Hello.
I joined the site earlier this month after almost purchasing ebay stormtrooper armor.
Luckily I found this site and found out that it was garbage before I purchased it.
After doing a lot of research here I purchased an ATA helmet and put myself on the waiting list for the rest of the armor.
Sat morning a brown box arrived, and I proceeded to rip it apart and start right in on building it.
Last night I finished the build.
(Still have to add the S-Gasket to the bottom)
Well, the outside anyway, now I need to pad the inside.
Everything was hand painted (didn't want to wait for decals)
I could not find anything on line thickness/brush width, line count, etc on the 501st site..
It appears my black might be a bit thick, but it does look good in person, and I do have 11 blue lines per side.
Is there anything I need to address so far with this helmet?
(looking for 501 acceptance when I get and finish the armor)
Anyway, here are a few photos
(can't see, but I do have one rank stripe per side on the ears)
