gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Here's a nice reference, you can see some return edge is left on a lot of places. Always good to check the gallery for reference photos and also other ATA builds, here's a few: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/45654-jezzas-ata-stormtrooper-commision-build/ https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42738-reapers-anh-stunt-build-ata-hopefully-to-centurion-level/?page=1 https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/41644-missingnos-first-kit-build-ata/?page=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLorelei[TK] Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 I figured out my kidney orientation based on the methods previously suggested (especially how it meets up with the ab) and immediately penciled in "up ^" before I started any shaping. I can't tell you how many times I've searched for that little pencil mark. Once you figure it out, mark it, even if it's just with a piece of blue tape! I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to not having enough return edge for the bracket system. I think snaps and elastic/webbing will be just fine regardless. I was hoping to set in ornamental screw heads a la bracket system, but will likely only get to do that on the chest. And yeah, no notches in ATA! I will likely put them in (and reinforce the corner) once I get my ab/kidney connection sorted (soon!). Anyway, looking good! Glad you got more advice on return edges. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
