TD-4510 Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Here's pics of my Sandtrooper helmet. I am trying to get it as close as I can reasonably get it to a screen used helmet. I painted it like 10 times and destroyed the paint then I chipped out all the liquid latex and exposed the faux HDPE. After that I did all the hand painting and I cheated on the strips (used stickers). I then painted it with satin clear and began layering the weathering and working it out. I still have a ways to go but I think I am close to being done. Let me know what you think. I tried to capture some of the details from the "stop that ship" and "move along" helmets. Some of the paint is pretty sloppy, but it was intentional. I am putting the lenses and rubber molding in this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-459 Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Looks great! I had a chance to check it out first hand today and it's really nice. I like the way it feels, and I love the scratches in the teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirtydave Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Helmet looks great.The only suggestion I would make is get rid of the paint chip on the right ear showing the HDPE.I believe the ears were formed in ABS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
