Coat two so for I think it could be a little lighter with a tint of a bit more green to match reference, but looks very much like mud lol

Nice man! Speaking of, I’ve been modding the armor into a Mimban stormtrooper For the mud effects I simply dabbed and slapped the grey paint on with a paper towel. I’ll be going over it again with a darker color. These guys were seriously muddy in the movie lol. For the forehead piece what I did was cover the helmet dome in foil, then add slits so I could flatten it to create the template. I used two layers of thin foam for the brow cause the first layer I wrapped around the bottom of the forehead. Making it look uneven. Still gotta add the little details on the side of the forehead and clean it up. Gotta figure something out for the cloak as well.

Padding and frown mesh added I also added in a chinstrap I fabricated with Velcro, foam and nylon straps to help with stability. I had to bulk up some of the pads with extra Eva foam to help it conform over the shap of my head. Took some trial and error but it sits decently now, especially with the chinstrap. However the chinstrap is a little fiddly to put on since u gotta reach into the helmet while you’re wearing it lol. The strapping and pad’s comfyness is pretty decent tho. Now all I gotta do is wait for the new neck trim from trooperbay and I’m done!

Thanks, but I think I’m pretty happy with the current position of the ears. I don’t wanna touch those blasted things ever again lol

Took off the ears again to file and sand the edges just so it looks a little cleaner, then repainted the screws since the paint was rubbing off. Visor installed as well. I attached it to the screws sticking out from the ears and side of the helmet Nearly there! Just need frown mesh, either reattach the neck trim or get a new one since it’s a little ripped, then add padding.

Yeah I think it definitely helps the look haha. Thanks man

Did some of the trimming suggested by @CableGuy the gap on this next one here was a little too big so I heat shaped the side of the helmet a little to minimize the gap Trimmed the neck hole a little too. Gonna need a new neck trim, I ripped it when pulling it off lol Cleaned up the paint details a lot more, and added decal blue tube stripes got off of ebay

Is that looking okay?

I’ve decided to mod my BS stormtrooper helmet for more wearability so my glasses will fit inside I’ve taken most interior and electronic parts so far. I’m considering making this RO accurate but seems like a lot of work

Cleaned up a bit, and added gray. It’s all coming together gotta touch up some black, then add stripes

Painted the black and white on the screws. Gonna need to do some cleanup, there’s little black flecks all over the helmet lol. Might need to do another coat on the vocoder. I’m planning on taking a toothpick and cleaning up some of the edges later.

Finished the ears. Oh lord I hope I never have to do that again. For trimming, what I do is score, then make cuts with shears up to the score line so it makes sections of plastic, and snap those sections off. and then there’s the pain of trying to get the shape perfect to the helmet. made the marks drilled the holes and here’s it after installation so that whole ear process was not fun, 0/10 would recommend. also cut down the mic tip screws https://i.imgur.com/UwD2dHe.jpg

How’d the ear placement look?

Happy day after Halloween everyone. I replaced the window tint on the helmet cause I had ripped off the previous tint before the silicone spray. And I added a nylon strap under the shoulders to keep them in position better. Before the shoulders liked to fall towards the back. here’s me and my sis on Halloween. Used a rebel pilot helmet as a candy bucket haha. And just stuffed an unmodified hasbro blaster in the holster.

Mic tips painted, mesh added and installed. sanded the edge of the white screws installed on the bottom

Did a little fine tuning trimming, then attached the cap and face. started by marking the screw hole. drilled it out, then marked through it to the second hole. then drilled it out and put the screw through both, and secured it with a nut on the inside. did the same with the other side. Took a lot of finagling to get it to sit right. I did fitment with the brow on, a tip from pandatrooper’s tutorial. Here’s it together. I’ve only done two of the screws. Still gotta do the ones on the bottom. without brow

Cut out sides First started by making a hole with a knife so three questions: how do the face and back join? Rivets? Or screws?And where are they placed? what screws are used for the ears, and how are they placed? and how is the brow attached? Does it sit on top of the cap? Or does it slip on the edge of it? Is it slips on the edge of it, how do some helmets like the “move along” trooper’s have higher brows?

Other teeth done also decided to go ahead and do the bottom anyways. Used score and snap method. I think I’m getting pretty good at it.

To cut out the teeth, I started by making holes by spinning an exacto knife. then cut, filed, and sanded till it looked about right.so far I’ve only done 4 teeth.

Cleaned up the other eye. My knife accidentally slipped and I made a tiny mark on the bottom corner, but luckily it isn’t very noticeable. The originals probably had worse mistakes anyways haha.

Cleaned up the eye, and rough cut the other.

To cut out the eye, I made little holes in the corners by spinning an exacto knife. then started cutting with it and a coping saw. needs a lot of cleanup. I did try the score and snap method but I suck at it, and I’m not to good with a dremel, so I think this is the best option for me. trimmed the top of the face and the back I’m too scared to try the bottom of the chin and the sides till I get some feedback lol.

Washed out the inside with soapy water, then marked for rough trim. Please tell me if anything looks off. Sorry if my pencil lines are kinda faint
