Jaren[TK] Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Posted August 25, 2014 Cut my thumb pretty deep with a exacto knife. You know when you have problems is when: you are more worried about getting blood on your armor than your health! LOL (typing with one hand) LOL Quote
I'm Batman[501st] Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 iPad! Blood will just wipe straight off Quote
Stormy1992 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 i sliced my thumb open too. i think everyone does once in there build haha! the sniper plate was tricky but after being done it wasnt too hard. just line up the groves and glue. i didnt use rivets. hopes this helps! Quote
Stormy1992 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Posted August 27, 2014 also when you go to put on your knee ammo pack.. just be careful when lining them up. like this: I was told to go a little higher than this so bend it up to cover the split (if you have one) if not youre okay just wanted to show how far back it goes on both sides. the cuts look great on your build though Quote
toybiz[TK] Posted August 28, 2014 Report Posted August 28, 2014 Nice build! Brings back some memories... Jut take your time and like learning to ride a bicycle...you never forget once you figure it out. Most of all keep having fun! Adam Quote
Jaren[TK] Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Posted August 29, 2014 Thank you for the picks! Those really help. I hope to get more done this weekend. Quote

Jaren[TK] Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Posted August 30, 2014 Started cutting my eyes and teeth Quote
Jaren[TK] Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Posted August 30, 2014 How deep should the eyes go? Still need to fix the teeth. Quote
Stormy1992 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I had the same question with the depth in my eyes also.. its hard to say.. if there is any to what seems to be line then cut it if not then dont make it too close to the edge of the eye it looks pretty good from here.. ill find a pic for you. this is the closest one that i could find.. in the right eye (waht youre seeing to your left) the very inside of the eye is probably 5-10mm deep. and on the other eye on the outerside of the helmet is 10mm or so deep too. just try to see from this image depth. every helmet is different but you should be able to tell The helmet builds are the hardest part but most fun and challenging. good luck and take your time ESPECIALLY with the ears...

Jaren[TK] Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Posted September 7, 2014 (edited) My build will be on hold for a little while. I just had a death in the family (Grandparent). I will get back to it as soon as possible. Edited September 7, 2014 by Jaren Quote
Stormy1992 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Posted September 7, 2014 Sorry to hear brother:( build to keep your mind off things? You'll be alright. Sorry for your loss though Quote
toybiz[TK] Posted September 8, 2014 Report Posted September 8, 2014 Sorry for your loss Jaren. Take care of your family first, we will all be here when you are ready. I'm sure your grandparent would want you to finish anything that made you happy! Adam Quote
Jaren[TK] Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) Thank you guys. I took your advice Kyle and Adam. I started back up again during my free time to help keep my mind busy. Thank you again everyone for the support. Edited September 11, 2014 by Jaren Quote
Jaren[TK] Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 I do have a ear question if you guys could help? What measurement did you use for the round part of the ears? I just want a guide for how much to trim off? Thank you. Quote
starsaber25[Admin] Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Hey Jaren I just got caught up on your build. I am very sorry for your loss and I hope that everything has been going as well as it can for you during this tough time. I looks like you are starting to move along again I see. I wish I could help you with your ear measurement. Good luck in your continuation and I can atleast maybe help out with your armor. Quote
toybiz[TK] Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 I do have a ear question if you guys could help? What measurement did you use for the round part of the ears? I just want a guide for how much to trim off? Thank you. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/27375-howto-draw-an-approximate-ear-trim-line-with-no-gaps/?hl=%2Bear+%2Btrimming#entry355019 I wish I saw this post regarding ear trimming when I did mine! I invested almost 5 hours on them! Quote
Jaren[TK] Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Posted September 13, 2014 Thanks Adam! that is exactly the post I needed to start my ears. Thanks again Quote
Stormy1992 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Posted September 21, 2014 Good luck! Ears are tricky! Trim a little til you get what you want. If you take a large chunk out you can't put it back Quote
