If you are looking for a more permanent option that will lock the visor in place, I used Plastic Welder from Walmart. It is a 2 part epoxy that hardens in about 10-15 minutes and is designed to work very well with any kind of plastic. It also mixes very thick, unlike regular epoxy, and it is...

I work for a very large glass corporation that makes auto and architectural glass. This may not help you, but the way they do it for glass is....they transport the raw glass over an electromagnet. There are 7 metals (including silver and others, I forget them all) and they are in a gasous form...

I think your costume looks really good. The only one thing I see, is maybe a little too much 'damage' done on the armor and gauntlets. Lessen up the silver areas a bit would be my only observation. For the jumpsuit, I went to the local store and bought Rit fabric dye and added the dye and...

Awesome!

Another thing from my personal experience Fettist, I was wearing my stormtrooper outfit this Halloween and I have 2 computer fans built into my helmet. What I noticed was that this is nice, but it seems to circulate the warm air inside the helmet. Although this is a nice reprive from having no...

This is the inside of my helmet. It is a Rubies, which I don't mind because I have a fairly small head. The only major challenge with them, is the shape. I have a 1/8" peice of steel flat stock that is holding the flair of the mask. I also have 2 computer fans mounted with twin 9 volts wired...

Yeah...works pretty good for me, Jango and I think it is comfy. NP Gator :) It's all about the free sharing of ideas for fellow Fetters!!

I used Plastic Weld Epoxy. It is made to adhere to the type of material the buckets are made out of. Easy to use and apply, dries perm. hard in 15 minutes, and is super durable. I used the inside 'tacking' method that is explained on tk409.com. You only need to put a few dabs placed in...

Oops, sorry for the last pic. Accidently clicked hotlink and my pics are high res.

Just thought I would throw this out to the group. My jet pack is pretty solid and it has some weight to it. I was a little concerned about how to build a harness and I did not think the average black nylon strap was going to cut it. I searched for 'military harness' on Ebay and came up with...

Maybe I am totally color blind, but I got a SFP Jumpsuit and it does not seem to be lavendar to me. I may be wrong, but here are some pics. Tell me how you think mine compares.

Thanks for the mention, Saturn. Yeah, my bucket did not turn out too bad. It is not 100%, but on the left ear piece I had a lot of 'pull off' from the mustard drying all the way. I just used the mustard layering technique you can find by searching here and spray paints. I am pretty happy...

Yeah, I used the 1/8" flat stock because it is thin enough to shape just by hand bending, but it is also very strong and will easily hold the vinyl in place. I first shaped the steel to the proper U shape. The trick is to then mount the middle of the U shaped steel at the back of the helmet (I...

My Rubies Bucket.... I used an 1/8" piece of flat steel stock to hold the flair. The top is not too bad, so i did not mess with shaping the top. I have a bobamaker T-visor, I have custom cut vinyl decals, and the paint job was a layered technique with the color scheme posted in this forum...

There is also a spray on Plasti-Dip. Go to the local hardware store. I got a can at Ace Hardware in town. I used it to spray onto my pair of gauntlets, because they to have fiberglass on the inside. It is made by the same company that makes the canned plasti-dip that you can use to dip tools...
