PajamaTrooper[501st] Posted November 7, 2020 Report Posted November 7, 2020 Hey all! So, since this is an ANH Stunt helmet, I'm posting this here because I can't post images on the MEPD forum for some reason. I wanted to do a Sandtrooper next year, as I finally finished my TIE and got approved a couple months ago. I have this ATA Stunt bucket that I assembled and weathered awhile back, but the right-hand ear worries me. Is it too wonky for basic approval or is it fine? 1 Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 7, 2020 Report Posted November 7, 2020 Does look like it's not quite in the right spot, almost looks like the bottom of the ear has been twisted Quote

I’m a GML and I would allow it with a suggestion to remove some material. As Glen mentioned it’s a bit twisted due to the material pushing outward. Please excuse the wonky illustration but it will give you an idea on how to adjust 1 Quote
Iron TK[TK] Posted November 8, 2020 Report Posted November 8, 2020 As Glen said, the ear looks twisted so I would try boiling water to twist back before trimming material away. Just my two credits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
TheSwede[TK] Posted November 8, 2020 Report Posted November 8, 2020 Absolutely do not boil it!!! It’s pushed outwards due to the extra material. That is why it looks to be twisted, the ear itself is not actually twisted. Quote
Iron TK[TK] Posted November 8, 2020 Report Posted November 8, 2020 Sorry for the suggestion!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted November 8, 2020 Report Posted November 8, 2020 Some great threads on ear trimming and alignment Quote
