TK-4510, It's really a very nice tutorial thank you for it ! :)

 

 

Now I want to build a TE kit !

 

But first I have to collect a lot of pictures and to read a lot of topics and this forum is very nice for that.

I third the motion for photos of the interior finishing (i.e. chin straps, foam, hardhat liner). Much appreciated. Phenomenal thread all around.

One word....

 

Unbelieveable.....

 

 

Amazing tutorial.

 

Thank you for the time that you put into this thread.

 

...and, of course - beautiful helmet!

The Humbrol paint is great paint but as with all great paints its got rules... #1 shake the can for at least a minute straight. #2 stir the contents for at least a minute....

 

One thing I'd like to add to this. For any smallish paint containers one uses -- Humbrol, Testors, Polly 'S', whatever -- I recommend picking up one of these.

Thanks soooo much for this tutorial. It's huge help with my AP and I've bookmarked it for the day I add a TE2 to my repertoire...

I got my TE2 helmet today and I already made a shopping list of all the things I need to complete my helmet! I'll be looking at this tutorial quite a bit in the next few weeks! :)

I have to pop back in here to say how grateful I am for this walkthrough, now that I'm building this helmet myself. Some things are blatantly intuitive after years of modelling and converting. Some things I keep having to refer back here. Some things I'm following your lead to the letter. Other things I'm deviating quite on purpose to see how things come out differently. *heh*

 

Thank you again for doing this for the community. :)

I know, right? They just disappeared.

 

They can't have just dissappearded. No pic that small has a cloaking device.

Sorry guys. When I pulled my website from the hosting server I threw out the wrong files.....and some of the TE2 build were being hosted there too!!! I will see if I can get this figured out soon!!

Yay! since you requested it. It's the least I could do. :lol:

 

Got a question on the paint how would you correct scuffs in it just start over from scratch? It doesn't, from your description, sound too forgiving. It really has a fantastic shine to it though.

Hey Mike, did the pictures go away again or is my computer acting up? :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nevermind- my compter just needed a swift kick in the backside. (REALLY need this tutorial and was starting to sweat when the pics didn't show...)

Guys, do any of you ever put some material in between the face plate and the top? (under the brow). There is a little space there on mine. Thanks!

Posted

Besides the brow trim nothing is there on both of my TE2s.

Just a quick tip....

 

I got the BONDO at Wal-Mart

Professional White Gloss Enamel at Lowes or Home Depot

Painters Touch Sandable Primer at Home Depot (Not sold at my Lowes)
