Warhammer glue?  You mean Plastic glue, right?  I find it has middling effects if you're not using the kind of plastic it was built to weld/melt. Is there some kind of guide we can use online for all these adhesives, or should a vod just find out for themselves?

In my arsenal of adhesions, I use a lot of E-6000 (keeps rank bar caps on even after dropping them god knows how many times, I have done several runs for other people in my area and none of them have said any of their caps have fallen off to this day), Shoe goo (which I admit sounds really odd, but its from the same makers of the E-6000 but sticks to a lot of surfaces and has a much harder dried surface than the E-6000), Super glue (sometimes you just need a spot wield that is quick to hold) and gorilla glue (but I only use this if the project has two surfaces that are resisting each other in some way)

But on the hasbro helmets I have a lot better luck using the E-6000 and Shoe Goo more than anything else.  And I think I used about everyone of the others to try to glue in some new cheeks on my J2P helmet and nothing stuck to the plastic.

We finished painting the bucket with green and matte black around the visor. I used the original one, but took off quite a bit from the part below the eyes. I then put on carwindow stuff (20%), so he was able to see enough. My son finished the helmet using silver drybrush. So the end result is a bit shiny, but that's how he wanted it.

So, here are some pictures taken during the Spaceritter event in Oberhausen last weekend.

Looks a bit wobbleheaded  :)
This is more in perspective:

The size doesn't look that bad. It's a tad big but not bobble-head huge in my opinion. However, it looks like it's riding a little high on his head because it's tilted forward from what I can see. Do you have padding in there? If so you might consider cutting it down by half.
Could just be that he has a long neck like me though and it's all an illusion:D

There is some padding in there so he can actually look through the visor.
But, he is a little giraffe  ;D so we'll always keep the "neckproblem".
