gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 8, 2012 Report Posted August 8, 2012 While waiting for my blaster to dry I decided to take the plunge and start trimming my helemt. Think most people are worried about cutting their helmet the first time around. Think it is going ok so far just needs a bit more finishing sanding on the ears Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Posted August 9, 2012 OMG I hate ears, sooooooooooo much sanding just to get them sitting roughly flush. Cut my visor, made a piece of double metal mesh, thick and dark, also glued a few pieces inside to mount the visor. Quote
RedSpecial[TK] Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Thats lookin great Glen Don't worry too much about getting the ears perfectly flush, the originals weren't anyway. Edited August 9, 2012 by RedSpecial Quote
Mogwai[TK] Posted August 9, 2012 Report Posted August 9, 2012 I think, you could trim the right Ear, when you look at the front of the Helmet, a little bit more. Compared to the other Ear, it looks a little big thicker. Otherwise, your Helmet looks nice so far! Great work. Can`t wait to see the paint. Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Posted August 9, 2012 thank you all, helmet was a little to ones side, checked ears they seem the same thickness Quote

Mogwai[TK] Posted August 26, 2012 Report Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) You did a Great Job on the painting so far, why do you not want to paint the decals too? It isn't so Hard to do. Edited August 26, 2012 by Mogwai Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Posted August 28, 2012 Don't have very steady hands for the fine black lines You did a Great Job on the painting so far, why do you not want to paint the decals too? It isn't so Hard to do. Quote

Potty Meister Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 looking good man. still need to get some electronic stuff for mine. don't worry about any of the little imperfections. the wow factor from anyone seeing this will be way beyond what imperfections may or may not be noticed. Quote
