Updates on my helmet. Anything I’ve missed?

 

 

 

[Kaosem's ANH Hero WTF Build]

I know I have to cut these down a bit more to fit properly. Is the forearm length correct?

 

 

 

 

Thoughts on the bubble lenses? (Please ignore the ear hole. I have yet to deal with that sucker. )

So I’ve taken a little break from the helmet and did some research on biceps. This is currently where I’m at:

 

 

Is there a rule of thumb on how snug they should fit? I have removed the return edges on the top. Is there any benefit to leaving the return edges on the bottom? Like making me look less puny? Lol

Thank you. I think I’ve fixed it. I do have holes showing on each side now from the previous positioning. Is there a fix to cover them? Also anything else that needs fixed so far? Really appreciate the help!

The gap from the front is pretty big and the ear piece is thin so I don’t want to cut more. Is the gap going to be an issue? 

[Kaosem's ANH Hero WTF Build]

 

Wow ears are frustrating. Anything I can fix? I’m hoping once bolted on they will sit more flush because when I hold it harder against the helmet the biggest gap is in the front.

Awesome. Thank you.

I suppose the next step would be to drill holes for the ears. Does this look like correct positioning?

Progress so far on the helmet. More filing needed anywhere?

Thanks so much everyone. This is very helpful!

Thank you everyone!

 

Is there anything specific I should know about selecting a black undersuit since I am aiming for Centurion? Is it supposed to be more of a cotton material? Or lycra with a shine? I want to find something so I can wear it underneath while sizing armor. 

 

Also, I am concerned about making the armor small enough to fit. I am 5'6" and 120lbs. It seems very big.

Yesterday was BBB day! 

 

 

Did a layout today. Excited to get started but overwhelmed too. 

 

 

 

I'm thinking I will start on the helmet first. I am aiming for Centurion.

Hi back atcha' Emily, and welcome to the FISD!  If you haven't had the chance yet, you should sign up and say hello at the Florida Garrison site, fl501st.com.  Looks as if you are in Tampa Bay Squad territory, and there are some great folks there.  I believe Ken (PiettLives), the Imperial Attache for the TB area is having an armor party coming up soon.  These are a good chance to get to know your future Squad mates, learn a lot about armor, and ask tons of questions.

Your TK journey begins with research.  Lots and lots of research.  Your biggest purchase will be your armor, so I would be sure to look here first: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/11538-the-various-types-of-armor-and-where-to-find-them/.  Just know that we are here for answers to any info. you can't find, and best of luck on your shiny white armor quest!

 

Thanks all! And thank you justjospeh63 for your help!

Hi everyone! Thanks for all of the helpful posts on here. This gives me a lot to look forward to once I finally save up for my armor. I'm also looking forward to meeting others in my area who share my Star Wars & trooping interests!
