Will post more shots when I get them on some troopers.
Wow, looks awesome - especially when I know the work you put into them! (even just one has nearly burned me out.)
what white paint did you use?
I tried so many spray whites and it seemed like the Tamiya was closest to the HT armor color.
Those look great Paul! Nice job.
Ohhh nice!
Have you ever thought of making the ROTJ buckets? The HT one is so wrong it hurts my head.
Thanks TB
Tell me about it. It's been a long process. The first couple helmets I used Vallejo Model Air White which was fine for the Sandtrooper bucket being weathered and all but it doesn't look too great on the regular clean trooper I did. Fine from viewing distance but the white isn't a vibrant white up close, plus the sheen of the gloss (Pledge Floor Care) doesn't shine as well as the Tamiya spray can i used on these last ones. Maybe just because the Vallejo white
It?s Tamiya TS-26 comes out fabulous except for trying to make the black band matte again - I didn't bother taping it off. I tried sanding the gloss off before applying the matte clear but some how it's still a bit glossy.
And you know the tedious steps of trying to make these look presentable. It's been A LOT of work that I just kept pushing back. I'm glad to have them finished.
I bought every rattle can I could but nothing seemed as close as the Tamiya (though even that isn't 100% match to HT.)
My bucket had a really pronounced seam running over the forehead that I just got sick of sanding. I have to do the decals and strip but I got knida burned out. After I did the Tamiya spary I then noticed that the sculpted jawline slots/vents were still visible. I'm just going to finish it and try to love until the Too Much Garlic one shows up (hopefully itlll just need paint, not months of freakin' sanding.)
God dang Paul!!!! Those trooper buckets look amazing!! The polish jobs are amazing!! I made a few helmets for Sandtroopers. Did you remake the decals?? Dude. Just beautiful stuff!!!
