Hi Ken Nice

 

What's the iphone and control for?

[matt black]

A great start. Just a couple of small things. The teeth look like they could be filed out a little more and the trigger on the blaster should be black and the trigger housing just behind it should be silver. Did you build the blaster youself? It looks stunning

The only thing I see is the ears look like there is still some raw material left, Perhaps unscrew them and trim some more plastic to give them a cleaner appearance.

 

The thighs and shins look great. Excellent work with the cover strips.

Helmet mostly done painting, just have the tube stripes left:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also got my drop boxes done:

 

 

Tube stripes tomorrow.

[TK5492[TK]]

I see a few things with the paint. First, good on you for doing it by hand! Very proper. However, I feel that the black outline may be a little thick. Also, your rank bars seem to be a little over done. They should be a thin line rather than having the entire bump painted.

 

I would also still encourage you to re-trim those ears.

 

Other than that, coming along nicely. Remember to take your time, and make sure you have many many on screen shots close by to use as reference.

OK,LOL, here are the tube stripes:

 

 

 

Let dry over night assemble tomorrow.

[ramsesxv]

Done! :storm:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Belt and Harness left to do. Belt is ordered. :stdance:

[HawkTrooper]

Looking good!

 

What did you use as a lens material in your helmet?

[ramsesxv]

I traded my FX Thermal Detonator for them.

Maybe you have been moving a bit too quick on the helmet....

 

Here is a few reference images of a real hero helmet.

 

[ramsesxv]

not moving to quick, glad you can paint better or used decals. Been looking at source picture and models i have in house.

[Locitus[Admin]]

There's no shame in sanding down paint and doing it again. I've re-done my vocoder 3 times.

[Sonnenschein]

And while you're at it, fill the outer teeth with bondo.Hero has 6 teeth, stunt 8. And get some alternate style hand guards, mostly seen with hero helmets.

 

 

And please, trim the ears a little!

[ramsesxv]

not going to trim the ears

[matt black]

You also need to paint the ear screws and paint a thin black line around the grey ear piece. As others have said, you should trim the ears down a bit and try to re-do the black outlines on the tears and traps as they are very thick

Not trying to be a jerk or anything here but why would sink all this money into something and then be adamant about not taking the advice of those who are trying to help you do things correctly? You have actually got command staff and administrators giving you advice, that anyone can see is correct, and tell them that you aren't going to do it? Use some sense man, these guys know what they are talking about. If they say it isn't right, It is not right, period.

[ramsesxv]

I have a Admin Local telling me stuff too, and well if he says change it I do these other guys are not so helpful as you would think. Also, I have been working on the corrections he saw and the picture here are not the current painting and build step I am on. I listen to Brian, The Armor go to guy for the NoVA area.

So why have you started this topic, if you are not interested in any advice or critic and only listen to your local mate?

[ramsesxv]

my Friend and Admin asked me to post them so I posted.
