BlueGrot Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I'm trying to piece my CAP-W together and a struggle is that when the sides of the cap/back is flush to the faceplate, the brow sticks out too much, and when the brow sits nicely, it's impossible to get the sides flush. When I rivet these together, are the sides supposed to be flush, or is there a gap to be covered by the ears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueGrot Posted February 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 It's impossible to get the rivets as close as in those pictures without having the brow being close to move-along-trooper height. Will take pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, don't trim the neck lip area until you have attached both ears. The ear placement will help bridge/hide/mask the neck area of the face plate to the cap & back...
