  1. Any advice on trim lines for the base please? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Well with the snow today I finally managed to finish putting the second ear on. Pics attached. Just trimming the bottom. Then painting. Any thoughts on if I need to take more off the ears? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Bless you’re all too kind. [emoji3526] appreciate the kind words Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Got one ear sorted which I’m happy with ( the right ) The left is proving more tricky. Can someone else give me some points on how to get rid of the gap I have an arrow pointed to in the green please. Below is the ‘good’ ear. I may take it off and trim a little more. Especially around the circular part. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Right been checking tutorials on ears etc. Can I just triple check I’m doing this right. Been living up the ears, marking and taking off little by little. Trying to go for a really nice clean fit with no gaps. Any pointers on what bits to take off just so I know I’m doing this right Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Ok pics attached. Hoping to try and get the helmet/ears sorted by the weekend. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Ok great, I’ll drill out the bottom rivet and see how it sits whilst lining the ear up. Thanks guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Thanks for the words of encouragement guys. It’s surprising how nerve wracking it can be. I’ve learned to walk away if things get too intense haha and come back another day. If it makes sense the reason the gap seems to large on the front is the join of the two lid pieces seems to stick out somewhat ( hopefully I’ve described it correctly- pic below ) I wondered whether this would stop the ear sitting closer? I understand there may be some gaps but I’am quite a perfectionist. I’m aiming for centurion from the offset so happy to take a little more time over pieces. Again thanks for the patience. I’m sure I’m asking questions everyone has asked before so most of you will be repeating yourselves....it’s appreciated a lot though I can tell you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Hi dan thanks for the pic. Have lined up the screw holes with the trap as indicated in the pic you attached. Can I just check with you guys. I’ve stencilled roughly around the ears so I know the position. It has to be in. Can I just check where I need to trim the ears to get it flush. On the front side the gap is huge because of how the two pieces of the lid came together. Worried this won’t pull together when I get around to screwing. Appreciate any indication ( if someone could draw on my pics ) just so I have an idea of what area I need to work on. Thanks again guys. Really appreciate the help The back isn’t looking too bad up the top The gap in the above and below pic concerns me somewhat. But I’am a novice so I don’t know if this is normal? Following people’s own builds I haven’t come across this before? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Thanks for that pic. Hoping to get the ears sorted today. Watch this space haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Hey all can I have some guidance please, About to rivet the bottom part of the face pieces together. I’ve roughly cut out my ears but realise how much easier it will be and much more accurate of the two pieces are joined together. When trying to figure out where to rivet so I don’t get in the way of the bottom ear screw, whilst lining the ear up I seem to have encountered a problem. It seems the ear will be at too much an angle to what it should be. If I put it more straight there is a gap on the back part of the lid as you can see in the below pic Can anyone tell me if I’m doing something simple wrong please. Or have I buggered it up? If anyone can roughly show where I should put the rivet on the bottom please I’d appreciate it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Not glued the brow?! Is this something people do? I was going to hand paint everything once completed. Just need to tackle the ears which are scary to commence Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Right I’ve chucked some rivets in. I know from vids etc that on the RS helmet you can add a second river underneath. Is this worth doing to get a tighter snug fit? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Hi all, after a massive break due to many personal reasons ( yes bad sh*t ) does come in 3’s. I’m back and ready to crack on with my armour. Hoping to get my helmet finished today and a start on the biceps at least. So pleased to see RS have uploaded videos on ‘how to build their armour’ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Hi before I go any further the lids right eye I just need some advice. How much more do I need to take off? Perhaps I’ve been working on it too long? Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Anyone tell me if I’m on the right direction with my trim lines Cheers Also this is how it came cut from RS, other people’s threads I’ve check theirs seem to have more meat on...maybe I’m just worrying? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Right I became Impatient waiting for the dremel battery to fully charge so had a little go with it ( first time using a dremel ) Surprisingly easy once got over the ‘oh god going to cut the lid in half’ You can see by the below pic I was very cautious....almost like bambi on ice!! Plucked up the courage and after referencing back to other people’s lids I changed heads and had another go After Stephens advice and getting a little diamond filing kit the teeth are coming on a treat. And here I came to the end of today’s work (that and I am just getting over the flu so hot/cold sweats are still happening) . With regards to the eyes how much more can I take it back? I’m terrified of ‘slipping’ and nicking into the lid. Oh and I decided to start on the lid...why? As once complete it will act as motivation and will sit proudly on my workbench whilst I build the armour. Now I am a perfectionist so may go a lot slower than the normal person but I aim for centurion from the off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Hey all, December was a crazy month for me and I’ve only just got around to finally starting on my project. Still been researching when I can though. Unpacked the lid today I did notice this rough cut on the top piece and was wondering if this will cause issues? Or will it be covered by the brow? Typical I go to cut out the eyes and my dremel’s battery is flat. I’ve marked out the eyes with pencil, just wondering on your thoughts? I know I’ve probably left a lot but I’d rather sand them down then take a chunk out straight away. I plan to try and document my build as in depth as possible. As a newbie having to research countless threads and seeing the pictures etc it’s a daunting aspect. I may make mistake along the way but I’d rather ask twice and cut once. Gwithian ( Stephen ) has been a massive help and going through his thread really helped as well as other people. So appreciate all those I have spoken with.

  19. A video of your next doopys build would be a massive hit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. Well done Stephen. [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Jacks RS Prop Masters ANH WIP Well after weeks of researching, talking and checking build threads BBB day finally came.!!!! Yes Christmas has come early. Received my kit from RS props today. Can’t believe it’s finally here. Ever since I was a wee lad I dreamed of one day owning my own Stormtrooper suit and it looks like I’m one step closer to achieving this. Just a quick thanks to everyone I’ve spoken to on this forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Its sad to read so many comments about how poor their customer service is. As a result of the delay times and just the lack of communications they lost out on me being a customer. I wonder how many more people have been put off and take their hard earned cash elsewhere. In this day and age I'm surprised they can still get away with it. Would be very interesting to hear from someone from behind the scenes at Anovos. I predict its utter chaos with no one having a scooby doo whats going on.
  23. Sorry to jump on this thread. Just wondering If you/ or anyone else have some detailed image of inside your helmets so us newbies can get an idea of setup/positioning please
