Buddy248824[501st] Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Do I still put stickers on helmet. Like on regular Biker scout Link to comment
toddo[TX] Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Looking good! As for the decals, yes. We recommend that you use decals that contrast to the black that you are using. For instance, if your helmet is gloss, use satin or matte decals. If your helmet is satin, use gloss decals. Trooperbay should be able to supply what you need. Link to comment
Buddy248824[501st] Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Is there a preference on Armor being gloss or satin. Link to comment

Buddy248824[501st] Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 On the back where the dome and back piece are attached did you seal it up with black silicone. Link to comment
Chef[501st] Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 No, this is one of my own buckets, it's a split half type like the original, the seam line is right down the centre of the helmet, Link to comment
Buddy248824[501st] Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Got you. I was thinking of sealing it up. Think it would look better. Do you have any up close photos of your bucket you mind sharing. All sides be nice Link to comment

Buddy248824[501st] Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 About to tackle chest plate. I'm a big boy. Any thoughts about connecting them. I am board in shoulders and chest area. Thought Link to comment
Chef[501st] Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Get the chest sitting right, then stick some webbing between the chest and back plates. When they're hanging right, make up the cloth covers to go over the joins. For the joins under the arms I use the same material as you would for the drop box straps. Put velcro on the ends so they can attach to the chest plate. Run it through the back plate holes and have a tiny bit of elastic connecting them together on the inside of the back. This allows it to have a bit of flex. Link to comment
Buddy248824[501st] Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 So far so good on chest armor. Pic to follow. Does anyone have a pattern for the vest they mind to share. Thanks Link to comment
