Duncs[TK] Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi everyone. Just recieved my ATA kit and im very impressed. Nice and sharp. Thats beside the back of the helmet.. Im no stranger to building TK kits but this is the first time ive had/ seen a ATA one. my question is is the back/dome of the helmet sopose to be so bumpy? I do understand the orginals had the imperfections but for some reason i look at mine and feel its quite "excessive"? I can get pics up soon but if somone knows more please id like to know Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MClass Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 My ATA was also bumpy. It's normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 It is supposed to be that way!!! Because of the thicker ABS, the texture is actually softer than helmets pulled in thinner styrene. Those were really bumpy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were really bumpy. This precisely. Go check out how the RS Propmasters buckets look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locitus[Admin] Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Yes, that's normal for accurate helmets. That's how the originals are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK Keith[TK] Posted April 26, 2012 Report Share Posted April 26, 2012 My ATA armor is being made right now... I cant wait to get it and start the build, although I am nervous about building the helmet. It's good to know what to expect though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
