A+ skills bro.

You are among the best in assembling these baby´s, plus the humbrol detail paint job are spot on too.

Love the HDPE coming through ;)

Those are sweet dude!

Hey curious, compared to the MRCE how big are those beauties?

I think they're a little smaller. Never measured them. Maybe I should do that.

Those are awesome Scootch! those TE2 buckets?

They are CAP buckets.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Glad you like them. :td:

Those two helmets look great! What color/brand of paint did you use for the beige HDPE look on the ANH bucket?

Thanks bro! I used Rustoleum Paint for plastic "Taupe". I'd like to try more of a "snot green" next time. AJCG turned me on to the process with a build thread he did for an ESB helmet. Pretty cool.

Here in Denmark, we don´t have spray cans as strong as the rustoleum.

So i just brush hand paint my TE2 hips helmets whit gloss white humbrol.

You can´t see its brushed on, and are crazy strong, i guess just as stronger then the rustoleum ;)

Sometimes i just let them be not painted, and let them stay white hips.

When the weathering, and hair spray comes on, you can´t all most not see if its painted white or not any way.

I will add a few pics here, of my last TE2, not painted body armor and helmet.

Can't even tell it's not painted. Very sweet!!!

Thanks bro :)

I guess we can all ways paint the helmet white gloss, if the paint brand is strong/solid.

But i like that fact, that a hips TD body armor is not painted, so there is no paint to be scratch off while trooping through life.

Cheers ;)

Checked it out with my CAP ESB and CAP Sandy. The MRCE has a gnarley cut out at the neck. :blink: No wonder it's a good troopin helmet! Lots of airflow. The MRCE seems taller in the dome but the CAP seems to have more "face-room" and is much lighter in weight. I guess one could cut out more of the neck if he had to, then it's just a question of adding longer trim.
