TK5492[TK] Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 IMHO I think you should go ahead and replace it. The clips should be 1" wide, and those look a little smaller. Also, this TD has the rounded button on the top right of the white panel, and the attachment points for the clips protrude from the TD. TK 4702 makes superb kits for not too much money. You may consider this route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Jones[TK] Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks for the advice, I'll look them up. After some consideration, I think I'm going to go with an ATA helmet, I'm not sure I want to troop around with a fiberglass bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho Jones[TK] Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Got my ATA helmet in. Following the Pandatrooper tutorial, I've trimmed the eyes and teeth out, how do they look? Pulling my paints together and I've seen conflicting info is the vocoder satin black? And the black stripes/detail gloss? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkTrooper Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 The teeth could use some more trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSpecial[TK] Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Yeah the teeth could use a wee bit more work, the eyes are looking good though ! For the vocoder and black striping I used Humbrol gloss 21 Heres Billy's handy paint guide ---------- Edited January 18, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho Jones[TK] Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Is there a specific number of stripes In need to have in the traps and tears for EIB status? I'm hand painting the lines and i'm seeing different counts. on this helmet (http://www.starwarshelmets.com/original-ANH-hero-Stormtrooper-armor-helmets.htm) I see 7 stripes in the tear and 13 stripes in the trap. OR should I go along with the Pandatrooper layout in his tutorial, 6 in the tear and 13 in trap? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Look at real helmet, pick one you like and emulate that. Don't look at other peoples helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
