    Hey, just started my first set of armor. I just finished the smooth recon helmet and it looks a lil off center and such. Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks!

    It would really help to get a picture and maybe to know what kind of glue your using. Not much we can do without a picture.

      TJ is right there. And honestly, I think its just the design of the helmet, at least in the pep stage the way its shaped it doesn't like to sit right. When I first was working on mine and it was in the pep stage it drooped to one side as do a lot of others I noticed who are working with the file. Of course it might be this or something else, but like TJ said its hard to say with out a picture and/or knowing what type of glue you're using such as hot glue, super glue, or Elmers.

          Ok yeah it's most likely just because of the file. I'm using hot glue right now as well and I have no problems with it but we'll see with the picture.

                It looks alright to me, doesn't really seem too much off center. Lol I was just gonna mention about the blank picture, but you fixed it just as I posted lol. Can't wait to see more.
