drawdan Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I started this build back in 2013, and have a few photos of the finished E-11 and the start of my helmet. I picked the project back up on early August and have been going gangbusters ever since. I have taken some production photos of my progress mostly in concert with questions for my GML. My E-11 was the first thing I built using a Hasbro gun fitted with a DroopyDoo's mod kit. I still need to add the wires and a bolt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawdan Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) The second thing I started is my helmet. These are the initial production photos. I have since attached the ears and replaced the brow trim with the correct size. I just received my green glass for the eyes, frown screen, and mic tips to finish it off. Im shopping for the paints. Has anyone found colors that are a close match to the Humbrol paint colors ?....Im trying to find something local.

Holnave (evan_loh)[TK] Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Humbrol french blue and admiral grey and satin/gloss black. Someone insert that popular img of the different Humbrol paint code needed please! --------- If you're planning to follow the "move along" trooper the brow has a smoother curve and the rubber trim has a flatter look. Also the best folks to advice you on a sandy build will be over at http://www.mepd.net/ as they specialise in sandtroopers.

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Another sandy! I got all my paint at Hobby Lobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drawdan Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) I have the Humbrol paint numbers, but like Airborne did, I am trying to find a suitable substitute locally. Worst case scenario, I will just buy the set from trooperbay.com Consequently, the numbers are Humbrol paint #21/Glossy Black, Humbrol paint #5/Dark Admiral Grey, and Humbrol paint # 14/French Blue.

Airborne Trooper[501st] Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Did you use a sealant on the gaps between the ears and the cheek tube? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
