    Here is a tutorial, where everything is explained. Also the changes to be made must. But consider, the mate Noel has made the hardcore version ;) -

    ..and this is my threat of the hardcore-modding with the desired changes-

    http://forum.whitearmor.net/index.php?showtopic=6506

    A little list with the changes:

    *Blue tupestripes

    *Split between the segments fill

    *Darker green lenses

    *Screws at both ears

    *Accurate mictips

    *The fourth hole in tooth-line make free

    Ok, and the rest is freestyle B);):P:lol:

    Cheers....

    Thanks, I have everyone on these forums to thank. I have read every post and every tutorial and came up with the best solutions. I purchased everything from people on these forums. I am going to apply for EIB status shortly after I am accepted into the 501st. This is a great hobby!

    For the test attempt looks it well....but for the EIB you must for example the abdomen plates on edge together to add. That is now only one example which me on the first view was noticeable...

    If one is going for strict screen-used accuracy, then yes. The screen-used suits were meant to be neither practical nor reusable for any length of time. Such is the nature of film props.

     

    However, most people also want some functionality. When trooping for hours in the summer heat - something that the folks who troop Star Wars Weekends in Florida or that will troop C5 and/or DragonCon are going to become quite familiar with - I would think any little bit helps. In the end, it's true that the extra cooling benefit may not outweigh the departure from screen accuracy and the time/money/effort expended - but there's no way to find that out (without doing some pretty complex computational thermal modeling & analysis) unless you actually try it and see how it works.

     

    However, creating a passive thermal control system (and that is what you'd be doing by painting the inside black) adds a certain 'cool' factor (no pun intended) in actually being able to claim that your suit has it's own built-in thermal control system. B)

    That's the jumping point.... ;)

    If one makes oneself many the work now and it not functioned, then one make the whole dirt to wipe off... :huh::(

    I wouldn't do it, I'd be too afraid of getting black paint on the outside of the pieces.

    I think also….straight with thin plastic parts. there could divide to appear darker. However one could submit a white primer...so that black through does not gleam. That is then however afflicted with heaps a work :huh:

    :P

    I have with my PT-helmet made… however that was only the lid.... ;)

    But Noel, i know which you mean/think.
