sixxgunn13 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Hi Guys I'm sorta on the fence as to how I want my Helmet to look... Clean or beaten, ANH or ESB. Clean, all assembled and painted white. Beaten, All assembled with HDEP showing thru, but not too much. Is it acceptable to have a weathered TK armor and a helmet a with "HDEP" look? Also I do like ANH and ESB for specific reasons.. ANH, because its the first time you see Stormtroopers. ESB, because it would fit well with my Boba Fett, possibly the Helmet like this one seen in the corridor of cloud city. thx for looking. thx Arnold Edited January 26, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photo updated gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Lightly weathered, with that "lived in" look - absolutely. In fact, I'd say it's encouraged. Dirty, sandtrooper style weathering - no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehickey Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Trust me, just by trooping in your armor, you'll get lots of little black nicks and scratches that you can just leave instead of polishing out. I always seem to get my best black marks when I am standing next to a tie pilot or stealth trooper during photo shoots when we all have to stand close.

john danter Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just use the soles if your boots to leave black matks on the corners of your kit Less is more when it comes to a TK looking used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiHahn[TK] Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Go for slightly weathered, and go for a kinda "beat up" helmet with some HDPE showing. That's the best, meanest look for ANH/ESB IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueGrot Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm gonna go for relatively shiny at first. Don't know how much I'll be wearing mine, but the nicks and scratches show a lived-in armor, and that's important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 It's all individual. As noted you can start shiney and just let it naturally get scuffed over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
