Alay[501st] Posted July 7, 2017 Report Posted July 7, 2017 Hey all, Just finished assembling/painting/setting up the interior of my ESB style helmet (AP). I was looking for some feedback and had a couple of questions... I feel like the brow is a little too low. Should I tilt it up higher? If so, how high? The ear paint I used didn't dry to quite the right color to match the decals. These are the Trooperbay ESB decals... can anyone recommend a good color match for the ear paint? Acrylic or Enamel is fine. Anything else particularly ugly/something I should clean up? Quote
Locitus[Admin] Posted July 7, 2017 Report Posted July 7, 2017 Yeah move the brow up 2-4 cm and paint the ear screws white. 1 Quote

Alay[501st] Posted July 9, 2017 Author Report Posted July 9, 2017 Removed the ears and pulled the brow up a bit. Looks much nicer now. Unfortunately, the trim I bought seems to have caused a yellow "burn" on the abs... it seems to rub off with a cloth/novos/elbow grease, but I'm a tad worried about using the trim again now... Does rubber normally react with ABS like that? o.O Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted July 9, 2017 Report Posted July 9, 2017 Not had any issues with rubber and ABS before, maybe someone else will chime in. 1 Quote
Novak Dimon[TK] Posted July 10, 2017 Report Posted July 10, 2017 Perhaps the manufacturer of the trim used some kind of oil to protect or preserve the rubber that caused the yellowing of the ABS. You can clean the trim and try again on some scrap ABS. Cheers Christian 1 Quote
