mailman70 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Hello again everyone, as my anticipation builds, the time is drawing near! Weather permitting, I'm planning an armor party for this coming weekend. If all goes well, I'll be able to submit for approval and with any luck make some of the upcoming 3D release troops. In the mean time, I have been working on my ATA helmet ... I received my ATA helmet kit a couple of weeks ago...It looks amazing, I can't wait to get started.. With the holidays and all the project had to wait a bit. Things have finally quieted down, so here we go! Initial trimming on all pieces done ... Hope I didn't cut too much!? I found a lot of ATA build threads...but I really like PandaTrooper's ATA #1 build thread. Following as closely as I can in his footsteps, here I am with the initial assembly of the front and rear done. You'll also notice that I received my Dave M. decals from Trooperbay!! I'm pretty pleased with my progress so far, ... slow as it's been. Now its's time to fit the ears and I'm freakin out more than just a little. Wish me luck, ... here we go! Well, given my complete lack of experience, I'm very pleased with things thus far. Edited January 23, 2012 by mailman70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 From what I can see your helmet looks great! I am just about to finish mine up. My girlfriend and I are doing everything hand painted so it is taking a little longer, but it was a good way to include her on my project.

Spectre Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Mate, you're going like a pro! Had you not said otherwise I would have thought you'd been building helmets all your life. Great work so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xaoslord Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I'm certainly no expert, but from the pictures, I am most impressed by the fit of the ears. That seems like a difficult thing to get right, but you have done a great job! Edited January 27, 2012 by xaoslord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 You've done an amazing job on it! Personally I feel like the teeth-holes could be more square. Yours look a bit too round. Not really your fault though, I think it's an issue with the mould, as most people do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potty Meister Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Did you fill in the gap between the ears and the helmet itself? Or did you just make it fit that perfectly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
