Thought I'd share some pics of my ATA ANH Stunt build. I started off with the helmet first. Needless to say I was terrified with every cut and trim I made, lol! Seriously though, I was.
I'm really happy that ATA Works sends a set of spare ears. I ended up using one.
I followed Gazmosis's ATA helmet build (I highly recommend for your 1st ATA helmet). I'm really happy with the cheesecloth Plasti-Dip interior.
I've completed the helmet (and blaster during the long ATA wait). I have also built up more confidence working with the material. I've trimmed most of the parts and I'm currently in the process of creating my bracket system for the torso. I pulled out my wife's sewing machine, read through the instructions and started sewing the elastic loops. It was easier then I was anticipating. I got some great tips from RainTrooper with placing the brackets on the ATA armor. ATA has some very small return edges so some of the screws face outwards but they will be covered by the belt.
I did a test fit of the armor and found that I will need to trim 1 inch off of each side of the kidney to get a much better fit. It was like wearing a loose plastic barrel before I made the adjustments. I'm 5' 10" and 160 lbs. The pics below show the ab and kidney taped to where I'll be making the cut on the kidney. I love the fit of this much better. I might need to trim the butt a bit so it lines up, but I'm going to wait and see on that. I'm happy to hear comments and suggestions.
