LJJNL's ANH TM Stunt build[*TM]

[LJJNL]

The tools I used so far:

 

(Curved lexan scissor)

And of course sandpaper (normal & fine) to give the trims a nice finish.

Cool. Thanks for the pictures of your tools. Yup... I think I need to acquire one of those types of scissors. Very clean work you're doing! <_<

Come On Come On..........

Thanks for the kind words

Yeah, that scissor is a gift from heaven! One (maybe obvious) tip: (ALWAYS) mark the trim line with some masking tape and cut along side the tape.

That way you'll get an idea of what the cut is going to look like before cutting it, and you'll always get a nice straight cut!

Yes, that waiting list is pure pain (but it's worth it!)

Hey Troopers,

 

I'm trying to align the plates.. Any comments, advice or tips? I think it looks ok this way, but will the ears cover the gaps on the side?

 

And what do you guys think about the brow, should it be lower? (The brow ends need to be aligned a bit better)

I'd trim the brow a bit higher and raise the faceplate, you want the top of the eyes to be aligned with the crease on cap/back. Raising the faceplate can lead to a smaller-looking helmet, keep that in mind and relate that to your physical structure, I think that half a centimeter in the helmet assembly can change the overall look a bit.

 

After looking at so many helmets I think that following these ideal lines leads to a nice and balanced assembly.

(This is my TM helmet after 3 reassembly)

 

 

You're doing a great and neat job!!!
