Koryu1212(Dan D)[501st] Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Using Burnt Umber and "Oily" mix of Burnt Umber, Mars Black and Unbleached Titainum acrylics, based on PandaTroopers tuitorial, I started the weathering process... Coated the entire helmet in Burnt Umber... And with a damp brown t-shirt and baking soda I started lifting off the paint... First pass done... Next, added the dark "Oily" mix starting with the back...Now that I look at that picture...I see Mimbian Trooper Results from "Oily" pass...

Koryu1212(Dan D)[501st] Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 Interior pad set install...The Aker and iPod had to be removed since I could not get the feedback issues resolved I also lined the helmet with neoprene as well for stability and heft...I also used acorn nuts to cover the tips of the screws. For the "S" seal...I left approximately 1" over the length of the hole and pushed it together and so far it has remained in place via compression...
