Very nice! Since I build car models, Im use to using 1000-2000 grit sandpapers. Ill be wetsanding with 1500 soon enough...

Thanks! Was primed yesterday, and earlier today...

Thanks guys. Theres not much I can do currently for the right ear, though in time id like to put plastic on the inside, then add putty to the outside to make it look better. I dont plan on painting the details except the interior/exterior and the teeth. I have some okay decals for the other stuff that should be good (supplied with the AP helmet).

I had the same tab on my AP. Not sure why its there, but a little sanding the front edge and the rest is covered by the ear...

Okay, trimmed some more, mostly off the eyes, drilled the 4/8 teeth, and added the mic tips, which was hard because the backside of the area was super thin...

Okay, Ive raised the brow, through both measures said above. I only cut 3 teeth on each side because I was reading the EIB requirements, and not sure what I want to be (hero or shunt). New shots. This is about the best I can get with the ears, Ive spent hours trying to fix them. Thinking of painting soon. Ive heard and seen that people paint the inside of the bucket black. Any reason for this? Ill probably do it anyways...

Thanks guys! Im pretty sure im doing ANH, or at least meeting those standards. The ears have been bugging me the whole time, and I think I might have trimmed a little too much on right side ear. Still working on them Also trying to raise the brow a little bit too

Hi guys! Ive been here for a few months, and finally picked up my first bucket. Big thanks to Mark! Ive started the build, based off the pictures Ive found here. Heres what Ive done in the past 24 hours. And a cool pic I know I need to paint the screws white, better lenses, mesh, decals, paint and mic tips. Any thing else? Is it on track to be 501st acceptable? Thanks for looking!

Im very sorry for your loss. I lost a friend in Afghanistan 2 months ago, a friend who I went to high school with only 3 years ago. Its hard when you dont get to say goodbye, but it helps knowing they went doing what they loved, protecting those they love. They are the ultimate heros. Best wishes to his family...
