Working on my Helmet

To finish the best bucket available, a lot of work, patience and skill is required.

So first I had to hot glue together all the pieces from the inside in order to get a solid and sturdy helmet. I did this by glueing together the face and bumpy cap/back pieces.

Then, cause sometimes the HIPS is thinner than desired, I used epoxy glue to make it a bit thicker. This is not required but recommended to make it more trooping friendly.

Here the pictures show the hot glue on both sides of the helmet inside, and a bit of epoxy dough.
