Lasse Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Moving along, moving along... At last I have started my armour build - with two kids and a new old house AND my astromech project it´s hard to find the time. Luckily cutting ABS with a pair of scissors is a lot more couch-friendly (and thus GF friendly) than droid building Here´s a pic of my helmet- - what do you think of the brow height?

FIVE Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Looks AWESOME bro!!! Great (perfect?) height on the brow — and I'm an expert on this bucket if I do say so myself. Keep it up! And keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasse Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks guys!! A Bluey-approved Move Along brow is a great start! I've just started with the ears...bah... How big can the gaps be for it to pass? I guess I could fill them since I'm going to weather the helmet, but would much rather do it right. Any tips on how to do so from you maestros?

FIVE Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Don't fill the ear gaps!!! Why does everyone want to do that? They can be pretty big. It's better / more accurate to have the gaps... Check it out. See the gaps? You're doing great!! Just keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasse Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yeah, I noticed the gaps are quite large - especially the right ear! The pic you posted - wheres that from? I'm curious about the yellow arrows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconoclasta_88 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Nice bucket!! My favorite bucket is the move along, and it is probably the most studied version in the Stormtrooper world! Getting it right looks easy, but it is not. And so far, yours looks great! Can you share a frontal shot so we can see the side gap, you did leave it right? Looking really good!

Lasse Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 I left it indeed - perhaps not enough for SWAT (easy fix), but I've probably bodged it for SWAT by making the eye holes a bit too clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasse Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 I got the hard hat liner from trooperbay - anyone got any good tips on how to glue it in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgrace Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 there is a great video at trooperbay explainig how exactly to install the hard hat liner. I used his method on my DZ and it worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasse Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks mate! Not the fastest progress in history - family and house refit eats most of my time nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lasse Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 SO... I've been afk from my TD because of toddlers and all my available building time going towards my astromech build. Now I'm back! Have a goal of having the armour assembled for FCBD, and have ordered e backpack from Rick. Helmet is finally hand painted and I have started gluing shins, thighs etc. Fingers crossed I'll be able to finish it this time around, haha Helmet this morning - This is not the breakfast we're looking for...

Clue Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Looks good so far...I watched Mikes tutorial on how to install the hardhat liner and he basically took the inner tabs from the hardhat and glued them in place once he had figured where to place the liner. Lots of resources here to help with your build. Looking forward to seeing your Move Along! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
