So, I decided to go ahead and paint them. It turns out that the grey paint works fine. Although its not glossy and a little on the dark side...hehehe. Oh well, i love it so far.
Wacha think so far??
So today i got the Testors gloss black enamel. And figured out that I don't have a steady hand!!
The hobby shop didn't have the paint for the frown/ears. So i bought Testors " 1788 Euro Gray FS36081" Does it look about right???? It looks like this:
Here's the helmets:
Thanks everybody for the encouragement! Can someone please post the correct color paints for the frown , ears and vocoder? I know they are around here somewhere...just too lazy to find them. THANKS
UPDATE: DECALS ARE AL ON!
Paint dried, decals applied. I'm satisfied!
I wanted to make this one look extra stunt...i made things not match up perfectly. Like the tube stipes, back traps, etc.
Next step is to paint the ears, vocoder, and the frown.
