Daetrin[Admin] Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 I'm just replying so it's easier to get updates. As a beneficiary of several of your helmets (just missing the ANH Stunt!), I'm eager to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sskunky Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Hey Mike, Is this one of yours? It's one of my favorite pieces in my collection. The attention to detail is outstanding and if I didn't know better I would think I was looking at an original.... -------------- If not I'll pull it down but if it is , Thanks!

Rob .T .[TK] Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Anyone paintinga New Hope helmet has to realise that two differant shades of HDPE were used , so best to do the cap chips a slightly darker green than the face plate chips.

sskunky Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Hi Rob, I'm not sure that's strictly true for all ANH helmets. There would have been some discrepancy in the colour of HDPE just through the manufacturing process from sheet to sheet and different batches.But if the same sheet was used for the whole helmet then the faceplate would be the same colour as the back n cap. The one you've seen may well be but not all. I've seen the same HDPE in SDS's workshop and the parts I saw were all the same shade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-4510[TK] Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Part 3: After cleaning up the tube stripes I tackle painting the vocoder. I used humbrol gloss black paint and a #6 flat round tipped brush Edited October 21, 2010 by TK-4510 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 Looking good Mike I think to avoid the paint running under your masking templates you might consider brushing from the outside inwards. Brushing the paint in one direction is forcing it under the template. If you start from the edges and into the middle then you have less chance of runs IMO.
