hey robot fans welcome back to the build let's see if we can get this helmet on
top of my big head today okay like we mentioned last time this helmet has an
interior rim I'm going to use a dremel with a sanding bit just to see if I
could sand this down to this corner here and just get rid of all of this interior
stuff and maybe just this part of this lip as much as I'm willing to sacrifice
in terms of strength and hopefully that'll be enough to fit it over my head
if that doesn't work then I'm going to have to get a little exacto saw and cut
the face off literally cut john travolta style down here up over and around and
then I can reattach it with magnets every time I wear it I would basically
just fit my whole head into the face area then pop the face on top really
really really don't want to have to do that that is a last resort no question
so let's hope it doesn't get to that but we'll see what happens
safety first masks and goggles there's no real secret here to what I'm doing I
just took the dremel to the inside of that rim and tried to remove as much
mass as I could while keeping the structure pretty sound I don't know man
as I'm doing this I don't feel like I'm removing a whole lot of mass and I'm
worried that it's still not gonna work but there really wasn't too much that
was needed so hopefully I can get it to fit okay did it work this is as far as I
can get it on so while it worked really well in getting my head through the neck
hole now these giant cheek inserts here these little insects I should say are
getting caught on my brow area right above my eyes my temples I think if I
gave it a really good push down I can pop it on but I don't want to do that so
let's take a look at the inside of the helmet and see if there's any room to do
anything anywhere is this an intimidating clone trooper would you be
intimidated by this I don't think I would be okay so here's the big cheek on
the outside and if we go right to the inside you can see it's all this right
here so this is hitting my head as I push in and obviously there's one on
each side so you can see right here and here there's these a little bit of an
obstacle for my head to get through but then look past that it's it's all open
open territory beyond there I just need to get my the biggest part of my head
past there and make sure that on the bottom side I don't think I'm gonna get
to the bottom of it but on the bottom side I have to make sure that it's
smooth coming back out so I don't get stuck inside so I think based on the
size of some of these drips from the resin that's in there there seems to be
a decent amount of material there for sanding so I think the key here is going
to be remove as much mass as I can and then get it absolutely as smooth as I
can since my face has to scrub past this I think I'm gonna have to put on some
kind of clear coat at the end so I don't scratch up my face every time I put this
thing on and off but I think there's gonna be enough room to sand off and
really get my head in there because it's close and like I said I can definitely
push it on there but I just don't wanna get stuck I can imagine my wife coming
home finding my head stuck in this thing I don't want to give her that kind of
power so I'm gonna get to sanding on this yeah I'm gonna go back outside this
resin stuff is really dusty so I'm not doing this inside and so okay I just
sanded out those cheeks all the way down to the wife you see on that one spot
there might have even gone too far you can see the light coming through but
still holding up the other side here i sanded all the way through the black and
now I have a lot of resin built up inside of here I'm gonna to get my air
gun and clean this thing out and then try it back on
okay back inside I got everything cleaned out with my air gun and I did a
quick test fit upstairs and I did not get it past the point that it was
previously however I think I can so my thinking now is if I'm gonna get my head
stuck in this thing I might as well do it on camera and get some youtube views
out of it so here we go we're gonna put this thing on for real all right
do this it's on and it's on yes okay now I can finally do the thing that I
wanted to do before okay now that comes the hard part
am I gonna be able to get this thing off of my head I do not know so here we go
well okay I thought I was stuck for a second there but it kind of slid off
towards the end so that's actually really reassuring I think this is it's a
lot tighter than I want it to be but I think it's good I think it'll be a lot
better when I get this eye area cut out so I can actually see out of the helmet
and it's not just this encapsulating helmet of darkness great mischief
managed for this episode I think next time I will do the cutting out of these
eye holes and the cutting out of these little grates here and I think that'll
be good but success I have the helmet on my big head and I truly and honestly did
not think that was gonna happen so great I don't have to cut the face off alright
see you next time but first here's the progression so far now we have two
successful images on this progression and hopefully this will just keep
getting better and better alright see you later
you
