Re: Yet another Stormtrooper helmet
We all know projects are never really finished...
Shortly after taking those pics, I talked to a good friend who had a suggestion for a more accurate blue to use on the tube stripes, so I obviously had to redo those. The new colour looks a lot closer to what we see in archive pics of the real lids, hoping I'll get a chance to compare it to the real ANH lid on display at Star Wars: Identities, as it is coming to Cologne this May (
OdiWan72: We better find a date to go there together
).
The second upgrade were new mic tips I just recently got from
Keith. While the RS one piece mic tips are decent, I needed something a little more accurate for this helmet. Keith was nice enough to send me a set of his cast from original three part tips. The visual difference might be minimal, but it's one step closer to making it a better forgery. I installed them just now and used the chance to snap a few more pics, so here goes:
It is really about time I start the accompanying armour build, but to be honest, I'm still collecting supplies for that. Finding vintage elastic is a major pain in the backside
