There's always the one next year, take a break, get back to it, don't rush... Lots more Cons in future, and they're not the only troop we do either... Tonight hitting up Wal-Mart in helping out CMN, Children's Miracle Network... There are a ton of troops, so just be ready on your time, not ours.

Helmet exterior painted and decal'd and arm armour closed and stripped. No pics of the arms yet. I'm trying to go for a slightly batteworn look so I used some diluted black paint to mimic some soot marks.

need to look again in my research for the ESB Rank stripe rules

[Pyrates[TK]]

Great work Dave!

[Brattie[TK]]

Did you guys hear about the guy that sliced his hand wide open during the trimming and cutting of his kit???!!

 

As a friendly reminder because you guys are awesome.. be very careful!

 

[Pyrates[TK]]

No, is he okay?

[Pyrates[TK]]

I'll admit I used my exacto very rarely- I liked the control and accuracy in the cuts with my Wiss snips (yes it was a bit slower but no leaks and no accidental scratches). To each their own though

[Brattie[TK]]

Looked like a lot of stitches.. Owwie! Cut-proof Gloves!

In all honesty from what you can see how are the black outlines on the ear bars... I had a face like this :L staring at them after.

Exterior done I looked at the cry and movie screen captures and made compromise

What's the compromise? Cry and screen captures?

[ComradeDave[TK]]

Oooops typo I meant crl lol

[ComradeDave[TK]]

Oooops typo I meant crl lol for the ear stripes I followed the screen captures some had 2 bars some had three on either side some were between the bumps some were on them so I made each side symmetrical with 3 stripes pics to come

Hopefully on the bumps, I know this is ANH style, but still...

[ComradeDave[TK]]

This is what I meant in ESB the stripes vary widely. I went off of screen shots and swhelmets.com

Looking good in my eyes... Don't see any problems lol
