Re: My RS Prop kit build
Oh, now that's an interesting idea. I was going to glue mine in place as seems to be standard, but I'm going to look mine over and consider your strategy further...

I'm using the supplied strips of ABS to make z brackets to hold the lens in place.
Easy to remove for cleaning

Re: My RS Prop kit build
Darn...
I accidentally deleted the bondo pics from my memory card :facepalm
Anyways, I ran out of grey primer, so I used white primer.
Still obvious signs of needing more sanding
haha I got alittle excited on how it looks close to done, I started adding the inner padding and fans.
Oh yea...plastidipped spray the inside as well
Comfy!!!

Re: My RS Prop kit build
Yep, not the most conventional way of doing it, but it was also done for the purpose of possibly going from clean to weathered (which would make painting a whole lot easier).
I'm still undecided.

That is one of the reasons the lack of the video is annoying. They imply they know something others may not be doing "correct", they sell the kits with no instructions at all, and they drag their feet on releasing the promised "correct" instructional video. A kit as expensive as that should have instructions at the time of release.Well...
I don't know if this is the correct way, but that's how I'm doing it

I built an RS kit a couple of years ago for the charity "biker scout helmet project" .
I found it really easy ..after all, because you are going to,paint it , you can apply as much filler as you like ..instantly hide ant mistakes !
I can't think of any expert insight that is required .

I agree about the expert insight now, but at the time, once I received it I just tucked it away until I saw any announcement.
I haven't even checked out anyone's builds in the bikerscout.net
Last sunday, I finally had the house to myself (wife and kids was at a birthday party).
So I thought...what the hell, lets do this
its pretty much straight forward
I apologize for no updates.
Been working on this at the same time
So yesterday I went back to the helmet.
I did the square cut for the 3m bolt.
Nice and tight. The lid stays up properly.
Everything else went by so fast.
-Masked the nose
-sprayed with black paint
-sprayed the mouth piece
I will eventually replace with Ukswrath scout audio system
Applied the decals
