timecyspace Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Posted October 21, 2019 I wanna start painting before I put the whole thing together. Would it be possible to print out a tube stripe stencil? Also I can't seem to find a post about the ata TD, I wanna make sure I cut it to the same length. Do y'all know one? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk It should be 7 1/2 inch. I think Quote

Until then you can but the stencil on Trooperbay.com. Here's my old ATA build, about half way down has specs on the TD if you're interested. Quote

timecyspace Posted November 2, 2019 Author Report Posted November 2, 2019 Hey y'all hope you all had a happy halloween! My stencils came in the mail this week so I can start painting my helmet. One thing I noticed while holding my helmet together is this indented line from the molding on the brow. Do I still need to trim the brow then? I'll also be painting the hovi mics and vocoder tonight.Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 2, 2019 Report Posted November 2, 2019 Here's a great ATA helmet build thread to reference Quote
timecyspace Posted November 2, 2019 Author Report Posted November 2, 2019 It looks like I cut it too high, the trap looks too small. I might have to get a new helmet :/ Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 2, 2019 Report Posted November 2, 2019 It does look to be angling upwards at the front, I would suggest try gluing a strip of plastic behind, just a little narrower than your brow trim, the trim will cover the cut line and won't be seen, could be an easy fix so don't panic just yet Quote
