steve12201 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 OK, I've been searching through the posts looking to see what is correct. Now I am confused because I've seen lids painted both ways. Does the grey teardrops and/or the grey trapezoids around the top of the helmets get black pinstripes or left plain grey? In addition, is any black applied to the features on the ears? I've seen some outlined in black and different variations of the "ribs" painted black. What is right???? Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 No pinstripes at all on the teardrops or traps. The ears get a black line around the gray. Vertical black stripes on the ear ribs denote rank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyranus Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I made a few mods to my ear cover and the bucket beneath it so I could hear better. It really helps with being able to hear what is said and not just the echoes of it inside the bucket. Here's the views of the mod (made before I dirtied up): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve12201 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 Thanks for the good ideas. I never knew that rank was displayed this way. Is there a decoder anywhere that explains the ranks? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyranus Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Check here: http://www.gotarmor.net/buildlog4.html I did a search and got some description on the google page, but the actual web page is blocked for me at work. If that doesn't have it, I am looking into my Garrison resources to get it for you. Hang in there, we'll get you hooked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The stripes on the ear are more likely for decoration. Do you really think Lucas said, ok here is a ranking system for the stormtroopers - ear stripes!? They did have the pauldrons to denote rank. I remember hearing about the ear rank from more than one source, but for all I know, somebody could have just made it up and it spread until people took it as gospel. BTW, I think the TD's only have one stripe per ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 The grey traps and tear drops have a black outline as does the ear caps. There are no stripes though like on the stormtrooper helmets but the ear caps are the same with a black stripe (or two). No black outline around the teeth on the originals either.
