    Man!

    That is awesome work!!

    Really amazing.

    How did you do the black marks?

    And what kind of paint did you use.

    A true piece of art!

    Congrats.

    Saludos

    Muchas Gracias Juan! The black marks ironicaly are made with the neck trim and brow trim; I cut dfferent thickness to achive different strokes. Also there is some charcoal to make it uneven.

    For the paint I just type it on my previous post I think.

    Un cordial saludo :salute:

    Thank you guys for your kind words! I really appreciate it. I know it is different to the sandies but I am glad you like what i did. ;)

    Great job, man! What method do you use for the paint chipping?

    Thank you! :) For the chipping paint I used three coats of Rustoleum for Plastic Taupe color then liquid latex for mask out the areas for the chipping. Then three more coats of Rustoleum Professional High Performance Enamel #7592 Gloss White. I hope this help.

    Wow! That is a sweet piece of work you've done there! I think a lot of painters are tempted to do too much damage to their helmets and it ends up looking kinda amateurish: you successfully walked that fine line between overdoing the distressing and making it look like it actually just came off the head of a veteran trooper. I'd love to see any WIP shots you might have. Bravo!

    Thanks! I know exactly what you mean, it is not easy task because is hard to say when you added to much or if the pattern looks very even. My goal was to make it look beat up like in some of the shots on Tantive IV.

    BTW what do you mean with WIP? no damage? Thanks again.

    Cheers

    Probably some of you have seen this lid in other forums but being this forum a place dedicated for sandies I thought you might like to see the latest helmet I put together ;) . I tried to recreate the "used" look of the Tantive IV stormtroopers. Everything is hand painted , no stickers of any kind.

    I hope you like it and if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

    Cheers

    once again you did a amazing job, bro!

    i´m no big fan of the RotJ helmets but your´s looks definatly spot on! makes me wish one too, somehow...

    :duim:

    Thanks Rocko for your kind words. Me neither, I alway preferred somehow ANH or ESB style. I'm working now in a Hero version, I will post pics soon.

    Cheers

    Beautiful helmet bro.

    You have done a A+ work on it, looks like the real deal.

    I´m only a ANH stunt fan, but yours make me want one too :D

    Thanks a lot Rolf :D, I really appreciate it. I was in the same boat before I got this helmet. I was a ANH\ESB fan but this helmet made me change my mind. I can tell you that is a very interesting bucket.I'm glad you like it

    Weber's "S" neck trim profile changed

    in Sandtrooper Armor

    Posted

    FYI I ordered some neck trim from Webber's (WINDOW & AD GLASS RUBBER #RG102 "S" SHAPED RUBBER GASKET). Surprisingly I noticed they just changed the profile slightly from the original without mentioned it. The new profile is slightly thinner than the previous one I bought from them 2 years ago. The outside lip of the "s" trim cover less surface than their previous version what it makes this trim not very accurate anymore.

    Cheers

    PD:I can post some pics if you wish
