Answered that this is dented and it doesnt look like an unmodified rubies helmet.

I'm aware. Every single one of them I've called or tried to order from is sold out. I'll just keep trying, I suppose.

Gloves came in today. Ordered them from the costume shop in Germany. Knew they'd be dark but I hope they aren't too far off.

They aren't silk opera gloves so your good in my book.

Ended up buying a helmet made from ABS from someone here on the forums, and someone from my local garrison with experience helped me work on it. I'll quote the post he made to the garrison forum.

[Me] came over yesterday and we got straight to work on her helmet. Very little waste needed to be trimmed away. Top quality ABS with a sharp pull, and the parts fit well. Only the bottom of the helmet wants to seperate, and that is no issue at all since I will be backing up the split line and using ABS Sludge made from the helmet waste plastic to backfill the gap, as well as the splitline.

I spent a total of maybe two hours trimming and fitting the helmet and cleaning out the eye socket. Not bad at all.

here it is on my tall helmet stand that I keep the navy trooper helmet on.

I have three clecos holding it together. The maker supplied a bunch of strips to be used internally to reinforce it, ill be using some of those strips to make more ABS sludge to fill the gap.

Starting on the pike soon. Saw a brilliant idea on old google search results. Think I can save myself a lot of time and hassle by making one out of this?

Picture of someone holding it for size comparison: http://f6ye3q.bay.livefilestore.com/y1p ... jpg?psid=1

Comes in a 48" long version, and the top part is already almost perfect so I don't need to do too much to it, mostly just the rasp/grips and paint.

Going (hopefully) to finish the work on the helmet this Sunday then all I have to do is paint it. I have a few automotive places that paint helmets around here I'm looking into and someone from the local garrison who might be willing to help me out with that as well who does automotive painting. Going with a red mirrored visor insert from Shoc Visor, and attach it with magnets.

Ended up ordering the force pike kit from Cabbagefarmer here on the forums, so can't wait for that to come in. I plan on using black engine enamel (designed to go on aluminum, so it shouldn't be too difficult) to make the parts black that need to be black.

Should be starting robes soon, my seamstress is almost done with the person who was in line before me. So I'll keep you guys posted.
