  1. I’m back! Starting again after many months with the arms now, got the first one all trimmed up. I know the strips for the arms and bicep are 15mm. I have skinny arms so I just have 7.5 flat joint on each side to make it look nice. It fits without being too tight. Any tips? Also I’m assuming you cover up the top alignment with the cover strip. Is the cover strip rounded or chamfered or just straight. Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. That’s what I was mostly concerned about was the gap. I don’t have one on the right but I will on the left. Was that common with the left side? Or just in general. Is there a way to close that gap? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Rough fitting, looks way off, did I trim it too short? Or mess up the helmet during construction?
  4. I put the first ear on. Im happy with the way it looks! No really big gaps, alignment looks good. What do you guys think?
  5. This is what I have so far. will the screws bring everything together? Did I take off too much? Also don't worry about that low brow, I just push it up lol
  6. I'm finding this very difficult trying to form the ears to the helmet. about how thick do you want the ears on the helmet? Do i want the ear thicker on the front? I'm talking about the disc as well. The circle with the rank bars on it. Its a good thing I was sent 2 pairs
  7. Alright, gonna start on the ears today. I found this interesting video on youtube that seems to make a lot of sense and seems to work for the guy in the video. was wondering if this is a better option than trial and error with a dremel. thanks TK trimming stormtrooper ears with a compass Sorry i couldn't find the BBCODE option you talked about. I also am not sure where to trim the ears to to even start for fitting,like how much do I leave? i sketched it out in pencil where I thought to trim first.
  8. Okay, I did it, it was scary and I was really nervous but I think it turned out well, what do you guys think? Criticism welcome it’s making me send the pictures super compressed so sorry lol
  9. I’m gonna do the ears tomorrow, how does this look? Sorry I feel like I’m being repetitive, just want to get it right
  10. Is that gap okay, bc the ears should cover it, also should I trim the bottom of the helmet before rviteting?
  11. There is a gap, because I’m basically pushing the back cap back to push the “snout” or like the nose forward. When it’s at rest is when it kind of droops down, like my posts before
  12. I’m also a little concerned how far apart the pieces seem to be, like the cap from the inside of the faceplate one the sides doesn’t line up. I know the rivets will pull it together I just don’t want it to go all wonky
  13. Okay, I’m gonna rivet it today, kinda nervous, but this looks good right? I like the lower profile brow, but the front sticks out enough and lines up right?
  14. Here’s a better picture, flash does help a lot, thanks. Website seems to not support super high res pictures so I have to knock down the quality.
  15. Update on teeth. Look better? Do more? Did too much? Kinda ball parking it lol
  16. So it sounds like I have it set up pretty good, I need to go buy some needle files and do the teeth, but I should be able to rivet today, I’ll post an update when that’s done. Thank you everyone for your help
  17. Sorry about the bad pics, and the pictures posting horizontal
