Good news, the helmets used mesh
WOW what a shot! Now, is that mesh over a lens or just mesh? Where would one find mesh that tight?

True, fair points. I'll do a search for this mesh. I'll also post pics of my boot soonHonestly, I'm 100% positive it's just straight mesh. There's no reflection or shimmering. Plus, it just wouldn't make sense to use a lens when you're using mesh-it's redundant. Mesh removes the whole fogging problem. Disney did this for select character costumes for their disney parks.
The other thing is that the eye slot is so narrow that even on film, you wouldn't see anything but black anyway
Ok, so that's 2 hours I'll never get back! After seeing these new photos that were released I just had to see how close I was with my 3d snow trooper helmet. I tried to duplicate the straight-on shot as best I could to get a comparison. I hate doing this because it makes me want to go back and tweak some more but I already started printing the top part or "dome" of the helmet so that part I will leave as is. I hate being so picky!

Looks really good! The biggest critiques I am noticing is that your aerators/tube connectors are missing some details and maybe the black line above the eye-slit could be a little thinner, but pretty spot on otherwise
Yes, the little "mics" are not finished and are missing the little square pieces. The black line issue will just be a matter of how it's painted. Even the studio helmet has some less than perfect paint details. The flame trooper detail lines are a great example of that.
Before I paint my second boot, any thoughts on my first based on those pics? If it doesn't look too great I'll try something else.

Awesome thanks! I didn't want 2 bad boots xP haha so I guess total I've spend $92 on both boots, $80 on the boots and $12 on the paint. Better than buying a $250 pair of rare white Canucks hahaIt looks good to me to be honest. I own a pair of the white and black versions too
I just got some, I think it's what Watson has, but I need to compare it again. If it looks right I'll send you which one I got. From Joannes as wellDoes anyone have a link to the fabric?
Does anyone have a link to the fabric?
Well, this isn't just a build thread, it's a general TFA Snowtrooper thread, so really everything gets shared and discussed. I'm sure wasili and the other guys building stuff will start separate threads on their ownWhat happened to this thread?!? It was an awesome step by step and show off thread of Wasili's build which was way worth being subscribed to ...
Now, people are writing about what size of boots they bought and Wasili's gone silent!
Is he just more polite than me?

Not much sharing though.
