Shadow Scout Trooper Helmet Questions

[Sirlancelot]

I've put together a preliminary setup of the helmet and was wondering if this is aligned and is acceptable.

Your right side you might want to tighten up. You want the hood, face plate, and dome to all light up correctly with no gaps. You will also want to take some off the hood between the hood and the dome so that the face plate can properly and functionally move up and down to open the front of the helmet. If constructed properly, you shouldnt need to use anything to keep the faceplate closed. Who made the helmet please?

@Gree23Studio creations made the helmet. It was manufactured in a way that didnt allow it to line up. Not entirely sure what I should. When I try to reposition it, the plastic gets warped.

SC has a top notch helmet. not sure why it isnt lining up. you will need to trim more off the top area between the face plate, hood area to pull the closer to the dome

Here is the helmet without the hood. Is that gap normal? @Gree23 this is my first time making a costume.

That will allow you to pull the face in more if needed to line up the sides. The biggest issue i see is the gap in the hood/visor and the sides

Can you make a drawing on top of my image and send me a photo so I can better understand the issue between the hood/faceplate?

Yes sir let me see if I can get that for you. I know it would help alot.

Ok on the first picture, you want that red line to be as lined up with the green line as possible. closing that gap will make you look better. Trimming the area in the second photo will help you pull some of that in, and give you a better clearance when opening the face. just trim a little at a time as you can always trim more later, but putting it back is a royal pain. just take your time, you got this

Thank you very much. I'm excited to have this complete.
