Starship trooper helmet

[stilgarhammer]

Hello,
Not sure what forum this should be in,
I need photos of a fleet helmet showing the brow area re-enforcement and eagle.

I am currently making one each of the helmets (MI and fleet). And have a couple questions, what true color are the helmets? How thick is the center section of the eagle on the fleet helmet?

Thank you,
Stilgarhammer

stilgarhammer,

I just repainted an MI helmet last night after some major repairs and the spray enamel I used is VERY close to the original color. I can post some side by side shots tonight. I'll also get the paint brand, it was just the darkest gray I could find at Home Depot, nothing fancy.

Okay, here they are. The first pic is without a flash and the 2nd one is with a flash. I think it's pretty close. The helmet on the left is from SST1 thru 3 just for reference. Actually the color looks much closer to me eye than it does in the pics. This was the darkest off the shelf gray I could find.

I used Rust-oleum Gloss Protective Enamel 7784 Charcoal Gray. Then 2 light coats of DullCoat because it was way too shiney. Although I may have just used one coat as it might be a little too dull now.
