marian_melinte01 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 I recently purchased the Anovos ANH stormtrooper helmet.I have seen that many people modify it.I plan on modifying the interior, ading Plasti-dip and cheesecloth, fixing the lenses in a better position, cleaning the edges of the "eyes", and cleaning a little bit the frown paint. Does this helmet need any modifications to be centurion aproovable ?I have read the CRL and it seems not, but other people are modifying the exterior also, like changing the screws and adjusting the ear parts.

allan1313[TK] Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 No. Those are fine. Only thing you need to do is paint the frown until the end. They didn't finish the paint job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote
marian_melinte01 Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Posted July 27, 2016 Oo, that easy, but what paint should I use? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
ukswrath[Staff] Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 At Centurion were requesting the correct ear screws be installed, some of the excess eye return edge be removed, the hovi tip mesh be changed out for the correct type, tube stripes be approximately a pencil width away from the face, no over spray on the frown teeth, and as mentioned the frown be extended. 1 Quote
T K[501st] Posted July 27, 2016 Report Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) I used this paint. It matches the Anovos paint, so all you need to paint is the ends of the frown.

LOL (or Humbrol #5)) and add the corners at that point. It's really easy to wipe it off and repaint it, and I suck at painting. Edited July 27, 2016 by kman 1 Quote

Good point, except for the painting skills which I have no opinion 1 Quote

ukswrath[Staff] Posted July 28, 2016 Report Posted July 28, 2016 There's another tutorial (a bit more detailed) replacing the screens, somewhere in the ANH stunt section I believe, if your interested. Quote

I believe this is the tutorial Tony is referring to: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/36456-anovos-hovi-mic-tip-mod/ I recommend a Chapstick tube for forming/shaping the replacement mesh. Perfect size. No need to tape up a battery like Chris did. Apparently they don't have Chapstick in Wales? LOL Edited July 28, 2016 by kman Quote

Alay[501st] Posted August 15, 2016 Report Posted August 15, 2016 with the correct shade of gray (Testors 1138... yes, really! LOL) You're kidding me... who's the wise guy over at the Testors factory? 1 Quote
