What are people using for helmet lens in there captain phasma helmet ? Friend got anovos helmet and you can see ur eyes when wearing it. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

thanks for the replies guys. answered my question now to finish off my anh hero and stunt

My question is does it have to be 1in strapping? Only ask because i finished my shadow trooper and have high rank of "Specialist" and this is how i did the strap system on it. Not including the shoulder straps. This was only pic i found of strap system. On the one side i used 3in wide were the 6 split rivets conect front and back. rest was 1in strips would this be exceptable for centurion ??

thanks for the reply. I look at it like this. You spent hundreds of $$$ on the armor just go the little extra and do it right. May take a little longer but its worth it. thats just my opinion.

Question on the drop boxes for centurion. Im building ANH hero. Does it matter if i use 1 inch or 2 inch elastic on the drop boxes? I dont see a specific size requirement so i figured i would ask. Also does it matter if i sew the strap to the belt or can i loop it and attach by pop rivet in the drop box? any info would be great.

would these screws work on the td for centurion? measure about 6mm across

would these work for the screws on the thermal detonator for centurion?? i measured the head and its like 6mm . the screws that came with kit are square head and will not pass. Only know this because a member in same garrison has same kit and pass on expert but will not get centurion because of wrong screw for the thermal detonator.

Helmet paint day !! take 2 lol

What we do is spray a cotton ball with the goo gone. touch the area you want clean. Depends on how long it has dried it can take a few mins for it to come off but it does come off.

greatly appreciate all the help and info people are pointing me into. Just to let people know the helmet we are painting is the stunt. This helmet is just a display and play helmet. basically a practice before we get to the real hero helment. Hero helmet is cut out and ready for assemble. Our garrison is having armor party soon so this shall be completed than. Thats when the helmet will be fully assembled.

where do you get that? never heard of it but worth a try

we use goo gone stuff works magic lol. whats the oven cleaner trick ?

So the tape came off. It ran a little but not much. So it is being redone. Sorry no pics bc someone got up early and cleaned the paint off. So no pics. Hopefully next paint and tape off ill have some pics for everyone. Happy 4th July everyone

I will let you know when we pull tape off later tonite. to get staight lines i would say yes that the tape helps. also we use a small paint brush first on edges than a bigger one for the other areas. Ill post pics up after tapes comes off

more work from today.

Also yesturday got the email saying my BBB will ship as soon as the snaps come in for my ANH Hero shadowtrooper. which shall be next week. so this Hero may be put on hold bc I can have a spot in the wierd al show if i have this approved before the event. but ill post pics of both builds here

well i have 4 days off and its not to humid out to paint the bucket and few other things today. We hand painting the whole bucket. Its just in the early stages. Plus practice with the brush. the lines will be straighter and lot cleaner trust me. Me and my dad are very picky so it will be done right.

I have no issues looking thru them at all. Just took a little time gettin use to the green look. It doesnt bother me looking down where the edge or anything.

No. they came premade from troopermaster. I just ordered film to do bubble lenses for my shadow trooper. im doing mirror lenses

Ok so i broke down and actually purchased the grappling hook / comlink from http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/34193-fs-tk-hero-set-grappling-hook-box-comlink-c1-clip/ let you know what my thoughts are on it when i get it.

Got some helmet work in today. Dont bash me for the tape on the eyes. just did that to hold in place for now for the pics. prolly use velcro to hold in place.
