i cant resist a bargain...!

ive been wondering when youd share it with our detachment, libations all around!

friendly bump, also updated with pictures for further clarification

do you have the model? i have jk2 but not installed

great recon, bell!

would anyone want to buy the helmet and complete it? say.. $60 shipped continental US? its about what i have in materials cost already. just needs some more bondo work on the face, a c-grade test cast of the dome and all casting rights are included!

recaster? come on, we aren't the FISD. you did yourself a favor lol

why would you paint it before? youll have a bunch of white trim lines everywhere and the glue won't bond because the plastics painted over. make it fit, then paint.

we're supposed to be expanding the detachment lol. stripes = spec ops

i haven't adjusted the lighting yet, well get some definitive colors soon

i come bearing gifts identical to snowy save for the blueish color. notice the stripes on the uniform as well. the textures are missing for the bacta tank and face

the abs they use is great stuff personally i would keep white as its acrylic capped. now the matte hips scootch uses i would paint since its already a little rough. anyway though, make it fit then paint it. you dont have to do the inside and i would avoid getting any on the inside for the sake of not adhering thus flaking paint all over your undersuit. srsly though its going to be a lot of work. to prep the surface wetsand with around 400 grit, preferably with a random orbital sander to make things faster, and a sanding sponge for the smaller recessed and curved areas. then theres 2 options, spray the krylon paint+primer then clear it and polish after dry, or use a thin coat of cheap primer but spray rustoleum professional enamel as a base. i used rustoleum for my helmet but without clear. if you clear it lay at least 3 coats, but its glossy and durable enough where i felt it wasnt needed. like i said you might just want to hold off and stay white. another option is using vinyl wrap, like advertisements on cars and window decals. you can get black in bulk and will survive trooping easier, plus if it tears its easy peel off and replace. cheaper and less work than paint as you dont need to sand or anything, but you have to be careful about air bubbles, so use a heat gun to help form around detailed areas.

the only reason i don't paint armor parts black is because after troops they'll be areas where paint rubs off. between the thighs near the crotch and the biceps under the shoulder bells. even if you pile on the clear coat you'll have to constantly maintain it.its not worth the trouble.

pretty much imperial medic without the bacta tank accessory
