If you are going to paint TM's way is how you do it. You can get pin striping tape at any auto parts store.

Damn! I joined the Army in 1989! Man I feel old right now....Not as old as Scott, but still...

Well said Paul.

WELL ITS REAL.....Here come the $5.00 helmets!!!!! I bet Matt sold Rubies his TE3 molds J/K

Wow thats actually pretty good pics there. He's right you need to go a bit more there. Round the corners in the back and that will help alot.

I am going to edit your pics to show you what to do... Stand by.

OK it took me a few hours but I have all the images back up. Thanks for your suggestions guys.

Nice to have you in command.

Nice having you here Ed.

That run is not that bad. I would take a step back from that helmet for a week and let it cure. If the run still bothers you after its had a chance to cure, just wet sand it with 800 or 1000 grit wet or dry sand paper. After its lightly sanded hit sanded area with some novus plastic polish. If it brings out the paint then I would try hitting the whole helmet with novus. You can also try a nice car wax. I really dont like Krylon Fusion at all for high gloss painting. Its a really easy paint to use, but it never really shows a nice ABS like gloss. Its not a bad paint for Sandtroopers or roughed up clones though. I have discovered that on most paints if you lay a coat down and let it sit for 5 minutes and then re-coat, wait 5, re-coat wait 5, it loooks pretty darn good. Of course you will want to make sure that yoou have prepped the surface well and made sure its smooth, dust free and oil free. Paint in an area that is not windy, cold. Never paint at night with the porch light on..... Bugs love fresh white illuminated paint...I dunno why. Always follow the cans directions, and dont buy cheap paint unless you want a cheap finish. Thats about all I can think of. I look forward to seeing your helmet finished!

My first set of armor was the RT. Thats your best bet dude. Seriously. its a snap to put together and it actually fits better than the AP. Its very glossy and sturdy too. Change out the helmet or not. Its not a bad lid.

The correct testors grey is 1138. Looks OK, but hard to tell from this distance.

Yep, Empire. But I do love A News Hope too... The rest hmmm. OK I guess.

Hahaha!!! It was a great game. I really enjoyed it. I am kinda new to football so it was incredible to watch NY make the plays to win. Brady was getting his butt slammed to the ground on every play. I didnt have a favorite so I guess thats why I liked it so much. Plus a free Tom Petty concert

AGREED! Brady was being punished out there. The Giants knew keeping him in check was the only way. It would have been awesome for the Patriots to win. 19-0 would have been incredible on top of the Super bowl. To see the Giants pull it off all in the 4th was great though. Manning is an awesome QB though his receivers couldnt catch the ball most of the game.

WHAT A HUGE FREAKING UPSET!!!! YES!!!! WHAT AN AWESOME GAME!!!!

Oh, maybe. I was having problems with fileden too. It just stops occasionally.

crap, I hope not... I JUST registered and started uploading photos!

My web host for photo's has expired. So all the pictures for the tutorial I did for the TE2 bumpy cap n back are all missing. I am working on a pdf version and I hope to have that done soon. At some point I hope to get the pics back up too.

I think so... I googled it and clicked images. It appears to be black. You can always use any satin black enamel too.

Just google Humbrol ad grey.. Here is a link I found just now... http://www.michtoy.com/MTSCnewSite/supplie...ol/Humbrol.html
