So watching. Can't wait until my brown box with lots of shiny white AP armour shows up

It's a fine grit sandpaper that you dip in water as you sand. The water then suspends the dust particles and clears them away from the work area.

Excellent job. Im definitely bookmarking this thread for when I start mine. 1 possible suggestion is, where I'm a mechanic and have exposure to different kinds of products. You may want to consider using a wet paper the next time. They use it on painted surfaces and provides a very smooth surface with less effort. I will definitely do a test on some scraps from mine. I believe it will turn out great. Awesome job on yours. It's making me anxious to get started on mine but I have to save the money for the kit.

I too am finding a crap load of info, tips, and tricks on here. When I first decided that I wanted a stormtrooper suit, I had no idea there were several types of armor. Some I have learned there are no less than a dozen. 1/2 of which I guess are junk and nothing more than cheap knock offs. I Definitly didn't want to go that route. Then I find out some people actually build thier own helmets. This appeals to me greatly. I have seen several build of varying types on you tube and else where. My final decision had been to create my own A NH Stunt helmet to go with the sand trooper armour build I'm planning. Does anybody have any advice on how's to proceed, buy a kit somewhere, make onefrom scratch? Or what? Kinda really lookin forward to diving in but I know I want to go slow so I don't screw it up. Id like my first build to be as flawless as possible.
