  1. I got the tube stripes painted (thanks Pandatrooper for the template) as well as hitting the eyes with some sandpaper and fixing the tops of the rear traps to make the corners less sharp. Thank you to everyone that has been helping me with critiques! Keep in mind the flash brings out things that are not normally visible! lol
  2. Or I could have the $$$ to put towards my armor! lol
  3. Thanks for the pointers. I will address those issues this weekend. I really have had a lot of fun building this and I couldn't have done it without the great support I have received here. The kit I am planning on purchasing for my armor comes with a helmet. So I am considering selling this one to put the money towards my armor. Sent via my R5 unit via TapaTalk4.
  4. I think I have it done except for the tube stripes.. Please let me know if you see anything.
  5. I just glued down the outside so I can tuck wires underneath on the inside of I need to like in the tutorial.
  6. Thanks. I wrestled with that trim seems like forever to get it so it wouldn't pucker and in the end I gave up. My main concern was that the outside that was glued down looked good.
  7. So I wasn't happy with my markings and like every good craftsman, I blamed my tools. So I went and bought a new set of brushes and repainted everything. I know, I know. lol I need to put the vertical lines back on, but I think the outline is much better now. I installed my Trooperbay lense, screen accurate padding and S-trim. Is it normal for the S-trim to pucker a little on the inside?
  8. I'm not happy with them as I look at them this morning. I may try to paint them free hand. Sent via my R5 unit via TapaTalk4.
  9. So, my first attempt at making stencils turned out absolutely horrible. So i tried cutting the stencil out of painters tape. This worked out somewhat better. But I still think it looks bad. But, then again, most of the screen used buckets looked like crap as well! So is this passable? Or should I try again?
  10. I need to work on the vocoder. It just doesn't look right to me. Sent via my R5 unit via TapaTalk4.
  11. In normal lighting the lines look great! Until I hit it with the camera flash and then it seems like every little imperfection is so glaring. But I'm committed now. I found some markings on the RPF that fit pretty good that i am using for stencils for the vertical lines. So we will see how that goes. I also touched up the teeth. Let me know if you see any spots that need attention.
  12. Phase II of the detail painting is underway. It will get another coat tomorrow after this one sets. As always, any comments or critiques or disparaging comments about my lineage are welcome!
  13. So, let's try this hand painted thing. What's the worst that could happen, right? Right?
  14. I'm following the great tutorials here and letting each coat dry a full day before applying the second.
  15. That's what I am hoping. I think the flash from the camera is making it look worse than it is as well. Here is the first pass with the paint. I see some lines I will clean up with the second coat.
