Re: Star Lord Helmet and Map Projector **UPDATE 11-11: Shipping begins!
Payment sent MDuckett; looking at the pics do you have a hose casted for the chin area. Was watching the movie and have seen it in still shots from the movie. Wasn't sure if I missed it in some other thread.

Re: Star Lord Helmet and Map Projector **UPDATE 11-28 RUN #2 INTEREST**
Quick update before I head out to dinner tonight, but interest for the second run is up. I'll be back with more info later tonight. PM me if you want to be a part of it.
And thank you so much everyone who was a part of the first run! You made this a really great experience for my first project run.

Projector update!
The map projectors ship as three parts. The body piece and two optional replacement faces. One projector face breaks into three pieces and the middle can be omitted for a projection port. The other can be cut to the desired layout. Otherwise, you can just cut the existing face, which contains a hole for the pour sprue, to your desired shape. You can of course use your own material for the face if you have something else in mind.
We’ve had houseguests for almost three weeks straight, so progress has slowed down, and I apologize about that. But I’ll be getting these projectors out now so watch for a PM soon if you expressed interest earlier or PM me for info.
And of course the new helmet run is starting up, so if you’d like to get on it let me know! There are limited spaces available, so get in while you can!

Same place as on the original, on the seamline that runs down behind the temples, then back over the ears and curves down behind them. When the recessed area curves back at the bottom, you just keep going down. Then slap a bunch of rare earth magnets in there and you've got yourself a helmet.

Hey MDuckett... Any chance you could please post just a close up of the side where the back part of the helmet attaches to the front half. It would be a big help just so I get mine axactly right. No rush though just if you had a spare minute sometime
Thanks

I assume the lighter stuff on the inside edge is how you've attached magnets - what did you use for it? I just got my helmet a couple of days ago, and definitely want a magnetic closure.

It's a slow cure epoxy. It's reinforcing all of the magnets that are individually glued on with 5 minute epoxy. I've since added it to the front as well. This way if one magnet wants to pop off, they all have to.

Thanks! I've never worked with a kit before (only foam) so I have no idea what products to use. I'm slowly compiling a list!
