Locitus[Admin] Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Did you rivet the bottom of the ears? Quote
Smitty Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Posted July 17, 2012 Nope all screws, I can fix it but I gotta get a new set of ears from ATA. Its one of those things where you paint the mona lisa and when you step back and look at the finished product you realize you painted her ears on the wrong side. Quote
PeteK Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 I thought you got 2 sets of ear covers with the ATA kits for trimming and moments like this? Quote
Bushido Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Actually couldn't you just swap the ears? Just looks like you screwed them in the wrong sides. Quote
SCTrooper[TK] Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 OH Man! They actually fit really well for being on the wrong side. I once glued the ab plate panel upside down. Quote
troopermaster Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 This is not surprising to see. I facepalm on almost every thread I read lately Quote
Smitty Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah, its a pair of leftover ears from an ATA kit I put together not long ago. This bucket is a mix and match from parts I've had lying around here and there. They do fit pretty good, its all in the trimming. I've actually considered leaving it as is and continuing the build. I put 2 buckets together today and didn't realize what I had done til I had them sitting side by side. Quote
Smitty Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Posted July 18, 2012 Here he is next to his brother. Facepalm trooper is on the right. Quote
SCTrooper[TK] Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 I really like the ATA helmets, you get alot of bang for your buck.. Quote
bluehickey Posted July 19, 2012 Report Posted July 19, 2012 "Facepalm trooper" I really like that name! Quote
Smitty Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Posted July 19, 2012 The ears on facepalm trooper are ATA, the rest of the bucket parts are from CAP-W. The ATA buckets in ABS are my current top recommendation Quote
Smitty Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Posted July 26, 2012 ATA saves the day! Got my new ears in the mail today in practically record time! Love that guy! Quote
Smitty Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Posted August 17, 2012 Nurturing my Love-Hate relationship with Rustoleum Gloss White Facepalm trooper with his new ears - Thanks ATA! Quote
