Bonded Hawk Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Finally getting the helmet together and was cutting out the template Pandatrooper has floating around and ran into a snag. Its too big for my helmet. I can only get about 13 stripes to show. Do I just use it like it is or do I resize it. I wasnt sure if resizing the tubes would make them too short. Any advise?

inglorious trooper Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 i know it sounds obvious,but cant you bring in your spacings a small bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonded Hawk Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Didnt know if it would crowd the stripes too much. I was hoping to hear if anyone else with an ATA helmet had difficulties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonded Hawk Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Guess I need to read more. I can have a few as nine stripes. 13 it is. Thanks for the replies Inglorious Trooper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Try to reduce the distance between the stripes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 If it's not too much trouble, you should reassemble your helmet so the left side tube is longer than the right side. There is a reason why the number of stripes differ from side to side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonded Hawk Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 I have about 1/2" difference between sides. I can go 13 on left and 14 on right as it is. I really can't open the helmet up anymore. Im at the edge on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inglorious trooper Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 are you going for S.W.A.T. or just basic clearence steve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonded Hawk Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 At one time swat. But the trooper I was trying to copy has very little closeups so Im doing my own thing now. In fact I discovered I like heavy weathering which I know is not SA. I'm trying to make myself back off but I like Pigpen armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
