[ATA anh stunt helmet...finally started!]

Thanks for the reply Mathias...I have seen the photos of the originals and I do realize that the teeth corners are squared.

 

Do they have to be squared off to meet standards and if so, are there any worries about cracking?

What Glen said ^^^^ about the teeth.

You did a great job on the eyes! I think thats the hardest part of the face trimming too.

Thanks Isaac.

Looking good, just try to square the corners of the teeth a bit more, I used some small files on mine

Thanks for the input Glen, but I have a question about the teeth...I've read its not good to have 90 degree

corners cut into the plastic for reasons of preventing cracking and it seems like the teeth would be a whole bunch of

sharp corners if they were all squared.

 

Is squaring the teeth a requirement or is it a personal preference choice?

Ok...trying to figure out how to post pics...

[ATA anh stunt helmet...finally started!]

Well, I've had it for a few weeks. Did a ton of research and read the how to's and figured it was time.

 

Here's what I've done so far...

Welcome to the Empire Danny!

Thanks Sam! Glad to be here!

remember the golden rule measure twice cut once.

So true...and much better than the old standard: "I've cut it twice and it's still too short!"

 

You're build threads are awesome by the way! Great attention to detail...

Thanks to all for the welcoming replies!

Hello everyone, I've been checking out this site for about a month now and all i have to say is "wow". Talk about a wealth of information! I am currently on the waiting list for an ATA TK armor kit and have the helmet kit already. I have read Pandatrooper's helmet build thread multiple times along with a few others...slowly building the nerve to start trimming...

 

I have already hobbled together an old Kenner E-11 blaster conversion from an incomplete doopy's kit and a few scratch built pieces...(of course next will be a full resin kit or pipe build).

 

Any how, thanks to everyone who takes the time to post build threads, it really helps!

 

Danny.
