Haha yes it feels good



DUDE GUESS What!!

My helmet pads came in today

 

[Macattack64]

i want to see lots of pictures pronto!!! and let me know if they are any good and worth it?

 

[scandomfo]

Lol here's the pics,

I don't wanna install it just yet though,

I still plan on repainting my helm and then spray the inside with plastic dip



Now onto the list it includes:

1 instruction booklet

6 Pads - 1 Center, 2 med size, 4 small ones

4 point strap system - Made for kevlar/metal helmets

screws for helmets - kevlar, etc

18 velcro stickers



I tested the strength of how well the velcro attactches to the back part of the pad.

It takes quite a bit to take it off. So I doubt the pads will fall outta the helmet.



I will install it once I get my helm up to par

But for now I got pics

 

[Macattack64]

Would you highly suggest these pads? Oh and how much cushion is there. I mean how far do they push in. I may just use foam from a craft store.

 

[scandomfo]

@Mac



I can't say anything for sure just yet.

The cushion will push in just a lil over 1/4"

Once I install the whole thing (hopefully by the end of this week)

I will give you a full review on it

Seeing it as a helmet, I would recomend it rather than just cut up foam

I'll try to paint my helm tomorrow or at least primer it.



Update? Too lazy to type looky pics there

You guys can make your own caption

 

[Macattack64]

Nice forearm lolz

 

[scandomfo]

It could be better but that's the second time I've worn em.

I had to cut away from the ring so my hand can get through.

So far so good, I just need to try it on with my gloves so I have enough space to where It won't slide up and down my wrist

 

[Macattack64]

Gloves help a lot to keep them on plus slight padding.

 

[scandomfo]

Yep, I also plan on wearing knee and elbow pads to keep the biceps and thighs up.

Though I will probably leave my shins from the work of gravity and my thick upper boot.

Okay, but you asked for it...

(Bear in mind, it's still early and I haven't had my coffee yet. )

Space diaper ready for liftoff.

Damn UNSC-issued watches...anyone know what time it is?

Got tickets to the gun show?

I squashed that bug shortly after taking this shot.

@Oreo



LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

That just made my day

Especially the watch one



Update?

I plan on getting more primer and paint

Then I'll have my helm repainted and use plastic dip in the inside. Install my lights and pads

I definitely need some gloves, I've been working with resin without em and now I can't glass anything lol.

I never thought anyone would make their own captions

 

[Macattack64]

I'm out of gloves this last box I flew through. Probably because of all the plastic.



I got a question. Should I paint my forearms already or wait? They are pretty much ready to go. :\

 

[scandomfo]

@Mac



Whatever floats your boat

I'm not your painter person lol

Though if the weather is right for you, then go for it

I'll have to figure it out. I need to get gloves so I can get the biceps done, then all I'll have left on my agenda is minimal work on the front torso piece and a lot on the back torso piece. Then I'll have to figure out what I'm doing.

 

[scandomfo]

@Mac



Lol crap,

I need to get my back torso detailed too.

I wonder if I can just bondo up some cardboard lmao.

I still need to repaint my ab plate too.

Oh well, I'll see what I can get done.

 

[xavierjer]

Mac and Soul thanks to both of you for the help. The helmet looks sexy with that padding. I need to get started pepping my other leg.

 

[Macattack64]

Woo we helped somebody. hi5



I just put on some of my stuff. The main thing so you can keep your mobility up is to make sure to keep your biceps in the right spot. If they don't, they become a real pain.

 

[scandomfo]

Lol yeah I know what you mean,

The main thing I don't want to happen is to have something scrape against anywhere all day.

Haha I managed to glass a piece without using gloves.

Man I am so pro

Oh an thanks for the comment xavierjer

 

[Iren00]

[agbates]
