Lucky[TK] Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Here's my first attemt at a Helmet build. Just got my ATA helmet kit the other day and this is all I trimmed. It's getting late and I'm a bit timmed so the going will be slow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 ATA is awesome, ears are a pain, just sand little by little, you have two pairs of ears just in case lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogwai[TK] Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Great Helmet you got there. Ears are a pain, you need a lot of patience with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coffintanker Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 That's a great kit! Ask questions, post pictures and have fun with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky[TK] Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm not to sure how much to trim off the bottom of the front part of the helmet. How close is the neck trim supposed to seat to the front? I can't find any pictures of the bottom of the helmet. Can someone point me at some pictures of how the neck seal is supposed to seat?

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Here is a post from Rogue Trooper which may be helpful: The original lid openings where somewhat oval-ish and you needed to turn you head or bucket to put it on. Archive pic of an original TK lid. More archived pix here: http://www.whitearmo...eferenceGallery Also pandatrooper has a great lid build thread here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky[TK] Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) That was the picture I was looking for! I am using pandatroopers build as a guide, but in his he never actually shows the bottom like the picture you gave me. Thanks!

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Looking good, here's mine for a comparison My helmet thread is here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky[TK] Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) Both eyes out and I knocked a tooth out. I was going to do more but that damn sleep is getting to me. In pandatroopers tutorial he has rounded teeth. But most others seem to have squared teeth. Does it make a difference or is it personal choice? And thanks for the link to your build!

gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Square teeth look so much better, gives a crisper look, most go for the square look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky[TK] Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I, for some reason, am having a terrible time trying to square this tooth. How is it looking so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky[TK] Posted November 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 So, I have not posted for a very long time! But, I have everything for my helmet nearly done (I got a bit side tracked) and I was thinking of weahtering it to make it a sandtrooper helmet. Is a sandtrooper helmet just a stunt that has been weathered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuteman Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 And it also misses the black stripes in the tear and trap sections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky[TK] Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I just realized I neglected this thread! I finished the helmet and I dirtied it up. I decided to just make this helmet for display. I am making AP armor for joining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaySavesTheDay Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Cool TD! Definitely one of the more weathered ones I've seen and I dig it! I wanted to do a TD as well, but think I'm going TK first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
