  3. My RS Props Armor Build

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted · Edited by TK_LEPER

    A long time coming I know!

     

    Like the Barber who's too busy to get a haircut ... I finally made myself a thermal detonator!

     

    I kind of messed up on the holster, and put the rivets where they had the belt marked ... right in the center! Oh Well.

     

    I might order a new belt anyhow... this one is a little too small for me. I also need to trim the inside of my forearms as well.

  6. ATA Helmet Build

    in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance

    Posted · Edited by TK_LEPER

    Sanded out some imperfections in the paint last weekend, and gave it a second coat this Morning. Once the paint is dry... I'll wet sand it once more, polish add the hand-painted details.

     

    Production Steps:

     

    01. Trim and assembly

    02. Seal for resin coating

    03. Apply rigid foam and resin interior

    04. Smooth resin surface (sanding)

    05. Prime and paint helmet interior

    06. Prime & paint exterior (1st Coat)

    07. Wet sand exterior paint

    08. Prime & paint exterior (2nd Coat)

    09. Wet sand & Clear Coat (1st Coat)

    10. Wet sand & Polish Clear Coat

    11. Hand paint details

    12. Install trim, lens, straps, foam padding

    13. Prep for shipping

  10. ATA Helmet Build

    Very nice Jesse, is the ATA helmet easier to put together than an RS props kit.

     

    Maybe ... only because the plastic is much thicker.

     

    What do you charge? I've got an ATA ABS helmet sitting on my workbench that doesn't want to put itself together. I thought they self-assembled. :smiley-sw013:

     

    Depends on what you want done to it ... But this projects cost $150 + S&H. That includes the cost for supplies (Rigid foam, resin coat, paints, padding, straps). He supplied the kit any additional upgrades would have to be purchased and supplied to me.

    One thing I find interesting is that he has a shot of a guy wearing a suit by one maker, then a full un-trimmed kit that is made by someone else. then a 3rd photo of a finished kit that is again, by a different maker. You have three different helmets featured on that listing alone. Just seems fishy to me.

    There just a lot of scammers on there. Stick to the forums and ask around. Most of us like Stormtrooper armor too, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding someone to talk to about this stuff. ;) Have fun!
