Nice job think the brow a little high

Are they decals ? if so you might want to remove and paint them on will look heaps better

And you might need to rework the right ear big gap at the back

But for first lid good job

Thanks man! Yeah I think my next build will not have such a high brow. But the details are indeed hand-painted - I'm not gonna skip the most fun part! I have a pretty steady hand.

I did use a Trooperbay template for the tube stripes though. No way I'd have the patience for doing those without one.

Here's a close-up:

jim,

youve made a great job buddy!

what you need to do now is purchase some armour and put the same skills

you have used on your lid to a set of armour.

then,join us out in the sand and enjoy a healthy sandy filled life!

good luck if you decide to take the leap bro!!!!

Thanks! Time permitting I certainly will.

Greetings! I've been lurking here and at the FISD doing research for a display lid build. I recently finished it, and I have to say it woulda turned out garbage had I not learned so much from the 'Troopers! I also spent a lot of time studying the real items on starwarshelmets.com, and wanted to build something in that spirit (a screen-used prop).

This is a first-time effort, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, although if I get into actual trooping, I'd instead do something similar to what TD-4510 does in his weathering video.

So, photos below and see you guys around. Thanks!
