Fry Hound Posted March 29, 2020 Report Posted March 29, 2020 Hello there! I’m sorry if I’m posting in a wrong area, as I am new to the building process and using the forums. Soo I’ll just jump right in with my question... Just got my helmet kit in a couple days ago, and I’m super excited to work on a cosplay that has been my dream since a kid. I’ve already started by cutting out the eyes, teeth, and bottom trim of the helmet. However, I’m having trouble lining up the front plate to the back plate. I’m not sure how much overlap there should be. Also, when I do attempt to line them correctly, there’s a lot of gapping that won’t stay down. I don’t wanna force (no pun intended) anything, because I’m scared I’ll break the helmet. The ears are also driving me crazy, but that’s another subject haha. To whomever reads this, thank you for your time, and I will definitely appreciate any help given! Have a wonderful Sunday! -Abby (aka clueless potato) Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted March 29, 2020 Report Posted March 29, 2020 Hello and welcome, it is best to have these types of questions by starting a build thread and posting there. There are quite a few build threads of ATA armor and helmets, if you go to the ANH build thread area you will find most have ATA listed in the title of the thread. This thread may help you: Another here: Another here: Quote

Keep on posting photos of your doubts and progress. Cheers Quote
