Brother_Dan'l Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I've destroyed a dozen of so pads, cut myself twice and even managed to destroy a couple of PA torso but I still can't get the stupid thing to look even and clean. How is it done? And please... Use the same sort of language you'd use when training an extremely dumb labrador. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefireinferno Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Can't help you with a PA one but if you need to find out how to do a TDA hood track me down I found a uber way of doing so ;). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendestiny Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 My DIY chapter won't use the evil warlocks so I have never had this trouble. Best of luck. Even a dumb lab is smarter than most other dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durus Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 It helps to draw a line where you intend to cut. This way you have a point of reference of when to cut more carfully and to get the symmetry down. You should also give some though to the angle you hold the blade when cutting, because it will affect how the "outer edge" of the hood will look. If you don't like working with blades you could try to drill some holes first, roughly cut off what you don't need and file or sand the edges smooth.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I didn't use blades to make mine simply cut into the pad a bit with clippers to start the curve shape off and then got really busy with a rounded needle file. WIP WIP with paint Show us what you've done so far, maybe that will help us to advise you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalicurealm Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 That doesn't look too bad.... a little guitar wire going from the sides into his head and some green stuff to fill the gaps on the pauldron and I'd say it would be a worthy conversion. Just my two cents though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And did you use a file the same size as GW's or a bigger one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
