justjoseph63[Staff] Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Greg has done a spectacular job on his helmets, as well as the rest of his FO armor. His eye for detail knows no bounds! I will be trooping with him this Saturday, and am looking forward to seeing his debut in person. Looking forward to your build thread, Isaac! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadvision[TK] Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 What's the general consensus on paint? Is there a specific type of Spray paint to use that handles flexing? And to blend in with other troops? Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukswrath[Staff] Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yellow and black? haha yes. In the world of professional painting to achieve a certain color sometimes requires blending many others. In the case of the Anovos recommended white spray paint, when color matched my painter's machine came up with those particular codes. There are others that had their armor professionally painted as well, I wouldn't be surprised if all our paint codes differ slightly. To the naked eye it's the same color white. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadvision[TK] Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Little White bag day. Nothing to special. Do I need to glue it to the nylon? Seems redundant? I'm sure there is a reason though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadvision[TK] Posted March 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Another small update. Driving myself nuts trying to make decals for my Mitcheg1 bucket. As you can see its not working out too well. May just have to use paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UT Trooper[TK] Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I painted a FO helmet and those areas came out bad for me. I recommend to keep on trying with the stickers! Oh and I received my Jim armor yesterday! The box was roughed up badly but luckily the only damage was to the TD, which should be easily fixed with bondo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitcheg1[501st] Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Little White bag day. Nothing to special. Do I need to glue it to the nylon? Seems redundant? I'm sure there is a reason though. I found that once the belt boxes were secured through the various layers of the belt, it stays together quite well. Check out Tony's build thread (UKSwrath) for guidance on this.

Oh and I received my Jim armor yesterday! The box was roughed up badly but luckily the only damage was to the TD, which should be easily fixed with bondo. That's the reason I'm trying to get the decals down. I know I'll botch the paint for sure.
