It worked. No smell only the head itself. Wife was there in the Kitchen and didn't scream at me. I still need to figure out a few things. Like trying to still get the face to go inside the back plate without such a gap. I guess owning a scuba hood might help to as I have medium size Will Smith ears. It's the ears!! LOL!! Bondo a crack/break I did myself. (not bad it may actually help for what I need) It's where the side knobs go on the face part.nondisclosed_email@example.com (3p08099)Mon, 17 Mar 2008 09:48:17 +0000 Re: Making a fiberglass helmet bigger???https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p985,from=rss#post985https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p985,from=rss#post985Let me know how it works...

Worked great, and there was no smell at all.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Trooper TK409)Sun, 16 Mar 2008 09:44:16 +0000 Re: Making a fiberglass helmet bigger???https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p979,from=rss#post979https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p979,from=rss#post979I was told, that if you preheat an oven to 250 degrees, and bake the fiberglass piece for 1 minute, it can be SLOWLY reshaped, then shocked in cold water. I am not willing to try this, however, because apparnetly the smell is hard to get rid of, and it sets off nasty fumes. I wonder if putting it in a kiln would work? nondisclosed_email@example.com (D3po2)Sun, 16 Mar 2008 00:56:07 +0000 Making a fiberglass helmet biggerhttps://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p978,from=rss#post978https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p978,from=rss#post978Ok, D3po2 ....

Only time will tell if I've been scammed or not? If I did do it credit card.... How I would go about that? I know he doesn't have paypal and he says he hopes to get it where he can do online credit cards payments.... I love the word wish..... Because I wish I would of known all of this before Jan 4th. I will let you guys know in the weeks to come my progress if any.

I've spent $451 on half of it now. I've got a tracking number. He has sent me pics of my other armor. Looks legit. I wish I would of now about TK409's armor first. I would of had it by now. Now Bent_10 say this in an e-mail....... "i was talking to my bank today and their policy for international money orders are 40 days clearance time and a cost of $12 aud , they mentioned it would be easyer to direct deposit via wire transfer fron your online account to mine , this only takes 2 days so they say .." He said two days ago that I'm not to blame that he no longer accepts pay pal , just send a money order and he would ship it when he receives it and I wont have to pay the $10 or wait the 21 days , as he feels at fault aswell. But now his bank says something else? So what do I do? nondisclosed_email@example.com (3p08099)Fri, 29 Feb 2008 10:32:47 +0000 Re: Got a problem with my 3P0 armorhttps://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p924,from=rss#post924https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p924,from=rss#post924What pieces do you need? Maybe you can source them somewhere else. TK-409's armor is superb, and turn around is pretty good too.   nondisclosed_email@example.com (D3po2)Thu, 28 Feb 2008 20:55:58 +0000 Baking the fiber glass helmet worked!!!!https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p918,from=rss#post918https://bc3pobuilders.runboard.com/p918,from=rss#post918Hello my friends. I'm new here as you can see. LOL My name Christopher Garrison... SL8099/TK8099/TD8099 of the 70th Explorers of the 501st. I purchased my 3P0 armor from Bent_10 from Australia back in Jan 4th. I only paid half via paypal private purchase. He just sent the first half of my armor yesterday. The other half well come when I send him the other half of the payment either money order or direct deposit as he just shut off his paypal account 2 weeks ago. Good thing I have money in the bank. I was doing it all via credit card to pay back later on. This thing has taken forever.....I asked how the progress was going Jan 15th and he said any day now he would have it done. finally got results and pictures last week. Kept e-mailing him over and over the last few days. He said it looked like harassment to him. I wanted so bad to turn around and say I’m only nagging because it looks like stealing and lying to me!! About 2-3 weeks ago he was getting negatives after negatives on ebay. I was really starting to get sick...... finding out all this now. I looked at a few forums and talked to a few 501st members about this. It seems there is a history of this with him. Just praying that I’m not one of the few that got the boot. The wife and I are still trying to find out how to go about getting him his money. Money order? Or Direct deposit? I know with money order he may pull the whole it take 31 days to clear so I will send you the rest of the armor when it’s cleared or with direct deposit would I see my money go and no armor? (using a bank account that will only have the money for him and nothing else that can be taken out) Wish I could use my credit card for this. I’m just chomping at the bit to get my armor. ANY HELP HERE WOULD BE GREAT. Thanks   nondisclosed_email@example.com (3p08099)Thu, 28 Feb 2008 11:01:35 +0000
