Nice work, looks great

Correct, glue front cover strip and stretch open, some also glue an inside strip to give more support. I have not heard of anyone having issues with this method

Just to make everyone aware I did send Peter a copy of the comparison photos but have not received a reply as yet.

Replied on your other post, don't loose hope yet

Don't panic yet . Helmets are not made mirrored and they can sit differently on both sides, gap on one side and not on the other. From your photos it does look like your faceplate could come upwards and also forward at the chin. Also the trim line on the front of the cap does not look straight, may need a trim so the brow trim sits a little higher, will allow the faceplate to come upwards. I would advise using magnets to hold everything in place, not clamps through the eyes as that will push pieces apart. Remember if you have any gaps on the sides the ears will cover these. I found referencing others builds to be a great help

That's the one

Looking much better, I would still try to reduce the gap a little more

Happy to be of help, looks as if the ear now needs to come down to meet with the cheek

Hello and welcome aboard, have a good look through the Anovos build threads, lots of helpful info there

Congrats trooper and welcome to the ranks

Hello and welcome aboard

I think you could still try to save that ear, you really want to sand down any part that is touching, you can see on the front it is touching in the middle of the ear, also being forced outwards by the back of the ear. Ears are the worst to get right the first time around, if you have no luck try contacting AM about a replacement, most armor makers will sell pieces separately and help a trooper out.

There's a nice AM helmet build with some great photos for comparison here http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29910-seantx-am-20-stunt/page-3#entry430646

"If you rated the accuracy from one to ten on quality of the vac form, what would that be?" 6/10 some of the abs is thin in places, there are some imperfections present and some areas have been over trimmed "Also, on a scale of one to ten, where would you rate the accuracy when compared to screen used?" 5/10 there are a lot of details either not present or not defined enough

Great work, all that sanding, I don't envy you

coming along nicely

Great to see another review in progress, looking forward to your thoughts and findings Clint

We use blue tape here which I believe is the same as the frog tape at your end. There is a good tip for bleed through here http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/23204-tip-on-tube-stripe-painting-with-no-bleed-through/, pictures missing but will get the idea

Standing like a mannequin has to be one of my favorite, amazing how many fall for it and get a massive surprise once you move or speak
