Awesome , will work on that thank you!

What’s the best advice on handling the brow trim?

Well, I’d like to think besides the screen inside of the frown, the helmet is complete. Happy with the final product.

Thanks Glen, I had seen some helmets that went kinda how mine is and some that filled up the whole trap, I will change this and fill the trap in with gray and re outline, secondly , I worked and worked to get the back helmet lines as close as I could, those look good to you? thanks as always,

Got some more painting done , now back to the forearms and biceps. Tube stencils should be here tomorrow. The rest was hand done, no stencils, from looking at photos.

Got the front forearms glued yesterday onto the biceps today and maybe even some more helmet work.

awesome, I will glue to fronts tomorrow with the 15mm strips and add photos of the back and go from there and see what’s the best options appreciate it!

Thank you! So I have them fitted , and front ridges are good but the back ridge is bigger then my front , I am going to try and glue tomorrow. is it a huge deal if that back ridge is a little different from the front ridge? As long as both have 15mm cover strips? If so I’ll have to order new forearms. I misunderstood the first thing I read about sizing. lastly, when I line these up , to the tops parts matching there is excess material on the bottom. When I line up the bottoms there is excess at top. I can post photos tomorrow, but what do people usually line up and what side is trimmed ? Thanks again you’ve been a big help!

QUESTION TIME! Okay I have highlighted with blue where I left 7.5mm on the front ridge which will be covered with the 15mm cover strips So we are good there. Is there a rule of thumb of the back of the forearm? I will use a 15mm cover strip there aswell. On the back of the forearm where the cover strip goes does that size of ridge matter ? Or no as it will be covered with a 15 millimeters cover strip aswell. Lastly , when I start my biceps next, should I start with making each side 7.5millimeters on the front ridge on each piece that’ll be covered by the front cover strip and then size them from the back? thanks as always!

I got some more painting done today. I outlined the stuff I had previous just rough painted , and cleaned up the teeth as glen suggested. Next are tube stripes and the fine black lines in the grey areas. I was on trooper bay and have the tube stencils down to “ standard” and “hand painted” does anyone know what ones are used for a new hope stunt? Thanks for your time and any input as always!

Awesome, as always thank you for the feedback!🤜🏻

So I see I can clean up that front tooth, but do the others look better at this angle ? Not sure if that angle of that other photo made a difference, thank you!

Well another 6 hour day down , I am ready to start fitting all the big pieces. The past few days I’ve done nothing but trim the armor, today I wanted to change the pace and do something different. I installed the lenses , I used the ones that came with the kit. I forgot to take inside photos. But I mounted them to the top ear screw on the inside. I decided to rework my ears some more and for my first build , and spending hours on hours on them. I am content. I also laid down some paint , for not being an artist , and never doing this, I am pretty happy with how it came out. I still have details to do, and to paint the ear caps, but this is what I was able to accomplish today.

Been a long few days but feeling accomplished. Have to do the kidney and butt plate still, but making progress !

What’s your guys favorite “hand painted” details for A New Hope stunt bucket besides trooper bay? I’ve looked on Etsy and other places and have seen different “reviews” on them. Any advice is appreciated!
