Hengstler sight glass

[matt black]

Hello everyone. Just one more question and then I'm good to go, I promise. what is the SA thing to do with the Hengstler. Should I take the plastic sight glass for the numbers out or leave it in. If it should be left in I will have to remove it so that when I paint it I can paint the gray plasic bit that you can see behind the glass.

All th best,

 

Rob.

To my knowledge, to this point there hasn't been a good picture showing (SA) if the sight glass was painted solid or if you are still able to see the counters.

 

I am taking a stab at this and saying since this was a very quickly put together prop, they probably painted the whole Hengstler and didn't worry about if you could see through to the counter/numbers.

 

Here is a suggestion, a lot of the 501st members dial the counter to their TK, TD, etc. number like the pic below of Ward/TK2187/TD2187 Hengstler. So you could do that when you get your number. But it is all up to the individual as to how they want to do it.

I just masked off the window with a bit of masking tape. Then you can spray it with a can of primer then top coat.....

Yerrp, same as Mark

 

Rob, nearly all the ones we see on screen were just sprayed over with black so you couldn't really see

the numbers.I think we only leave the numbers showing so that we can show off a little bit to let others

know its real, although it is quite funky I must say.

Personally I prefer to make a statement with mine http://i405.photobucket.com/albums/pp139/Billhag/GIFS/4funnies_com_animated_emoticons_devil_21.gif-------

I'm in the camp where you put your Tk number in the window.

I also did the TKID in the window. I'll take that variation from accuracy. It also helps people remember who it belongs to

Thank you once again for the terrific help everyone. You guys are pretty wizard.

Isn't there a rumour that they had 1138 on some of them though?
