Re: robo3687's Pep Files -Imperial Commando helmet posted! 25/9/10
just FYI to those that are doing the chest lighting and want an actual LED in the chest i found that you dont need a whole lot. in one of the test chests i cut a small hole in the top, coated the inside with clear gloss, and used a sheet of plastic that you get in a toy package (transformers collector) and used a bit of sand paper to scuff up the inside of the sheet , cut it to fit and glued it in. the light bounces off of the bottom of the inside of the triangle (should work better in the circle version) and spreads evenly across the whole thing.
on another note - re peping all of the parts again and was curious if the neck is all one part once its assembled or does it stay in 3 sperate parts? never actually did robo's neck - i used Dancin_Fool's neck which is SLIGHTLY incompatable but still works to some degree.

cheap and cheerful. Then the usual bodyfiller on the outside to shape, and choose a sole of your choice. Anyone who disagrees with this please say cos my mate thinks it wont work... but he's a window licker.
