well,we all know what the clones did to them...

 

[man_vs_machine]

looking good

 

[krieg-der-sterne]

added a little grey on the backside and some dark lines along the front
not sure,if i should use a satin finish on the helmet...
well,have to see,when my clone body arrives which fits best:satin or gloss

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

matching up the paint jobs is really tough.. sometimes I spray the whole lot. I like the matt finish as it is easier to weather up and washes go into the nooks and crannies better. But looking good!!!

 

[Crimsonbob]

Yeah i go all matt as well but its looking good

 

[krieg-der-sterne]

i will make my decision by the end of the week......maybe

 

[krieg-der-sterne]

just one question,dorgmal:how can i pop ther helmet on the trooper,it is a bit narrow?should i use some hot water to make it softer,or work on the neck?

 

[Dorgmal Snow]

There are many different options but to be honest the easiest is to do exactly that. Warm it up a little and push it on to the next. The bucket has to sit down close to the shoulders to look right I think.

well,i finally found the time for some painting.i definitely work too much.still not finished with the job,but repainted the helmet with a different white,fits better with the armour i think.and added some orange.maybe i can work on it at the weekend
orange appears brighter than it is because of flash
