  1. Anyone found a spray paint that matches the white? It is a "cool" white which favors the blue over a "hot" white that favors yellow. So far I've tried Rustoleum X2 coverage and Krylon Super Maxx. The Rusto was closer but not perfect.
  2. Got one on Rogue Friday. Couldn't resist. Halfway through with modding it. I think the brow is plenty thick. I just think the underside of the lip it's on needs to be painted black. Here's my list of mods: 1. Fill in the speaker holes and batt. compartment seams. (sand and repaint) 2. File out the tube stripes and back with blue plastic. 3. Paint underside of brow trim lip 4. Replace lenses. 5. Cut out fronts of mic tips and replace with actual screen. 6. Replace frown backing with black mesh screen. 7. Gut electronics and glue ear button in place. Now here are some things that might be more difficult and might not be actually necessary depending on how strict the CLR ends up: 1. Cut out teeth of frown and replace with new teeth attached from the inside. (this will require cleaning up and smoothing out the lips of the frown they are attached to) 2. Cutting the whole mouth piece off of the face plate and reattaching it so there is an actual seam that separates them. Like the EFX has. (this detail can be seen in shots of the screen used helmets) 3. Replacing the mouth bars with separate individual bars instead of one solid molded piece. I'm not even going to attempt these last three mods. While they will make it 100% screen accurate, I don't think I can pull them off without completely ruining the helmet. While I want this helmet to be troopable, I'm probably 1-2 years away from RO armor. So if my 1-7 mods don't get it approved then hopefully by the time there is an accurate armor kit there will be a bucket to go with it.
