I thought it was ABS so I stayed away from the acetone. Maybe it is a blend/ mixture. I also notice that in some 3D filament which are supposed to be 100% ABS or PLA.
Anyway, I was able to fix it.
Normally I would have done it with water but I used Vallejo earth texture and needed something stronger to remove it.
It is cool stuff for mimicing desert dioramas, but didnt gave the effect on the lid I was hoping for.
Yes, I did it when I was fixing the cracks.
I probably just want level 1. I saw a lot of helmets that filled ear gaps with weathering and filled it with sand. So I thought that would be good to fill it.
I mean, like in these the gaps are filled with weathering. I love the top left one by the way
Thanks for mentioning it though! I might get a better helmet if I will go for a screen accurate version
Hi all,
Starting my first built.
Got all the white armor from the UK 3 weeks ago and started ith the helmet. Most of the soft goods will come from The Imperial Supply Depot from the UK.
I started with the helmet. Top left picture the left helmet is a black series.
I wanted to eather it using ashes and Valleyo desert sand:
It didn't look very good. Too yellowish paint spotty. I used a grey black wash after (no picture) but that made it worse.
So I cleaned it mostly off just now with cleaning sprit. that got off most but also reacted to the ears creating some cracks.
I fixed it just now with milliput.
I like the greyish leftover wash now actually. I have to redo all the painting.. Luckily I bought extra templates for the blue stripes. I am going to wait weathering the rest of the helmet when the rest of the white armor is done.
I also started with my electrobinoculars.
I still need to prime sand and paint them.
And I started printing a DLT19.
That is it for now
Maybe we will see more variants of Sandtroopers in the Han Solo film.
I liked one of the posters opinions that a deployed/ dirty trooper could be a TD.
I am building a TD but also love the grenade backpack.
