Just curious also. I am looking at a couple of helmet examples for stunts, and from your guys' perspective, should i trim the ears a little further? Also is the placement of the ears fine so far, or should i do some more adjustment to it?

** Another Update ** Whew took me awhile to set aside some time and install the ear pieces. Imho, that was the more difficult ones to to fit >.> This is what they look like now Head - Front - 1 Head - Side - 1 Head - Side - 2 Head - Back - 1 Ill be honest, I feel like I still need to try to fit the ear pieces properly since it shows how "ooof" they are in the back. I'm still pondering how I can get around fitting the back ear pieces properly...

Finally got me a set of rare earth magnets. Should suffice to give me a brief idea of how the helm will look when I put the face and cap together. Face - Front -1 Face - Side - 1 (Note: the Brow area still needs to be even out a bit so I am still working on some trimming.) Face - Side - 2 My only dilemma is trying to figure out if I can still wear my prescription glasses underneath the helm.

So here’s a close up view of the eyes https://i.imgur.com/Lxbe3P7.jpg Eyes-front https://i.imgur.com/hstjuOQ.jpg Eyes-right https://i.imgur.com/SdaFgHP.jpg Eyes left I feel the right eye is too rounded .... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

sounds good. I'm just evening out the edges so the rubber trim will fit properly though. Just using a 220 grit sandpaper though. I'm still bummed out that I messed up on the eye area though. The eye on the left side looks more rounded compared to the other eye, which has more of a sharper looking corner.... Not too sure if that's still viable for having a "rounder" eye look.....

Hi guys! Thanks for the insights! I'm still waiting for my earth magnets to arrive by next week so I can put the helmet together and give me a brief visual on how I should positioned it. In the meantime, I just did some brief trimming on the face area, particularly the eyes, frown, and bottom. So far here is my progress: Face - Front -Trim 1 Face - Front -Trim 2 Face - Front -Trim 3 Face - Front -Trim 4 Face - Front -Trim 5 Face - Front Trim - 6 Still a work of progress, though I feel like the eye area is what I am concern the most about, because I have a bad feeling probably messed up that part... I was using a 120 grit dremmel, though still trying to find something a bit higher. The frown will still need some more refinement, gonna use the file for that. As for the bottom area, ill just have to sand it. Any suggestions or feedback so far with this progress?

So update so far on my progress with my helmet trimming. I had to mark a couple of things on the face areas before I cut it. Just wanted some feedback if the line placements are sufficient enough to trim? I used pandatrooper's post as a guide and reference: Below are the images I've taken for my helmet with the markings: Helm - Side 1 - marked Face - Front 1 -marked Face - Front 2- marked Face - Side 2 - Marked Now for the Cap, I did some trimming at the bottom part and along the side, though I am a bit hesitant on how far along i should cut. I was also looking at ANH Stunt Stormtrooper Helmet and noticed some had the rubber brow lined up to the trapezoid. Before I can cut any further, I took pictures and was wondering for any tips or suggestions so far for this cap Cap - Front 1 Cap - Side 1 Cap - Side 1 - Close up Cap - Side 2 So I have a feeling that either i still need more trimming on the side, or I messed up somewhere so far. And I am planning to sand the bottom a bit and side.

Ah! Makes sense! Thanks for your insight T-Jay! I decided to get matte black enamel spray paint from Tensors and i'll just use that for the interior of the helmet.

Hi guys! Thanks for the support again! One question: I plan to spray the interior of the helmet black similar to how T-Jay did his and I was wondering if you guys would recommend this type of spray to use? https://www.amazon.com/Performix-11203-Multi-Purpose-Coating-Aerosol/dp/B0006SU3QW

Nice! I should get a set from Amazon then. I am also considering painting the inside of the helmet black as well. Similar to how this one is done

Oh right! The Sugru putty! Definitely looks easier to use! lol Thanks for bringing it up! Imma put it on the list. In the future I will consider getting electronics, though they are a bit pricey at the moment so I'll hold off until I can get my kit approved for Centurion status first and still need to get my DLT-19 Heavy blaster. Also I did like how CableGuy did his helmet on the inside. I'll use it as a reference:

Thanks Brave! Hope to see your build soon as well! Lol only thing I forgot to get is the gloss white paint and earth magnets to hold the Face and the Cap in place and for positioning. Also forgot that I need a mesh for the frown. Also need to consider how I am going to position the lenses when the time comes. Yeah that was my bad lol. I forgot to mention what the armor kit was. I'll do my best to not miss the detail when I am posting stuff from now on lol. But I believe your videos is something I will watch for reference. Thanks a bunch!

Hello there! I wanted to get started with forging my ANH armor kit that is the stunt build. The armor kit, btw, is an ATA kit. A bit nervous about this, but excited at the same time. I will start by forging the Helmet first. Below is the set of tools I use. Which includes the following: Heavy Duty Razor Knife - Scissors - A Rotary Kit w/ Dremel Drum attachment 120 grit - Screws and white Hovi Mic Tips that came with the armor kit out of the box. Also got the paint and brushes I needed to touch up on the stripes, frown, and the vocoder. Though I did forget to get the gloss white paint for the screws that holds the ear plates. I'll be sure to get those soon. Humbrol # 85 , Humbrol # 5, Humbrol # 14 , and Humbrol #48 I am a bit hesitant at the part where I need to trim the edges of the helmet though. I took a look at TK1636's video on some guidance on how to trim it: Though my gut instinct tells me, based on the helmet I have, I should cut the excess plastic on the top of the face and underneath the face, while leaving the side untrimmed so I have enough plastic for the ear plates to be screwed in? What are your guys' and gals' thoughts on how I should proceed with the trimming? Thank you for what ever guidance anyone can provide.

When I gotten my BBB, the helmet came with screws and other things. The hovi mic tips will need to be painted black on the outside, but they should be the same color as the vocoder right? Also I took a look into the Praetorian blasters page and just wondering how sturdy are those prop guns btw? Is it hard rubber?

The soft parts I have not gotten yet, unfortunately. My budget for now is more focused on getting the supplies I need to assemble the helmet and armor. As for the blaster, that's a toughie. I wanted to get my hands on the DLT-19 Heavy Blaster rifle, though just finding a kit to purchase locally is a toughie at the moment.
