestions would be great. I have assemble 3 TK buckets and you can hide things under the ear caps. Thanks
