I'd stick with ANH, but that's just because it's my first meeting with TK's. I'm not loving the black frown which is why I haven't gone the ESB way. But that's just my taste. Go for what you like the most. You can always do up another bucket anyway. In the end, I'll probably make one of each.

adda boy!

That's why I'm going to keep working in the cell blocks. Plus, that's where the action is:) Hehe.

I know the drill

Hehe... showing up in white would at least tip the psychotic ones over so we could ship them over to the asylum.

You might be right there, but Istill don't feel like the MRCE has to look as idealized as it does out of the box. If you put enought work into it, a lot can be done. On the other hand, the amount of tome and money you put into doing something like that would probably get you an AP...

Yes, sir! They do!

Well, I'm still waiting on the trims and lenses for my helmet, but today I recieved tha fans!! There was only one thing to do, install hem ASAP! Here are a few pics of them. The fans are quite big, so bothj sides of the neck was the only place I had room for them. They work well, just hope they still do with a neckseal on:P I'm considering purchasing a small one and adding that to the front, by my mouth somewhere.

I wear a light blue uniform shirt and dark blue uniform pants as I am a prison guard full time. I also so wear green as I work in the army as well. All uniform, all the time here:)

Oh, I see...it doesn't help "bending" the helmet? Anolther thing you could do, is mayde use an L-shaped trim... Pics would help understand the problem.

If you don't like it idealized, mod it. It's not that hard making it more screen accurate. The only thing would be the symmetrical faceplate, which also can be modded to look more accurate, for example adding the eyebumb.

Let me assure you, painting is not that hard. I did it for the first time ever on my MR, and it turned out great. Try experimenting with painting something else, just to get the feel of it. I really was a bit intimidated at first myself, but just got over it and jumped in.

Why not just buy a new browtrim?

I have wide, big feet, and I wear CAboots, no problems there... There are som makers of holsters here on this forum, check out the "For Sale" section. That goes for neckseals, resin-kits and so forth as well. Resinkits can also be found easily on the bay.. Use the search function, and you might just find everything you're looking for, and more.

Yeah, I have no idea why it's like that.

Here you go:

As far as I know it's only the FX that has the silver tape on the CO2 cannister, and that is not screen accurate.

I don't know if it's random or what. Mine smell, but not that bad. They've got "the" CAboots-smell, but it's not that powerful, thank god. :-P But I guess shoe smell changes over time to something bad anyway... either you have the CAboot-smell or you have sour feet smell. I'm not sure which is better...

Hehe.... You wouldn't want to see the result of me painting the thin black lines....

Thanks guys:) I have to give credit to my wife for most of the handpainting. Her hands are a tad bit steadier than mine:)

I went with 240, then 320 and finally wetsanding with 600 grit.

Ok, here are a few updated pics after handpainting frown, tears, traps, ears and vocoder. The lines on the tears and traps will be done tomorrow. Front: Left: Back: Right: More pics to come soon. I'm expecting fans, lenses and neck and browtrim to arrive this week. Stay tuned:)

Umm... no. If you read the post, it says: cutting them and then using a hobbyiron to give a return edge...

Yeah I know... it's a process of going back and forth a bit, but it's an enjoyable process at least. I'll be posting some pics of the paintjob later today.

In my case, I like it pimped, it´s fun to do and be creative with, and it´s cool when people see the helmet and it looks a little more "real"
