OnlineJeff Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Wow - I never though shaping the ears would be so hard...good job to you guys who have perfected this art... I'm about to start assembling, paining, adding padding, etc but want comments on the eyes, ears, and teeth please. I know I need to fine sand the teeth but do I need to take out any more significant plastic? Do I just trim the extra lip that doesn't seem to work on the bottom of the ears where they should curve under the helmet? Should I take a chance and hit that part of the ear with the heat gun and shape it a little better? This is an ATA helmet - I still have some rippled areas on the ears - are they too thick? The left side front of helmet ear actually fits better than shown. I now see that it shifted a little when I took the picture...

DavinFelth Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I think it looks great!! The only thing i would tweak is probably sanding/trimming down the teeth so they look more square but then again thats more of a personal preference. Also until someone else with a lot more experience tells you what to do heres a link to some stuff for the ear gaps if there really bothering you its from trooper bay and its called zap a gap and is specifically for these types of things. http://trooperbay.com/2-ounce-zap-a-gap-ca-glue/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vf2112 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hmm hate to disagree with DF but I think the less square n more jagged the better But as said personal prefference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
