JimmyFilth Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Ok, so my ATA shadow stormtrooper helmet arrived this morning so I've fitted the parts initially. Now going to take them apart so I can fit the internal electrics (I have a mic and wireless transmitter, plus the fans). Here it is at the minute, with the first layer of silver in the frown and the Matt black on the vocoder. Quick question, are the hovi-mics all black or do I leave the lip and internals white? I feel like all black is the way to go. Also, should they be Matt or gloss black?? Final question, do I still plaint the vent marks in the traps in black or just completely leave the traps unpainted? Here is my first helmet completely finished. Link to comment

chwillis[501st] Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Cant wait for my ATA kit.. Link to comment
JimmyFilth Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm just a complete amateur, in fact these pics show every experience I have ever had with ATA, in fact, any storm trooper kit but I have found the kits really good to work with and so happy with the results. I'm sure experienced members could pick a load of faults, but they'll lie with my build and not the kit! Haha Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The frame of the mic tips are black (I like matte, personally). The screen can be silver or black. Again, I like black. 1 Link to comment

JimmyFilth Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Finished the two... I now have a bike scout suit on order as plan to do an outside canon camouflage scout. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Why outside cannon? Don't want to do the appovable kashyyyk trooper? Link to comment
JimmyFilth Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm just going to do it for a bit of fun, I'm not a fan of the helmet for the kashyyk trooper. I'm going to vinyl wrap the plastic parts so I can peel it off and go for normal bike scout trooper and get approval after. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM] Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Ya, I have a buddy that has one and it was a bit of pain all around, but it looks pretty cool when done. I am sure the non-cannon version you are working on will look the part. Looking forward to seeing it. Link to comment
JimmyFilth Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 The parts will be with me in a month, fingers crossed it works out. Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
