Thanks guys , I'm still waiting for the machined tips, I will add new pics as soon as I get them. Also I might add a slight weathering, kind of a used look, nothing too dramatic.

 

Cheers

Brilliant Work Armando!!!!!!

[AJCG]

Brilliant Work Armando!!!!!!

Thanks Tom, I appreciate your kind words . Still not quite happy, weathering pass is coming this weekend and hopefully the mics next week. Them chin straps needs poppers and finally hard liner. It is a long project because ROTJ trooper are not as common as ANH or ESB.

Awesome work Armando...funds sent via PayPal

 

I agree with you and think you should slightly weather it to give it that 'Worn' look!!

 

Can't wait to see it finished!!

Those looks great on the helmet. I need to get mine installed on mine. DO you have a tutorial of how you made the plug?

[zsavk[TK]]

Any chance you can tell me what color grey you used on the ears? Is it Humbrol #5 Dark Admiral Grey? Also the black outlining. Is that Matte black or gloss/satin?

 

Im on this stage of finishing off my TE as well I hope it turns out as nice as yours!

[JoeR]

Looks really sweet A.

 

I say weather it, the originals had glue streaks all over them and were pretty crappy!

[Verne]

Finally finished! Awesome work

[AJCG]

Thanks guys to all of you. It is coming along nicely I think but still far away of what I have in mind. I know, I'm super slow I hope the wait will be worthy...

Zsavk, the gray color I'm using it is Humbrol #5,the black color in the helmet is the same for the ears cups as well. I hope this helps.

Thanks Joe, It is getting closer. Weathering will be a great plus I think. I would like to add different color tones. I'm not sure yet. I'm currently studing some pics to do that.

 

Finally finished! Awesome work

 

Hey Verne,it is not ready yet, I still need to add the weathering, hard liner and poppers for the chin straps. I'm studing to add new decals as well. I'm glad you like it.

[zsavk[TK]]

Thanks Armando. Im going to get to work right now!

[AJCG]

Ok This is the las pics I took from this helmet I got in 2008. Iwill not think I will take more pics of it

I hope you enjoy it

All your helmet builds are an inspiration Armando and this is no acception

 

 

I am really looking forward to seeing some comparisons of the the TE and JoeR jedi lids....

[JoeR]

Thanks Mark

 

Not wanting to sound arrogant but mine are much closer to what you see on screen and a lot more accurate IMO!

 

Awesome work as always A, can't wait to see your JoeR build up.
