Dewback Jockey Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandatrooper Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Looking sharp trooper! The only small thing I would suggest is to weather the face of the helmet a bit more. Even just bit under the eyes, in front of the ears and the valley where the cheek tubes are would add a lot character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENFORCER Posted February 28, 2011 Author Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks guys, yeah i agree about weathering the helmet more. My good friend is going to show me on how to do that, i bought this armor from a trooper from Scotland. The one thing that stands out for me is that i am one of the few tall troopers i know, i am 6' 5", all the bigger and badder for dealing with the Rebel scum. The back pack will hopefully be done very soon, i have more or less everything for it. It's just a matter of time of putting it all together.

Smally Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I will get on the painting the inside of the bucket Dave, whats the best paint to use for inside??? Any black spray paint will do dude. Plastikote or something like that. It's just to darken out your face when people are talking to you as the light won't bounce around inside your lid. Also so that it looks better for those that get the occasional glimpse inside the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENFORCER Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 got the backs of the legs trimmed as pointed out to me, not had much time to other things due to building a guitar room.

berkal Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Glad to see you enjoying the armour bro. I'm kinda missing it though Send me some pics once it's all done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FryGuy Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Looks good Brother! As for the inside of the bucket, may I suggest Plasti-Dip. It rubbercoats the inside. I use it on all of my helmets. I feel like ti strengthens it. Not sure if it really does, but I really like the look and feel of it. About the weathering- just search through the weathering threads, pick a method and go for it! If you don't like it, a magic eraser takes it all off so you can fix it the way you like it. You really can't mess it up and it feels good to do it yourself and add your own personal flair to it. Remember to make something unique and obvious to you so you can pick yourself out in pictures (Mine is my pauldron weathering) I like that you have the shoulder pouch even with no pack. I was trying to figure out a way to do that, but ended up just waiting until my pack was done. Good job, trooper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
