Two quick prop updates from the workshop today. First I have attached a
strap and inner padding to the Cadian helmet:
The inner padding makes things much more comfortable. I hot glued velcro to
the helmet interior which the pads bind to so they are adjustable to a degree.
It also makes the helmet sit a little higher on my head giving me a clearer
line of sight. The strap helps cut down on the helmet rolling around on my
head, which is still a minor issue, but it has been mostly mitigated.
Still some issues with craters on the helmet. Trying to level things out
with some wood filler and spackling paste. Results are mixed, but still
investigating.
Next up I attached a handle to my chainsword.
Not exactly canon, but it makes it easier to carry around. It is just some
cheap chain and a red painted dowel. Seems sturdy enough, but I have my doubts
it will last long. Also the chain gets tangled up sometimes, have to work on
securing it so that does not happen.
