Lol JudgementDay I don't think your pictures were bad. Just thought I'd add a couple cents in case the swivel was still a problem. Foam is different though. When my pep helmet swivels it hurts my face. 
Excuse me sir, but you met Nathan Fillion... You can't be jealous of anyone.

What did with your bucket is pretty much what I was planning.... Except with multi coloured dollar store dish sponges. Lol.
PerniciousDuke ... Where did you get those fancy padding??? I think I would like those better than said multi colour dollar store sponges.

Nevermind PerniciousDuke. Found it on Amazon. Motorcycle/Airsoft helmet padding. I will have to invest in this. Join the cool kids group.

Nothing wrong with the mere peasant foam group though? We are only mortal :/

As a resourceful Canadian, chop up the padding from an old hockey helmet and glue that in place with maple syrup. That's a Turbo Tip.

I've got plenty of Maple Syrup... but short on the Hockey helmets...

Clear! *Electric Thump* No response....up the voltage...CLEAR! *Thump* Any pulse!? We got a pulse!? Fantastic!, Welcome back JudgementDay. This thread has now been revived!
Right so this my second apology in this thread I hope it will be the last. I wont bore you with the details of my heroic adventures, the fight against the darkness, or my addiction to Destiny 2 and procrastination.....
But I am here to finish this thing off.
Before I continue on this road with improvements and additions I need to fix up the wear and tear from the last convention. Posted below are the bits that sustained the most damage and are in need of repair.
For the parts with just paint damage I was thinking of incorporating those parts into the weathering as realistic weathering, as those parts were the places where it took the most wear. Any ideas on how I can make this more permanent as opposed to painting it every time? I tried a spray on matte varnish, which doesnt seem to have done a lot as a final protective coat.
As for the chest piece edges, I've got a few wonderful ideas rattling around in my head about what I want to do for it, but as always I am interesting in the communities responses and opinions.
I hope everyone is having a fantastic day and a glorious year!
Its good to be back!

So its Thurday night, weekend is soon, of which I am always grateful. Armageddon Expo is this weekend.....so its getting down to the wire in terms of time. There is nothing quite like last minute pressure to click that motivation and inspiration into gear and get all the work done.
Nothing major in terms of new items of my armour, just improvements of the current peices
Lighting is bad I apologize, but the thigh pouch I attached a more permanent solution. Ive reached the point with my armour where Im not so protective of it, so im willing to try some new things with it.
I sliced two holes a few mm wide and just long enough to fit the Molle webbing straps through the thigh piece, now it wont fall off as I walk around.
So the split on my chest piece I solved by wrapping some straps around the split, disguising the split itself, adding some structural strength and giving it an additional aesthetic that I quite like.
Similar with the thigh pouch, I cut the same size holes in the bottom of the torso piece to hold my mag pouches onto the chest firmly and will not be falling off anytime soon.
Last few things to tick off
- Paint the parts that have worn the paint off
- Add vents into the helmet where my mouth is to remove fogging of visor
- Figure out how to permanently attach my grenades to the belt
Looking forward to getting some pictures of the finished look and some pictures from the convention.
Will update you guys soon thanks for sticking with me
