I am having trouble with the chin on the mmpr blue ranger helmet. I can't find any good pictures of the underside of the helmet. my base for the sculpt is half the size a real head so I'm doubling everything.. but the chin is confusing me... he under part of it.

I have a question on the subject what are the hinges and the latch that keeps the two halves of a helmet called and does anyone know were I can get them? :confused:

[Shoebasket]

Lowes useto have them, but thoes assholes stopped using the brand the company that makes them is called National and they are called Draw Catches. good luck lookin alot of companies swiched over from using national brand.

I dont know but here is a site I found that says they have draw catches

I also have another question what would hold the two halves of the helmet together. I dont mean to close the helmet but to attach it to the other half and make it so it opens and close's if you know what I mean.

yeah well as lowtech as it sounds even in the show they use insustrial strents outdoor double sided mounting tape. sounds shitty but its what is used :-)

i could of sworn they had a built in thing show in the inside to make it move open like whats on doors "hinges"

[zordon]

they used a thick piece of elastic

[ShadowFox]

So in this case what would be the ideal thing to use? :confused:

[Verdilene]

the draw catches i guess
for me i'm gonna try and use velcro on teh inside to hold it together, dunno if its gonna work but its worht a shot since the pins are really annoying me

[DaiShiRio]

youd have to create some sort of overlap if your using velcro becareful tho as your hair could get caught in the velcro
