StriderNor Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 When I first got the armor I was overwhelmed. now that I've started, the nerves are settling down, and the excitement is rising! a lot of the items I need are on order. Mostly I just have the armor, and a thousand questions all the time. I hope me doing this build thread will help answer a lot of the questions. First off I'm starting with the helmet to get it out of the way for now. Still need several items like the mic tips to come in to finish it completely. I spent several hours yesterday to file the ears to fit. here is the progress so far. just a small gap left. Would I continue to file this until the gap is gone, or am I at the point of doing something else to correct the rest? here is a further from the front and then the back. With the front picture, I' m not sure how to fix the lip at the bottom of the ear. Thank you for any and all feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The5thHorseman[TK] Posted September 26, 2015 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 I say stop right there with your ears. They look damn fine. All the original helmets had gaps around the ears, and by trying to close them you may end up doing more harm than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshots Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Should he glue down the bottom of the ear if it isn't sitting flat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS80 Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 gaps are normal, actually when I see helmets with almost no gaps its a complete turn off and not movie accurate. Mark (AP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The5thHorseman[TK] Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 Should he glue down the bottom of the ear if it isn't sitting flat? Nop. No glue at all should be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie TK Head Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 You should glue ears if you make rotj helmet, but obviously you don't so use screws only( 3 for stunt) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
