Hero helmet help

[The Phantom[TK]]

Hi all...I am building, well attempting my first TK build.

A bit of back ground...I bought the whole kit - blasters, holster, lenses, armour, gloves, neck seal, the lot all I need to do is build it and get an undersuit - off a garrison member who for personal reasons wasn't able to go on with the build. He asked me if I would build the Hero as that is what he had planned. So staying true to my word I am going to build the TK ANH Hero with the intention of getting EIB.

I have tackled the bucket first and I am taking my time. I have done the bulk trimming and sanding, now I am on the details eyes and teeth.

My questions are:

Eyes - to get the bubble lenses to fit properly and to get as accurate as possible do I need to trim more out. I think I do and I have put a pencil line there, which isn't really visible. I just dont want to take out too much and have it look strange.

Teeth - Do I need to make the holes a bit larger? Do I have the tape in the right place for painting or do I need to take it further down?

I want to make it as accurate as possible not only for myself but also to keep my word to the person I bought the kit from.

If you questions please or if I should try and get some better photos up please let me know.

Any help or tips would be great.

Sorry about all the little links...wouldn't let me add the photos from my computer or the images from photobucket any help on the photo situtation too would be a bonus

Personally, I would suggest working on other parts first. It will get you experienced with all the tools you need, and if you make a small mistake, it will be less noticeable on something like a bicep. If you cut too far on a helmet, it's harder to fix.

 

My questions are:

Yes, I think you need to trim more. Use the pictures from Starwarshelmets.com as reference.

 

Teeth - Do I need to make the holes a bit larger? Do I have the tape in the right place for painting or do I need to take it further down?

 

Your pictures are a little too blurry to make out. Again, use the reference from SWhelmets. There should be no grey on the "lips" of the mouth, only on the teeth themselves.
