More progress with the mouth gaurd. I filled in the piece I cut out and built up the bottom edge around the lenses. Also shot a filler primer coat on the sabers.
Still alot of work to do on these but it all started to blend together. Now I can see where I need to work with a shot of primer

I used styrene and also my knowledge and experience from building R2. Simple flat pack build ups.
So after a full work day, cutting grass and a few chores, I was able to glass my helmet and finally get some weathering paint on my m38 scope for the E11. Also you may notice some funny lines inside the helmet. This is a trick I like because it cleans up so much better. I have used tacky glue before to hold down my fiberglass mesh however, this stuff breaks apart so quick, you end up with hairy fiberglass hands. You still do with glue however, the glue pulls right off your fingers if you use Elmers wood glue.
Also had a little treat waiting for me in the mail today. It's my clamp from roman. I bought it along with the card for anikan starkillers uni body V2. I know he hasn't started it yet but I didn't want romans clamp to sell out.
I'm beat and done for the day. I want to check out the other threads and relax tonight.

The E11 blaster has already been painted in wrinkle paint. The scope paint is more of a flat dull coat over brass. Smooth as well vrs the sterling finish being bumpy.

I just ordered the last missing piece being the hengstler counter so it won't be long until I can finish this as well.
Loving the Kylo helmet!!

Finished weathering the scope for the E11. Just waiting on the hengstler counter to come in and I can assemble the rail that attaches to the blaster. I also have the power cylinders that I need to finish up. This piece is from field Marshall and it comes highly recommended

It's really easy to do. I use a hair dryer and hit the area I want to fill in, then take a crayon and rub it in. Then use a paper towel or soft cloth and wipe away the excess. Just repeat these steps until you are satisfied.
Tip 1- the hair dryer will warm the area to help melt the wax.
Tip 2- don't use cheapo or no name brand crayons. I like Crayola
This trick works great on any color so don't be affraid to play! Just heat until you feel warmth. You don't need to have it super hot. You can also warm up the crayon first if you are concerned about heat on your project.
ha i didnt think of that, a lot of guys use that trick to fill in the logo's on their fire arms. i didnt even think of the crayon trick! very clever!

It works the same way with enamel paint, revell or testors for example.
Did it on my multi with testors orange:

Aye, orange is always a good match with black oxide.
