Viper0222 Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Hi all! Having a blast building our first helmet with my son. It seems to be going better than I would have thought. Currently on the waiting list for the the rest of the ATA armor. Couple of questions, if I may: 1. We are using Testors paint for all the painting. We just got the the teeth done, but now looking at other pics it looks like maybe we should have used flat black instead of the same gloss black that we used on the vocoder and mic tips. What is standard for this? My son did such a great job on the teeth I would really hate to have to redo them! 2. I intend to purchase the proper ESB decal set to finish it, probably from Trooperbay. Is there a particular set that will match the gray Testors paint (#1138)? Will the "Classic Trilogy" set work? Some of the sets look a bit blue. Any alternatives? 3. Any comments on the build pics? The one thing I know is the ear gaps are a little more than I would like, but I think they are acceptable at this point. Any and all comments very much appreciated. This is my first thread post on FISD, so please let me know if I screwed something up. Thanks, Matt H. Vacaville, CA Quote
Harbinger[IPM] Posted December 29, 2017 Report Posted December 29, 2017 Testors 1138 is a cooler gray, FWIW. 1 Quote
ABS80 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Actually it's semi gloss black for the vocoder and mic tips not gloss black which is way too shiny Mark (AP) Edited December 29, 2017 by ABS80 Quote
