MrSnrub

cool thread, great work so far, looking forward to more!

rocking the mr no paint, ordered humbrols, #5 admiral grey and coal satin black #85 and some stencils from trooperbay, also not looking forward to inserting the mic tip mesh edit:i think i finally figured out how to get pictures to stay now

trying to recreate the mr no stripes brow, the brow is easily adjusted to the way i want some adjusted brow photos

is the paint for the vocoder humbrol coal black satin? and the same for the black outlines and lines on tears traps?

heres a pic it just needs paint,

What are the best remedys for this?

unfortunate you couldn't resize them yourself, or get help from a local 501st member to resize them, would of saved a lot of headaches , try messaging them on twitter and facebook also.

i say dont trim the eyes anymore they look good. Good luck scott

Thanks for the help guys i think ill give itanother long shake and stir and buy another some more if they dont work i bought these humbrols bout a year ago they went on nicely in one coat

went to use my humbrols to paint my new bucket and notices that its quite watery and doesnt want to stick to anything, i shook it up and stirred for a minute, they are about a year old do i just need to give it more of a shake or get some new paints?

.

Thanks for the helpful info again! Im trying to put the faceplate and back togeather but whenever i allign one side the otherside Is unalligned and off by quite a bit :s<br><br><br> Edit: i think i manged to get it lined up ive jusy been playing with it for hours but im gettin real close, should have it built up tomorrow hipefully with some pics

Hey thanks for the helpful info ill definatly cut those teeth out more also what kind of paint for the khaki paint chips?

got the teeth cut out yesterday and the eyes a little more shaped, taking my time with this and goin real slow, also what is the best color match to the khaki of the origional helmets? i would like to add some chipped paint effects heres where im at so far with the faceplate, how do the teeth look?

Got my 40th anniversary helmet kit from RS today and started on the eyes, going after mr no striped replica i notice he has a clean right eye and a bit of a sleepy left, mine is over exaggerated at the moment as i didnt want to remove too much ill definately remove a little more, i also think i cut the right eye a bit too much and a bit too round sorry for giant images, but hey more detail lol

Some of the screen used armor just had it screwed into the face of the armor i think they actually riveted brackets to the armor too (no one do this lol)but bit of white paint and it should be fine

i ended up trying marks way but after one cut realised it would make it too small, so i decided to cut the other side on the opposite side of the cover strip so i ended up with twobicep halves with the cover strip still on each side, i don't know what glue rs uses but its way too strong for me to try use an exacto,i have a hole and big slice in my index finger after trying to remove the leftover amor from the coverstrip lol, so i used a dremel sanding wheel to sand away the half of the amor that was still in the cover strip which worked wonders and made me wonder why i even tried the exacto knife lol, that seemed to work for me, sorry if it sounds a bit confusing but either way i got it sorted thanks

i have biceps built by rs and they're a bit too big probably almost an inch extra room which is just a bit too much on my biceps, what would be the best way to remove the coverstrip and to size it down would i just need to cut an equal ammount of both sides of one piece? thanks

hey you could bring your chestplate up a bit more,it would look a lot better good luck!

if you cant fix the color problem you could always go sandtrooper edit: also remove all that return edge the bottom of your shins and give it a good sand, will keep from scuffing paint off your boots

easiest method would be using CA glue with some scrap abs behind, what i did for the couple of cracks ive had

lookin good! , just few minor adjustments as 68brick said and youll be on your way m8!

congrats on EIB im sure centurion will be a piece of cake!

lookin good david, you will want to shorten your shoulder bell elastics to bring them closer in, good luck!

you should also cut off the return edge at the bottom of the shins
