Re: Helmet repairs

Sorry about your Don Post helmet! I hope the gorilla glue works well, and I agree that E6000 holds together really well. Eric and I used E6000 on my helmet, and it worked well. That being said, I just want to give an update on my helmet repairs. The repairs went well. We followed Aaron's instruction...

Thank you all for your advice and help! I've emailed Aaron from the Plastic Empire regarding the paint and any repair tips he might have for me.

Re: Helmet repairs

Here are some pictures of my helmet cracks: 2 of the main cracks seen on the outside of my helmet, 1 of the chipping inside my helmet. Unfortunately, I can't repair the cracks with scrap plastic because I purchased my helmet complete; I don't have any HIPS scraps to use! http://i17.photobucket.com/a...

Color Matching

Here's a picture of my helmet, a boot, and my outer robe fabric. Does the fabric look like an OK match for the helmet and boot?

Re: Outer Robe

Thanks. I actually modeled my pattern on a cloak pattern as well. It's the drape that's giving me problems because the only way I know how to get a good drape is by cutting the pattern on the bias (diagonal) of the fabric. Do you kow of any other ways to get a good drape? Simple pleats don't seem to...

Outer Robe

My first dye job was a success! :trsuit: I'll post a picture as soon as I have one. Does the outer robe need to be made in 4 pieces (a front, a back, and 2 side pannels)? I'm asking because in order to get the proper drape effect, I need to cut the front and back pannels on the bias. In order to get...

Re: Color of Robe Lining and Neck Seal

Thank you for the advice. I will certainly take it under consideration.
I'm still curious, though, as to what it's supposed to look like. The CRL does mention a neck seal, but it doesn't describe it.
What is the neck seal supposed to look like?
