I used a heat gun. Cut a scrap wood rod to a length that'll push the walls out to match, then evenly apply heat.
Finishing my Star Lord helmet :)

Here's a schematic for the LEDs from my kit:

As with pretty much all LED strips, cut every 3 LEDs

You could also use warm/.hot water.. leave the rod/stick between the walls until its 100% cooled down and where it needs to be.. a day or 2 is always good..then when you put the magnets in it will hold it in place easy enough

And now you will want to check over the helmet to make sure the silver is all good and shiny and all the inks are dry then use a clear coat, a few light coats.. I used a satin finish so its not a super shiny helmet. Add some magnets and foam..elastic strap and you good to go
I don't suppose you have any photos of where you installed the magnets and what size they are (3mm, 5mm)? Any info on the affixing of the elastic would be great as well
I think my helmet has arrived so going to get started on it asap, this info will help me finish it when the time comes

I don't have any pics of that. Next time I finish one I will take some pics. I use 1/4" round magnets from a local place here.

If you're referring to Star-Lord helmets in general, the screen used helmets were two pieces, just as this one is separated
The ones TheRocketeer and I sell were designed in 2 pieces. The one piece helmets have to cut out details around the chin area so you can fit it on your head...

Yep these are built as 2 piece helmets...the thread is for our helmet so no need to bring up those other ones lol
And some bad phone pics of the latest one I did up

I don't think anyone could get them over their head unless it was a 2-piece.
It's like that so it's easy to get on/off. Unlike a rubber cowl, these won't stretch to fit.
Be sure to use magnets to attach both parts, don't glue them together, defeats the 2 part design...
