Are these the right way (the two half's) because the tops don't fit so well?

[TM 2mm abs Hero build[*TM]]

so i've been trimming and been using different tools for different parts - dremel, lexan scissors and this

think its a metal work tool i call it a chomper its really good on the 2mm ABS and good in the corners

Update-

Using thin black line tape that i think came with a calender im not too sure. Just getting the outline sorted. was thinking of leaving these like below pic, but think it might not give it that hand painted look.

all masked up then a thin coat of gray this time. left it over night then another thin coat. Seemed to work better.

while i've been waiting for this to dry i've started trimming the armour and is going well but have same questions.

1. How much of a return edge do i leave (is there a standard diameter)

2. which parts have a return egde? all?

Hi guys i've built my new hero helmet and started painting it but finding hard. I've stripped back the bits i didn't like. Most problems happening are paint wrinkling up and paint not being flat. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so want it right........any tips?

[Hello from Lincoln,uk]

Hi i would like to say hello to everyone. My name is Craig and like pretty much everyone on here a massive Star Wars fan. In fact i was so disgusted with my fiancée for not having seen Star Wars i refused to get married until she had seen them all!!!! Anyway done lots of research and think i know what i want, Its just a case of going for ANH kit or ROTJ kit (CFO) . Just need to get in touch with TM as i have been in contact with Mark. So any help will be very appreciated also i'm a little short at 5,7/8 (for a storm trooper) can both kits fit me?
