Re: Lostnz OGA build thread
Hi All
been a little while but i have been busy. everything is cut and trimmed and fitted the last step is strapping it all together. i think im going to use elastic for all the strapping and i plan to permanently attach it all at the back and use snaps at the front so it can kind of be pulled tight then snapped closed as far as i can see most people use a snap on each end of an elastic tie.
Im really just looking for some ideas from the guys wearing the suits what method have you used and how effective is it? in terms of dressing yourself maneuverability and resilience.
any pointers here are greatly appreciated

Hi Do did you paint the whole helmet ?
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

Re: Lostnz OGA build thread
Looking good there mate!.
Just a heads up with the helmet build & which type you are depicting.
At the moment you have a mix of 'hero' & 'stunt' type.
If going for stunt, you have the correct number of screws for the ears...1 above the ear & 1 below & one down by the neck trim, but you would need to have 4 opened up holes on either side of the teeth. You only have 3 opened up which is hero only!. Open up the last small hole on both sides & you good to go for stunt!.
Too late now I guess to go hero because you have drilled the ears.
Looking forward to more progress & have a blast!.
