[My NE Build Thread]

Another brown box today!

 

 

It's my E-11 kit I bought from Palpatine1977!

 

Can't wait to get started.

 

[Another NE build]

I think it is. This is exactly how mine sit too.

[My NE Build Thread]

As you can see... Terrible. I'll need a new ear.

 

[Another NE build]

I'm seeing that too. I also trimmed some of the foot off. Maybe I can still salvage mine.

 

No word on new ears for me though.

[Another NE build]

Can you measure how much plastic you have on the edge of the round part of the ear? I'm curious if I can salvage the one I have.

[My Iron Man Mk Vi]

Thanks all! Yeah I have an RPF thread too.

[My NE Build Thread]

Is the rest of your kit done?

 

Good luck with the bucket. :-/ BTW, have you heard anything from them about decals?

Yes, the rest is pretty much done.  Still need to do some of the strapping.  And possible some trimming of return edges for a better fit.  

 

Nothing about decals specifically for the NE helmet.  I bought a set that are for AM/FX and I think they will fit.  But I haven't applied them yet so I don't know for sure.

Made this last year. EVA foam and then given a resin "skin".

 

 

 

[NE armor build thread]

Any updates? Your build is looking really good.

[My NE Build Thread]

Well I need a new ear. Totally mangled the left one trying to get this to work. Hopefully I can get one. Pretty much dead in the water until I do.

[My NE Build Thread]

I think they are too small too.

[Another NE build]

Looks great I think.

 

They sent me some photos to try and help. But I think I might need a new ear. We'll see.

[OW's NE build: ANH Stunt]

Looking good!

[Another NE build]

Uhg. That doesn't give me a lot of hope. I emailed trooper gear about it today. I'll let you know what I hear. I may end up needing another pair too. Maybe I'll just go ahead and order a set now just in case.

I'm having a horrible time with the ears on the NE helmet as well. Have you made any progress? I had to put mine down before I smashed it I was getting so frustrated.

 

It seems to me that there's no way they will fit to touch the ridge line as mentioned above.

[My NE Build Thread]

I don't see how the ears can possibly fit.

 

[My NE Build Thread]

About to give up on the bucket. So frustrating.

[My NE Build Thread]

It's your build. You do as you want.

Thanks I will.

[My NE Build Thread]

I think it looks fine as it is. It may not be 100% screen accurate but I think it looks fine.

 

Thanks.

[My NE Build Thread]

Ah ok. I see what you mean. I did trim that. It did not fit over the box molded on the ab otherwise.

[My NE Build Thread]

Why did you trim the ab plate like that? It's supposed to have the wide flat area around it to hold the glue to the ab.

What are you talking about? I didn't trim anything off the ab plate.

[My NE Build Thread]

I support the people's right to bear Stormtrooper arms.

 

[My NE Build Thread]

Paint.

 

[My NE Build Thread]

Attempting the faceplate. This thing is a pain.

 

[My NE Build Thread]

So this is what happened. Going to have to rip this apart and try again. Maybe use super glue or something that set faster.

 

Gotta say. Not a fan of the three part helmet.
