Nice work Sam You’ll have this nailed in no time.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Prothanks Darren! this is only my 2nd time painting a bucket.....my first was the Shoretrooper. After I remove most of the tape, I'll do whatever cleanup/touchups are left and that should conclude the painting...then the rest is easy!

Funny I actually work in IT but never knew really how to embed the images directly in the forum lol

ok figured it out.... so over the last week or so, I've gotten a lot of work done on my KB Props TLJ FO bucket...it will become a FOJE. I used Rustoleum 2X white gloss for the base white after priming, and then so far Testors FL Black for the brow/teeth/grill area and Testors GL Black for the lens area and ear area. I bought FL Black and GL Black spray paint but saw using Testors/hand painting was easier...
After I remove the tape, I know I'll have some touch ups to do...but at this point it's looking more like a bucket!
I plan on using a hard hat liner for the inside w/foam as well...also need to install the lens...etc...

Hi Sam
You are choosing the wrong link to share the images directly onto the forum page., from IMGUR.
Its the second from the bottom of the link list on the right hand side of the image you select. Its titled BBCode (message boards and forums)
Hope that hepls.
the links I posted still work though correct? is it better to embed the images directly on to the forum?

Yes. In Southern California. He said it will take about 3 weeks for delivery. I may have some help with finishing it. I’m so picky and honestly scared to mess it up. I have never really been at artist.
I know one person on here offers to finish. I wonder if more do as well? Along with quality.
this is the 2nd bucket I've had to paint, my other was the Shoretrooper...I'll upload pics soon...I have some showing all white and then masking off areas for the black...I did the gloss black last night and it looks pretty good I must say. not sure about ppl who offer to finish on here...im using rustoleum 2x white gloss for the base white...

Thanks - this is interesting news. For KB yeah there was some bad stuff posted on the 501st boards (they still exist, not everyone lives on social media ;-) ). It's too bad - he's a good dude and seemed was getting shafted.
sent you a PM

I just placed an order from KB as well. Was wanting to go with Jim, yet KB is close and saves me $200 on shipping alone!
awesome man! so you're in the states I take it as well yes? yeah my armor is Jimmi's and I would have gone w/his but due to the shipping and time, I wanted to do more research. I really like my KB helmet...I got the first coats of white applied a cpl days ago...gonna do some wet sanding tonight and hopefully finish the white at least...

just found his post on his page...they look great! I'd think I could get it cheaper/quicker all together vs Jim's...since this is in the US already...

I wouldn’t.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Proyeah...I'm now leaning to buying an accurate one...if I don't get it before premier...maybe just paint the black stripe on mine to have the "look"...but not for approval.
