look's way better than mine, I think I need to redo my tube stripes now.

I just used the decals. I hate to paint so I went the easy route .

I do have to paint the ears and I did the teeth! That's 40% hand painted no?

Here is a picture. I've sold my ATA helmet so I don't have the two to compare but here is the most recent S trim I purchased from Trooperbay.

It is consistent with what I have. You should be fine with it.

Actually I forgot about the vocoder part so really it's more than 40%! Now I am thinking more like 47.7% hand painted.

 

Bro, your armor looks so cool and shiny in your pics. Totally not giving yourself enough credit.

 

Also I had my first boo boo last night. When I was going to rough cut the second ear for whatever reason I grabbed the ear that I already trimmed and cut a line across the top of the ear. I'm gonna ABS paste it or maybe just leave it.

I just now noticed how different both of these are...

It's all good, just didn't really look until I painted (only cause I didn't get decals ) them.

 

Onward!

Thanks bud. They look fine! Is that cut right through? Or is it just aesthetic. You could totally use Novus on that it'll come out I love that stuff.

Here are my ear rank stripes.

 

I'm seriously thinking I am using the stickers on the Ab buttons!

What's wrong? Even on the movie used helmet, lines are a bit shaky. Unless you're one of those weirdos that like idealized instead of screen accurate, leave it be and hand paint everything.

Buy me a round trip airline ticket and I'll do it for you ;) I haven't been "home" in a few years. Wouldn't mind catching a Braves game just to watch them win last place in MLB.

Alrighty now... With the exception on wiring for fans and installing the hard hat liner I'm calling this done. Some bat's can fly in and out of the back side ears but hey, they keep mosquitoes away.

Agreed..looks good!

 

 

I even hand painted my TD!

Thanks guys. The frown, ears and vocoder are painted by yours truly, the rest are Mark's awesome stickers!

Ok, so I feel like the forearms need extra love that I am not willing to give them right now so I am starting from the bottom up. So tonight I work on the shins!
