Haribon72[TK] Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) Hello Everyone! I joined FISD last month (October 2013) and within a couple weeks, I purchased my first build kit - TK Helmet from FISD member "Scootch". I hope my topic here will inspire new troopers and get feedback from the 501st members. I have never done this before however, I'm a facilities worker by day (electrician...HVAC.. handyman.....etc..etc..etc...) so I already had the tools to get start with. I've put in my free time during the weekends to slowly start this project. Edited November 22, 2013 by Haribon72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haribon72[TK] Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) Today, I finished my helmet! Please see below! Let me know your thoughts. I would like to get your feedback. I would definitely get another helmet kit from Scootch. This was a great build because I learned some much details on identifying a helmet.

maxsteele[TK] Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Did you use decals for the traps and tears as well as the tube stripes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locitus[Admin] Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Here's the finished helmet! You should change the last grey teeth to pointy. It should be pointy at both ends and not squared off like yours. I did the same mistake when I was new, but you would want to fix it. It'll only take a minute or so.

Haribon72[TK] Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys! I will get the pointed tips on the frowns this weekend. Great reference pictures on the frowns.

Haribon72[TK] Posted January 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 maxsteele (ron)..Yes, I used the decals that came with the kit. They work great. Someday I will remove them and paint the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haribon72[TK] Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Please let me know if the helmet is done or anything that requires attention. I'd like to meet Centurion requirements on the Helmet now before I continue on with my NE armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The5thHorseman[TK] Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Helmet should be good to go. However i think you could tighten up the bottom screw of the right ear to bring the curve closer to the tube, or maybe even drill a new hole closer to the neck opening.

pandatrooper[TK] Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) I think your tube stripes are a little low. They should be about a pencil width approx. 3/8" away from the cheek valley. Not a requirement for centurion but there was no mesh under the teeth on the originals.
