I've been enjoying the $#it out of Sith Edition myself, me and my 9 year old really love playing it, but for some reason I still dont have the heart to go kill vader, I always save the rebels, :wacko I guess it's just taking on the emperor himself that makes it fun.

I sanded down the gist of the bucket today. I'm going to slap on some more bondo to fill in holes and gaps then do more sanding...

But for the actual visor, should I buy on online or do a welders mask?

go here:
www.t-visor.com
It has some good premade visors and u can get a custom size if you need one

Hmm, I've heard a lot of people have been having problems with the T-Visor visors snapping when they try to install.

Therefore the current advice is to buy a cheap welder's mask and cut it out for yourself.

EDIT
if your armor is made of magnetic metal you can attach it with Magnetics

Okay, I finally got off my shebs:

It was sanded smooth but I filled in a few areas that still need work. After that I think I'll go to the putty after more sanding, and more sanding, and more sanding.....

Anyways, so leg armor: I think I'm ganna use gorilla glue to stick the elastic to the pieces. I heard that glue is strong and flexible and sticks to just about everything.

gotta do homework...cya!

P.S. When can I cut out the visor?

gorilla glue? hmmm hadn't thought about that one. Does it allow any flex or does it hold pretty still?

Yeah it does. That stuff is dang near dangerously sticky. Make sure you wear some gloves when you're working with it. And preferrably some long sleeves.

When you get it stuck in your arm hair, it can't be cut off. You have to yank it out...yeesh. *shudders*

also it expands when it dry's so keep an eye on it, you may need to do some sanding when it dry.
