[My TE stormtrooper helmet project]

thanks everyone:)

It's just a TE helmet, my armor is from SDS

is that a TE armor set or just a TE helmet?

My helmet is 99% finished

(I just need the rubber neck thing)

What do you think about more black paint on the lips?

Anyway this is my first helmet and I really liked to do this.

If your going for ESB, paint each tooth individually and not one big black mouth like you have done in the mock up. It will look much better, believe me. Trooperdecals.com make the best ESB decals that I know of to finish off your helmet

thanks for the advice

I decided to have a helmet not too shiny, I prefer It how it is now because It's dry and not as shiny as I thought.

I have painted the ears, teeth and mouth.

I have a set of ESB stickers from trooper decals, the color does not match with the paint I used for the ears anyway I will do it like that.

I have finished the eyes now :

Today I started to paint it with acrylic white paint, I will add the gloss when It will be dry.

It was not easy to paint it very well there are some details not very well made...but for my first time I think It's not that bad...

The paint I used was designed to dry very fast, I had the time to spray the gloss :

Do you think I should spray one time again some gloss or one time is ok?

thank you

I have worked a little bit on the eyes again and I did this picture with paint to have an idea of how It would be finished.

I really hope I will do something like that.

thanks

here's some new pics of the helmet withe lenses with different angles.

I really wanted the eyes of a "bad guy"

This is what I did today, I have worked again on the eyes and I think It is ok now,In fact I wanted a look with bigger and agressive eyes.

So this is a comparison of how It was before and now:

Hi everyone , I bought a TE kit already built.

This is my first TE and I like it a lot !

I just wanted to show you my work in progress.

It was assembled in the ESB style, this is the version I want to do.

When I received my helmet I did not like the eyes so this is the first thing I wanted to work.

Here's a comparison pic of how It was before and today :

what do you think? do you think I could change some details on the eyes?

Thanks

[UPDATE: TE2 Helmet Build]

good idea for the hand painted tube stripes

It might be difficult to do something really clean but I'm sure you will do something that you will like better.

Hello everyone, I am mikajedi from France.

I am a star wars collector, I have a lot of props.

Concerning the stormtrooper costume I have a full SDS armor with a SDS stunt helmet + another SDS battle spec helmet.

I know we can always find better things that SDS, so this is why I am here...

I wanted to be a member here to have some informations about the best stormtrooper costume parts ...I wish I had some new helmets in my prop collection and I 'm sure I will find some help here to know what I can buy.

BTW : here's a pic of my SDS display :
