Need some Ep 3 clone helmet painting tips

[Nataku]

Hey everyone,

I'm about ready to start the details (brow, teeth, grey parts) of my clone helmet but I'm unsure about how to go about it.

When I did my scout helmet I brushed the details but wasn't that thrilled about the outcome. I was thinking about taping it up and spraying this time around. Is that a better way to go or should I brush again?

Either way, what paints should I use?
All tips will be helpful,

Thanx.

Which Ver 3 clone are you doing ? (Shocktrooper, 501st, Utapau, etc)

I may leave it white or go with star corps. since it must have been copied from one, the lines are on the helmet.

Hey Whitecomando - I don't want to hijack this thread, but what is your opinion of the Master Replicas 212th Utapau Clone Trooper helmet?

I'm considering starting a clone costume. I'm 6'1 and 175 lbs. I don't have a big head so I expect it will fit me - I just want it to look correctly proprtioned.

And where should I look for the rest of the stuff I'll need?

Thanx for the tutorial WC. What color grey did you use?

Do you mask in between the teeth or just around the mouth?
