I hated the wait, good luck hope the good news is soon

Look pretty much the same as what I got a while ago

Congrats and well done

No brush strokes on my lid but I did use the humbrol paint. Just depends how long the paint is in storage is can thicken over time. Hopefully this is not a huge stumbling block

Nice

If I had my time again I would go straight for TM

I added the cleaning kit tube to mine, why not if you are building the rest of it. I found the barrel rib material at a local second hand salvage yard, not sure the equivalent in the US. For more detailed info on the T21 head over to the MEPD forums

Well if you are happy I can send you the file or just use the address and copy it into your sig

Just something basic so far until I can come up with a better idea

No problems leave it with me

Make sure you use a high quality brush too as with the cheaper ones do loose a lot of hair. You may find that the paint you have is too thick, I had to apply 2 coats to my lid and my paint did not cover completely on the first coat, try a little paint mixed with thinners and see if that coats better. As to the TD sand it pack again, get some spray can grey primer then coat with a gloss clear, it will darken and it is acceptable for Centurion. Problem solved and no brush marks.

Looking good

Coming along nicely, not stop holidaying and get back to work

Can't wait to see more, looking good

It made them flat but I put some clear silicon over the top so it doesn't catch on the undersuit, a friend just used duct tape.

Yes that's pretty normal, I have seen 3 different makes of helmet and they all look like that, I think we all have a heart beat skip when we first see it

Looking good, soon it will be ears and they are the worst, just trim and sand a little at a time

Everyone hates ears, just go slow take a little off at a time and you will be fine

I made a tool from a bolt, cut a groove about 3mm on each side and made the centre a V. I'm not at my computer or I would post a pic. All you are trying to do is open the rivet then bend the sides, you could even use a screwdriver.

A few of us have just used he grey primer as I said earlier and then coated with clear, gives a nice dark grey appearance, really the TD is not an issue as the CRL doesn't say a particular grey

Sorry to hear this Karin I hope my comments didn't have anything to do with you're decision, you will be missed.

I love the brown box delivery, in a word Awesome, nice purchase
