ATA Helmet build

[giftshopduane]

Made a few changes last night, I fixed the vocoder (had too many stripes 9 not 7) trimmed the brow, painted the tube stripes. I the the stripes are too dark and short, possibly not enough curve? You be the judge do I need to change them? The flash made them lighter than they are. I'm thinking they need to be closer to the color of blue painters tape?

 

This is an ATA "B" grade pull, minor areas didn't pull as sharp, but overall I am more than happy with the quality and finished product. Thanks T for the helmet.

Your lid looks great, but the tube stripes don't have enough curve like you said. The length of them, to help you out, should be 5/8" or 16mm long, by about 1/8" or 3mm wide.

 

Here is a paint chart for the proper colors and what paint you can buy in two different brands; Humbrol or Testors:

 

 

 

 

BTW, are you doing a Sandtrooper?

Thanks, colors and sizes noted, I picked up Humbrol blue but got the wrong color, I have Fusion True Blue in spray, I might try this, looks closer, I want to spray the stripes as the bleed under the tape with the brush is too much, haven't an airbrush kit. Working on it tonight. Yes I'm going for TD. Will build a TK helmet at some time soon.
