kiyotei[TK] Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Nice work but you should really wear a mask when spray painting. There's a lot paint in the air that you are breathing in. Watching the ear drilling and also the scoring parts made me think that some one needs to now make a parody video of you. Do you recall the Julia Childs Saturday Night Live parody where she cuts whole limbs off? So very funny. I think some one could do the same with you, drill a hand, score a finger off, etc. I'd do it but I don't own a video camera. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThayNerd[TK] Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I use a mask now. After I finsihed sraying my ESB helmet my girlfriend made a comment about all my nose hairs being white. Yuck my poor lungs. Needless to say I now wear a mask when using a rattle can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK6631[501st] Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Fantastic videos Mike, I am sure people will find these invaluable. I know I will as I have just ordered a helmet to replace my MRCE - thanks for sharing them with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naatsirhc[TK] Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Mike, You may of lost the thrill of trooping, but you sure bring a lot to the table for everyone! I am getting ready to start on my bucket and armor. I found your videos to be very informative. Thanks for sharing them. Christaan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4510[501st] Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Thanks guys. I do love me some Star Wars! Its true... I dont have the waistline for trooping and the desire to do yet another B-day party has waned, but I love building and being a part of this community. I hope to add to this thread soon and show decal placement and finishing the lids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GosHawk[501st] Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I have to say I've been watching your vids and the forum post you did over and over again as my dad and I have been working on my very first set of armor. you make it look to easy lol, did you need to trim the bottom part of the back cap at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-4510[501st] Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Depends.....Most of the time the TE2's are trimmed just right. Occasionally I will clean the back end up. Mostly I trim the areas around the ears on the faceoplate and cap n back to match them up perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougefresh Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 These videos are unbelievably helpful, Mike. I've never taken a stab at building and painting a styrene helmet before, and these are a fantastic reference. I'm still pretty nervous about it, but I feel WAY more prepared after checking these out. I'll be dragging the laptop around my entire build, without a doubt. Thanks for taking time to share these with us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
