Getting closer

This is my very first build,  and first project with a 3D printer. My friend 3-D printed all the parts (28 pieces)  and I have done all of the  assembly,  filling,  tons of sanding, and painting (the part is the hardest for me). 
 

I have taken everything down to a 2000 grit sand paper we sanded to make it super smooth and will be buffing the paint to get it super glossy.

 

As I wanted to have fun with it I went beyond the painting for the face and rear vents and the grey visor pieces.  It may not be screen correct,  but I wanted to try to make it special.  The vents were all hand cut from a thin piece of plastic. 
 

Because it was 3-D printed it didn’t require the ear screws…but I felt it needed them so I countersunk the screws and added them to the build. 

 

I know it is not perfect…but I have put in a ton of work.  I still have to do the pinstripes on the ears (and I’m realizing I got the angle wrong….not sure if I can pop them off or not),  some paint touch ups, and to figure out the lenses,  but I am proud of it so.  Let me know your thoughts!
