Well got the helmet primed for paint today (had no school, thanks snow )

 

 

I also ran out and grabbed some paint from Sherwin Williams. Here's what it looks like:

i think the you pinkish-red color needs to be a little more tanish but it might just be me

[ACJay[501st]]

Looks good to me. I think the lighting on the hunt area affected the color to create the tarnished look. It seems like there's alot of orange in that area that possibly caused the color palette to change slightly. I think the screenshots where the trooper is dsiplayed absent any outside influence is more similar to the color you've chosen FiveZero. But maybe using some clear coat like IZ did to mute the gold might help the coclor matching.

 

Looks good though

[Fivezero[TX]]

Thanks for the input guys, I will do some more experimenting with the color.

 

Anyway the helmet has started its path towards the dark side Got the first coat (hence why all the primer is poking through) of black on it today, hopefully get more coats on as the week progresses.

 

 

Drop boxes are also painted and ready to go.

cant wait for more

And the black is finished with this helmet. It's ready for its stripes now.

 

 

Also tried a clear coat on top of another strip of this red.

 

 

I don't know which I like better, hmm.

i think the middle one is the closest to the ref. img.

[ACJay[501st]]

They both look good. The one on the right looks like the action shots and the middle one looks like the display screenshots. Are they both real glossy. If so I would go with the middle one

[Rotccole]

Middle, nice work on this brother!

[izzi[TX]]

Those are pretty close, I think the middle is best.

[Fivezero[TX]]

The middle is what I was leaning towards and think I'll definitely stick with it. Thanks guys.

 

Just finished painting the stripes on this thing (the camera flash makes it look more pink and vibrant than it actually is). Just need to do some touch up work.

 

 

Now I need to get some lenses, trim and decals and it'll be finished.

 

Enjoy

[Rotccole]

Nice work brother!

[lunar lord]

awesome job

[Fivezero[TX]]

And Santa was nice enough to give me the last bits of armor for the Medic.

 

 

Already trimmed them out, now for paint.

 

Fivezero

[lunar lord]

you must have been a good trooper lol

[Fivezero[TX]]

And the helmet is done!

 

 

The handplates have been painted too and I have the black on the calf drying right now. I should be able to paint the stripe on the top of the calf tomorrow.

 

Fivezero

[lunar lord]

looks awesome

[Rotccole]

Can't wait!!

[izzi[TX]]

Looks pretty good. Tube stripes look a bit low, but they should pass.

[Fivezero[TX]]

Yeah, I thought they looked low too, thanks Izzi. I'll fix that tonight.

If I were tackling this project, I'd probably straighten the brow line out more. Not trying to sound nit-picky, but it is uneven. Hope this get's approved though. I'd consider this mod down the line.

[Fivezero[TX]]

So got the calf painted last week (didn't get a chance to post it until now).

 

 

Also did some final things to the helmet like moving the tube stripes up and some paint touch up. Now I need to finish up the Darktrooper pieces so I can get some arm armor.

 

Fivezero

[izzi[TX]]

Hmm... The knee plate looks slightly awkward. Looks like you're moving on this, though.

[Rotccole]

Pretty in Pink!

[izzi[TX]]

It's not pink, it's... light red?
