trooperduper Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Hey all, I'm new at this and hoping I could get some experts' opinions. I just received my AP armour and painted the bucket frown today. I'm not sure if I should repaint it though, I think I may have masked too high and some of my teeth look too short, especially on the left side of the frown. What do you guys think.. leave it as is or repaint to make my bucket longer in the tooth? Thanks!

T K[501st] Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 It looks fine to me. Maybe post photos from other angles to get better input? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zv288bot[TK] Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Yeah, nice and smooth and shiney! What paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooperduper Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I used Testors 1138 Gray, it looks to be a pretty good match for the decals that came with the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T K[501st] Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Oui. You should be fine. And a very good paint job as well, nice and clean. Edited August 8, 2016 by T K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T K[501st] Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Oh, I'd suggest you read through this. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/tutorials/article/48-posting-images-in-threads-2015/ It will be a lot easier to upload photos this way.

ABS80 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Looks very good, actually the original were hand painted without using masking tape so the unevenness you see on yours is perfect, too straight looking will look odd and not match the painted on decals.

ABS80 Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 BTW use bowl of water and add 1/2 a drop dishwashing soap to apply your decals and avoid airbubbles, just wet surface apply decals then rub decal to remove all water and dry with paper towel.

trooperduper Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Thanks everyone for your opinions on this! I will leave it as is and move on to the ear painting. And thanks Mark for the decal advice, I will definitely use that technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
