Here’s the results! Definitely a lot better.

After looking at ukswrath’s build I think I’m gonna cut the sides down to 7.5mm. I should still have plenty of room for my wrist.

Thank you gmrhodes13 for the measurements and guides! I ended up cutting to 1/2 an inch for the sides. Here’s how they look, you can see me lining my 15mm cover strip up in the last photo. There’s still some of that side edge sticking out. Would that be acceptable or do I need to trim some more so my strip covers it? I can get my wrist inside comfortably as is, it’s snug at the ends towards my bicep.

Hi Everyone! After COVID, life, and moving across states i'm finally at a point to continue working on my armor. I'm currently finishing where i left off trimming, starting with the forearms and up to the shoulder bells. Right off the back i noticed there's a lack of mold lines for trimming the sides where the cover strips will go. Is there a good rule of thumb for how much i can trim? I plan on starting with cutting at 5/16 an inch since the cover strips will be 5/8 and taking photos for ya'll. Here's what i have so far, trimmed all the way to the return edges since i'm shooting for centurion.

It looks like I cut it too high, the trap looks too small. I might have to get a new helmet :/ Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Hey y'all hope you all had a happy halloween! My stencils came in the mail this week so I can start painting my helmet. One thing I noticed while holding my helmet together is this indented line from the molding on the brow. Do I still need to trim the brow then? I'll also be painting the hovi mics and vocoder tonight. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Will a smaller plate be a problem? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Problem: I was following the indents and when i checked photos i freaked out. My edges are curved instead of flat. Is there any way i can save this? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I wanna start painting before I put the whole thing together. Would it be possible to print out a tube stripe stencil? Also I can't seem to find a post about the ata TD, I wanna make sure I cut it to the same length. Do y'all know one? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk It should be 7 1/2 inch. I think

Now the eyes look much better Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Do I need to do more to the eyes? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Hey guys, I've finished trimming the helmet parts. Next thing to do is adding the screws. I also need to clean up the eyes some more. If there's anything you see I still need to do before I make holes please let me know! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Oh! i also need to sand all the edges lol

Also popped out the eyes Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Finished the teeth!! Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

I'm currently using a small half round file Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Also I'll be heading to home depot tomorrow. Anyone have the dimensions for the TD pipe? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Hey guys. So I got some time to work on the teeth. Do you have any tips about smoothing the holes out? I'm too scared to continue without y'alls opinions. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Here's the teeth so far Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

Forgot the other piece Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

So I started trimming today. I'm unclear where I should trim on the helmet. I'm also cleaning up the ears. I'll cut it out more when i get to screwing the whole thing together. I'll also be dremeling on the teeth tonight, I'll post a pic once I'm done. Also, should I trim the top of the face piece? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

It's finally here! BBB day! Everything seems to be in perfect condition. I still need to get the grey PVC for my TD. I'm thinking of starting with the helmet and then moving on to the rest.
