That was the original plan. I still may add el panels behind them.

This project had been sitting around for a year. I moved on to other helmet builds because I knew this one would take an age to sand. I printed it at 0.3mm when I first started 3d printing. My printer is a cheap kit from China and I had an issue with z wobble when I first put it together...

It was too clean for my liking so I weathered it. Now I think it's a bit too dirty ffs :D

Yes they should fit yours fine. It was pretty frustrating looking at models that are only just bigger than my build plate. I didn't want to scale them down so started chopping :D For example the largest side on the blast shield for the shore trooper is 210mm and the main dome section is 235mm.

I wish I had a Prusa lol, This was all done on a crappy Tevo Tarantula. Your build plate will fit the original models on it as that what it was split for originally. I couldn't really say how much I used for this one. I was printing in between changing filaments for other things. I had a...

Thanks. If you have a build plate bigger than 200x200mm grab all the files (including armour) from shoretrooper.co.uk If not then grab the ones I chopped on thingiverse. Tank trooper: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2891530 Shore trooper: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2633285 I really...

Not too long ago I made one of Sean Fields Shore Trooper helmets and was so impressed with how easy it was to put together with all the registration tabs I thought I'd give his tank trooper helmet a go. Shore trooper thread https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=283862 All the parts needed...

Thanks, I'm really pleased with this one.

Totally forgot about this thread. So I managed to paint it and weather it. I pretty much followed the white armour thread for painting. It had a coat of rustoleum cast iron, then a coat of the hammered brown and then I went straight to the sahara beige. For weathering I used black and burnt...

No, they feel solid. I use epoxy on all the joins. I wouldn't want to drop it though, there isn't much flex in them. I only have mine on display so strength isn't really an issue but I can just as easily wear them.

oops, I posted this a few days ago and it didn't appear so I posted again yesterday. Can a mod merge these thread with the other please: https://www.therpf.com/showthread.php?t=283902

I'm fully prepared and have already visited the fat bhudda :D I have a flat black for the black bits and need to go and get a red so will probably just try I must have missed ackbar's post whilst I was posting. Thanks guys. I'm going to do some reading before I start the spraying.

Lol a free 3d printer. I have to agree for a $200 printer the quality looks great. I have a tevo tarantula (a £200 kit) and it prints better than some £2000 branded printers I've seen. Could you link to where you got the model please? I have a roll of filament that I may as well turn into...

Wow your completed helmet looks great. Any chance you could link to the thread on white armour? As it's only a small bit of the helmet I might just grab the closest match I can find. Those montana sprays are expensive. Thanks, it's no where near completed though. I've only got the parts...
