you could make like a pvc manequin like a stick figure and use like a sheet and velcro.

thnx silvercookie ill look into that


and one more question for anyone who wants to help,,, i used the cvs brnd glue to glue it togather,,, im only half done with the helmet,,, but in places i couldnt hold long enough for it to dry or places were it slides i used sum scotch tape over the tab to keep it in place whil the glue dries, now i prolly wont be able to get the tape off, so wen i resin it and the resin eats the tape will the "eating of the tape" affect the glue holding the thing together???

illl post sum pics tomorrow,,, errrrr later today, lol

Gluewise, You want welders glue from walmart, and bondini, from walmart. If you need pics of the glues let me know.

Now, a 7 foot tall mannequin is almost impossible to find....I should know, I had to order one... : /

You have to either get it proffessionally custom made, or make it yourself....making it yourself is cheaper, and depending on your skills. The results can be good or bad.

well here are sum prog pics

helm so far





and this is wat i mean for the tape and the glue,

will the glue hold up when the tape is being eaten or will it ruin the glue also???

and thanks for the advise darkesword2020 and yes a pic might help, thnx

How do you hold the pieces on exactly and how do you put in the visor? Plus, i have no idea to use fiber glass and resin. Some help please?

 

[ragtagsoldier]

ight to hold them on exaclty u either use a hot glue gun or superglue or welders glue and if u want a real viser u just do the same and glue it in there is a fiberglassing tut floating around here sumwere,,, check the sticky's
