What are they used for? Are they required?

Ok, I need some help! What is a return edge and how do I make one? Thanks!

What is CA glue?

How does everyone put the metal mesh into the Hovi mic tips? What type of glue? Is there any trimming needed? Thanks!

I need major help with my ear pieces (this is my third attempt on trimming the ATA ear pieces)! What is the easiest way to trim them? Which ear piece goes on the left and which one goes on the right? It seems like Ear Piece B is larger than Ear Piece A, why is that? Any good tutorials out there? Thanks! Thanks to Carlos who sent me his extra pair when I messed up both of my ear piece pairs!

Ok, I am going to now glue this button plate on the Ab plate! How does it look? I want some feedback before I glue! I am using ATA armor!

Thank you! I took MANY tiny pieces painters tape and went around it the buttons.

Ok, I am about to glue on one of my Ab button plates! How does it look? I am going to attach it using the E-6000 glue and clamp it down with rear earth magnets. -----------

What is the best tool for the job when cutting out the ear pieces?

I like the idea of using screws on the neck tubes instead of rivets. Is the blue painters tape in the correct position so that I can drill my holes for the screws?

Thanks Carlos!!!

Alright, the first 2 rivets are in! Here are the pictures! What are your thoughts? The blue painters tape is where I plan to put in the other 2 pop rivets. Will I have to worry about the bottom screw of the ear piece?

Ok, thank you! So is this what the rivet should look like when all done? Front (Outside of helmet): Back (Inside of helmet): Thank you all so much for the help! Sorry if I am a little too nervous! Star Wars is my life and I don't won't to mess it up with one little mistake!

Sounds good! With the pop rivet, I drill the hole, put the rivet in, put a washer on the inside of the helmet around the rivet, and then use the gun..correct? Thanks!

Sweet! Thank you! What about the neck portion? Look at the last picture and at the bottom it kind of curves in another direction. Is this ok?

I need some help before I put the rivets in! I want to make sure the helmet is lined up properly! Thanks for the help!!

Sweet! Thank you!

Awesome! Thank you! What tool did you use? Did you cut it with scissors or did you use the exacto blade and basically snap the sides off?

Crisis averted!

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I am going to buy a replacement, but what about the other ab plate button panel? How much do I trim it? Should it lay flat? What is the best tool for the job? ------------

It won't fit in because the length of the space on the ab plate is shorter than the button panel! Thanks for the link!

Do you have a link to Gazmosis' build?

Wonderful, it looks like I must have trimmed mine way too short! Do you have a link to his build?

I am getting very frustrated with my build! I can't get these button plates to fit into their designated spots! PLEASE HELP!!! This is really pushing my buttons (pun intended)!!!

Ok, so I have been trimming my helmet and I need to know if I need to trim more. Here are pictures of my helmet so far! Let me know if you need to see more pictures to make more accurate advice! Thanks for the help!
