When you say pep the chest piece do you mean by making it with paper? Thank you for your help!

Thank you for this - this sounds like a good idea. Is there a particular kind to look for that would do the trick? I am searching sheet metal online. I think I did something like this one time but what I got was too thick once it arrived.

This is my 2nd attempt at this Half Life HEV Chest Piece. I have made two of these and am stuck at this exact spot...I have learned a painful lesson each time. :cry: Where my finger is pointing on the first picture required me to use a lot of force to hold together while the glue hardened...

Yes I realized I could push things together on my first builds. Looking back at my earliar builds I was surprised how well forcing them together. I took a gentler approach this current way through but I won't forget that ideas. When I first read your blog a year ago I purchased a heat gun but...

Thank you very much. I hope it retains after the seam filling and paint. It's gettin messy.
