Work

Daaaaamn. Where'd this come from?

Yeah, dunno if he's still making them or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kevin Weir. I agree. Not a fan at all of Anovos's paint job. Especially for the price. But if you're going for the full on accurate paint job, the inaccuracies on the other helmets may bug you enough that repainting the Anovos may be worth while to you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The most accurate sculpt would be Anovos. Followed by KW and BSP though BSP is missing the black trim.

Yeah the spacing on the boxes looks a little off but the size isn't too bad. Weathering looks good, just a little heavy on the helmet. Lookin good otherwise!

The first thing that needs to be done with any Jimmi kit is to sand the insides of the entire kit down really well with some heavy grit sandpaper. The back is raw shards of fiberglass and it will cause extreme irritation if you don't. Make sure you wear a mask. You don't want to breathe that stuff. I'd give a light sand to smooth out the outside too with some light grit paper. Other than that it's really up to you what you want to work on first.

I'm not super familiar with KB's kit, but if you've had people vouch for it that may be the way to go. Jim Tripon's kit can be modded for bigger guys but the shins pretty much need to be replaced. They're pretty tiny. No matter what kit you get you're probably going to have to do a bit of modifying.

The bsp armor is molded in a tan color but needs to be painted. The anovos helmet is a close color but not an exact match to the screen accurate paint color (Montana Gold Sahara Beige.)

Not particularly. Fiberglass might be a little bit more of a pain to work with due to the glass element but resin isn't that much better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They're fairly similar really. Fiberglass might be a bit lighter.

Good job!

Looking good!

"Sand" is actually the proper color but Havana or Elk could be made to work. Many are using havana.

Check out this thread. http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=16286&st=0

It's a pretty basic yellow. Some are using shock yellow from Montana.

This is true. I also don't need them in the ST because the bottom of the helmet allows so much air in. Scout helmets are much smaller on the inside.

At this time there is not really need for a helmet specific section. Back Vents: For level 1 yes if its backed with black mesh so that you could not tell the difference. For level 2 no. I have yet to see any screen used helmet have open vents so that's not going to be allowed. Personally I'd advise against it. I just don't see those little vents making that big of a difference once you've covered the hole with mesh anyway, and you're limiting yourself from potentially going after level two. Padding: This just came up the other day. Check out this thread: http://forum.bikerscout.net/index.php?showtopic=17042 Electronics: This one's up to you pretty much. There are vents in the backpack so I don't see a problem with mounting it back there. Just can't be visible.

I would say he's good to go.

Welcome, we'd love to have you start a build thread over in the Shoretrooper section.

Welcome back. Yep we are the home of the shoretrooper, we've got a bunch of great build threads going in that section. I'd recommend checking those out to get you started!

Hey man, here is a pretty close option that comes in a bunch of different sizes. Just need to weather them up. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01993HTWA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_RaNadpnpHbRjf?th=1&psc=1

For some reason I had it in my head that they made some larger sizes. Hold on I'm checkin with someone I believe also wears a 14.

No those have too many differences from the movie used. We're really recommending Orca Bay's while you can get them, but if size is an issue Imperial Boots have a very close to accurate design.

Gonna need a pic/link bud.

Mr Paul has an awesome weathering step by step thread located here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39259-howto-shoretrooper-helmet-painting-tutorial-by-paul-prentice/page-1 One thing to note from your new pics, The elastic on your "TD/Pringles can" is definitely too big currently. It should be around 1.5-1.75 inches.
