Sgt JB Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 I'm starting to get very jealous of all these ATA build threads..... Quote
Runnriottt Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Posted July 27, 2009 Think of it as doing you r homework. Quote
Sgt JB Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 I'm going nuts..... I can't wait....can't wait!!!!! I feel like a little kid, I'm going to break the f5 key on my keyboard checking my email. lol Quote
Darth_Finger Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 What do you think of the helmet so far? Quote
runewolf Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 What does ATA stand for? Affordable Trooper Armor Quote
Sgt JB Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 should also stand for 'awesome trooper armor' from the pics I've seen, and all the good things I've herd from people. Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted July 27, 2009 Report Posted July 27, 2009 Nice 1 Nate, what flavour is this going to be, ANH or ESB? Quote
Runnriottt Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Posted July 28, 2009 What do you think of the helmet so far? Love the face.Sharp pull, no weak spots. Dome is a tad soft, but all in this line are a tad soft. Well formed though. I love that there are full 5 teeth. Man. That is a sharp feature. No complaints at all. Will assemble and troop just fine... Nice 1 Nate, what flavour is this going to be, ANH or ESB? ANH for this one. I am planning on doing a tutorial on the Japanese Garrison boards with it. So, ANH stunt. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Sweet! Looking forward to your build. I just finished my ATA helmet a few weeks ago. I went with the ANH Hero look. Quote
Verne Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 ThayNerd, it's a damn good and nice looking helmet you've done!! Quote
Runnriottt Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Posted July 28, 2009 Now.. I tried to go slow. But in about 2 hours I got this far. Took the low brow look. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted July 28, 2009 Report Posted July 28, 2009 Thanks for the nice comments Fabien. Looking good so far Nathan, can wait to see it finished! Quote
Sgt JB Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 I'm building mine now, how did you hold the two pieces in place while you drilled your holes? I can get it lined up perfectly like I want, but that takes 2 hands. I was thinking of using a little e6000 under the brow on the 'forehead' of the faceplate under the dome and just hold it there till it's secure, then going about my drilling and screwing. but I'm interested in seeing how you guys do it. Thanks. Quote
Random1156 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Clamps and/or painters tape works really well with any helmet build... Quote
Sgt JB Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Clamp cracked my eye hole made me almost cry... but it's all better now Quote
Runnriottt Posted August 7, 2009 Author Report Posted August 7, 2009 I free handed. Not recommended though. Good strong tape is another good way to do that. Updates tomorrow! WHoo HooOOo! Quote
redcommando2 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Sweet Sweetness! I have one on its way. I have never built one... meaning a TK lid. John Sweet! Looking forward to your build. I just finished my ATA helmet a few weeks ago. I went with the ANH Hero look. Quote
ThayNerd[TK] Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Sweet Sweetness! I have one on its way. I have never built one... meaning a TK lid. John Thanks for the nice comments. This one was my fifth helmet so I have had a little experience. You are going to have so much fun assembling it. Quote
firebladejedi[TK] Posted August 7, 2009 Report Posted August 7, 2009 Sweet! Looking forward to your build. I just finished my ATA helmet a few weeks ago. I went with the ANH Hero look. Hey Thayne you did a relly great job here. I was suprised by the way you went hero because of all the teeth visible on the ATA but it looks totally awesome Now.. I tried to go slow. But in about 2 hours I got this far. Took the low brow look. Nate your build looks great. These kits almost build themselves, i tried to take mine slowly and it also took about 2 hours. Great work buddy Quote
