LTM[TK] Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Welcome and great news on the BBB! Start a build thread ASAP, plenty of help that way and you can look at specific information on the AM builds (each vendor has their own set of tweaks in their kits).

MaskedVengeance[Staff] Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Exciting! Making quick work of that bucket. I can’t quite tell from this angle, but are your screws countersunk into the ears? They’ll need to be flush with the surface of the ears for higher level approval. Keep up the good work!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Nice start, Alan! If I could make a few suggestions at this point, they would be: 1. The ear is sitting pretty far forward and should be moved back, and the bottom angled back just a tad. Ideally the center of the top should be centered with the back line of the rear trap above it... the screws should follow that line as well. It shouldn't be too difficult to do, especially if you have the cap and faceplate attached underneath. Nice trimming on those ears!! 2. The brow should extend a bit farther to where it ends at the rear of the trap (or very close). See above photos. Don't worry (honestly) about getting everything perfect the first time. It's a learning curve each and every one of us went through, but I would suggest posting up pics before gluing or permanently attaching anything. That way, if there are issues we can head em' off beforehand! I am following this thread, so keep up the great work!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog 20/20 Posted December 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 So after I move it back I can just rotate where it's attached and may have holes that need covers up. So just use tape to find placement first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTM[TK] Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 I cant use my phone to post from imgur, have to use my computer (so I feel your pain). That being said, take the time and post the pics of the front/ sides/ back before you make any changes. I had the same exact issue on my bucket, made the change and it actually fit better on my head. Here are some threads to help with AM builds: My thread, at the end you can see the bucket issue AJ has a great build, highly recommend you go through it before any more building. Ask questions, but use photos from yours or others builds so we know exactly what help you need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog 20/20 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) How does the alignment with the trap on the right side. It looks like I will have to trim quite a bit off to make it look good. Edited December 17, 2019 by Mad Dog 20/20 Free up space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog 20/20 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) The brow is probably to low for Stunt? I've been looking at CRL for this and I think it should be ok.

Mad Dog 20/20 Posted December 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Teeth on right side. I wanted to paint one layer to see how much more I needed to file down.

MaskedVengeance[Staff] Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I like the height of your brow; I’m going to be going on the lower end too myself. I think it looks more menacing. Haha.While I’ll let the true pros give the final word, I suspect they’ll say that for upper levels you’ll want to remove some of the paint from the gums (tops and bottoms) around the teeth. I’m still trying to work out myself exactly how I’m going to ensure I don’t overpaint.Also, looking back at your armor laid out, it appears that you have the Sandy hand guards. Did you also get the Sandy knee plate, or the one for a TK?Keep up the great work! You’ll be a trooper before long! I didn’t get a pre-trimmed kit due to financial limitations, so I’m going to have a lot of legwork just to get to the point you’re at!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regular ones are next to the forearms. I got parts for either build. But I'm going for ANH stunt build. I want the menacing look. More Bad @&$ looking. I appreciate your feed back.

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 A bit here wouldn't hurt: Notice how thin the ones in the photos are. A few small gaps are fine (and expected), so no need to have them 100% flush against the helmet in all areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
