Thanks for all the info guys, it's most helpful.

and thanks for the lense link Todd! Those look perfect!

Peter, how did you go about keeping the taper of the forarm from elbow to wrist after cutting off from the wrist?

I used a Sealing Iron to mold it back..... Basically creating my own returm edge. There is a good Link on FISD on how to do it...Let me dig!

OK I thought I might end up needing one. Thanks so much!

This is the lens I use: http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/1/69/11378/ITEM/AFX-Fast-Shield.aspx

 

Did you get the silver mirror or the smoke mirror? Also, what size fit best in the helmet small or large? Thanks!

Silver mirror and large. You can cut to size, but you can't stretch.

I finished!!! I FINALLY finished! Took almost 2 years! I'm so happy I could cry! Had so much help from friends and am SO grateful! My first armor outing was at Celebration and now I just need to take my pictures and submit to the 501st! Oh happy day!
