Mogwai[TK] Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hi there, I just finished my ATA Helmet, I received 10 Days ago. Everything on it is Handpaintet and I hope, I did everything right. As I am new to this, I used Pandatroopers ATA Assembling Guide to build and paint it. Last thing I need to do is painting the Ear-Screws with White Paint. Please give me some (hopefully good ) Feedback, so I am motivated to start with the Armor. Thanks from Germany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Your left ear (when wearing the helmet) looks like it has too much plastic left on it, but otherwise I think you've done a really great job on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyTrooper[TK] Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Looks great! I too recently finish up an ATA build. For the S seal around the neck of the helmet I used CA glue. As you might have noticed other glues really don't like to hold it down, especially in the area near the front of the cheek tube. With CA glue I just had to add a little under the seal and press down for about 10 seconds with my fingers and it has held solid for me. Oh, and be careful if you do use CA glue - I got a little on my fingernail and it is still there...almost 2 weeks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazmosis[501st] Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Like Mathias said, I would pop off that left ear and take that down a little bit. You have plenty of material left. You did a great job on trimming out the ears so it shouldn't be too difficult. Trimming it will bring the top down a little further so that it sits below the brow trim, and it will sharpen up those wavy edges at the front. Great job on the painting!

Potty Meister Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I'm looking at an ATA kit myself. I think you've done great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
