That's how I'm doing it but no joy. Thanks

Imgur is just as easy to use if Photobucket doesn't work out.

Just sign up, upload your images, and copy+paste the BBCode of the images in your forum post. Example:

Will give it a go. Thanks

Every story must have a beginning, adapting ANH kit

 

[mikedwelle94[TK]]

Very nice sir. I would recommend taking some cotton swabs + paint thinner and tidying up some of your paint edges just a little bit. Can't wait to see this with some weathering on it! Loving the bubble lenses.

The red paint should be reaching up to and meeting the bottom edge of the black frown - no white plastic should be visible between the bottom of the frown and that red paint. Easy fix.

 

Subscribed and watching. 

[spotter301[501st]]

Thanks. Yep lots to do still

Really? Who is the maker of the helmet kit? Do you have pictures of that and the ears? Any ear cap from any vetted maker should fit any helmet from any vetted maker, once trimmed properly.

How's everything else coming along?

I'll take a look at the lid again. I'm waiting on decals, green bubble lenses and armour trim. Oh and the armour itself. Ordering undersuit on monday.<br>

On the plus side my DLT19 arrived this morning

New 4 bar ears from my lid maker

Green lenses are in, time to trim those ears!

All these shock troopers are really tempting me. Haha! Good luck on your build!
