Odontoblaster Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 After years of wishing I finally made the next step to build some armor. I have started with the helmet since the armor has a very long wait list. Here things are after trimming the eyes and frown. Any suggestions here? I still need to trim the brow back a little I think but measure twice and all. Now I moved to the cap. This is where I'm getting hung up. Do I need to extend my cut back further to the edge of the traps? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Jay[TK] Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hi Chris and welcome to the FISD. Here is a link to the ANH Stunt frown reference. Would suggest to enlarge the openings a bit. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/album/36-helmet-frown-a-new-hope-stunt/ Regarding the cut in your cap: just add the brow and you'll see where it ends in the traps. A deeper cut allows the brow to be a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odontoblaster Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the reference pics Tino. I went through and opened things up on the frown a little more. I think it turned out better. I didn't have time to mess around with the brow tonight. I guess my question there is should the brow extend to the far edge of the traps? Thanks again Edited April 30, 2015 by Odontoblaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Jay[TK] Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Good job on the frown! Regarding the brow: Depending on what specific type of stormtrooper you build, you can check the "Photo References - Gallery" (link is on top of this page) for screen shots. On my trooper I did it like this: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28549-fully-finished-anh-stunt-tk-15mm-abs-from-troopermaster-with-some-modifications/ Edited April 29, 2015 by T-Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumanchewie[TK] Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Frown looks better. Making good progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odontoblaster Posted November 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Well after far to long a lay off. It is time to get back to work. So I made to plunge to join the face, cap and back. I would like to get a little feedback on placement before I move on to ears and such. I haven't really trimmed the opening for the neck yet so that I can adapt everything once the ears are done. As things stand now there is no way I can get my head in, but I figure that will come later. Thanks Edited November 10, 2015 by Odontoblaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odontoblaster Posted September 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 After moving and a job change I made it back to my bucket. Exterior work is done (I think). Just need some padding and to trim things internally. Please let me know if I need to make any changes.

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Great work, bit hard to make out some of the details as the images are a little pixelated but looks like a nice job from what I can see, well done 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
