Thanks,man.

Thanks.

So..and now complete with stand and plaque...

I always use Milliput fine from the UK.Great stuff.

Thanks guys!

This thing looks so terrrible. I´m so glad that I built my own RS bucket for the half of the price of this EFX.

Thanks..yes I used Tamiya "Dark Sea grey".Think its a good compromise.

Ok...I painted my helmet black from the inside..so I can use the RS headband.But I attched it only with very strong velcro on the top and with a wide stripe to make it really stable inside the helmet.Works very good. Painted my helmet like the hero helmet from "Corporal Oberk" in the ROTJ scene with princess leia...here some fast shots from the kitchen table.. : Has his place in my Detholf now...:

Ah great..thanks for the pics.I also will use hotglue or ultrastrong velcro. Sprayed the grey snout and the caps with a brighter grey...must look how it looks under daylight tomorrow. How long did you cut your straps?

Thanks guys...I think that I will use a compromise between the darker nosesticker from RS and the visorscrews to match the snout also. Oh and has somebody a pic and tips how the elastic straps are attached into the helmet?Are they glued on the inside?

Thanks for the pic and tip. Sadly I cannot buy this color here in the EU.But I have lots of airbrush grey tones in my workshop,so I think one color should be very close.So I think that I must paint the snout also more bright...but after that it will no longer match the dark grey on the RS stickers. Oh and whats with this sticker?All other stickers I must put in water before,right?But this one also?I can very easy release it from the paper..but it glues not really strong.

I´m looking for the right grey color for the snout and the visorscrewcaps...is both the same?In the movie the snout looks darker as the screwcaps?When I wanna match the RS-Stickers,the visorcaps are looking too dark.

Wow great...for me Strider is spot on.Could somebody send me a PM where I can order a strider armor? An armor comparison from the back would be also great to see.

Thanks.

Ok...cut out the 8th vent also...: And molded a new vent area:

Thanks man..that helps a lot.

I have a question about the paints: You use glossy white over grey primer,right? Clearcoat or not?If yes..also over the stickers? What a black do you use behind the snoutgreeblie?Matte,semigloss or gloss?

Thanks for the fast answer. I will do what you said.

So my helmet is ready for painting now. What colors are correct?White glossy or semigloss? The black for the snout matt or glossy? And how did you fixed the dark visor in the facemask?Found no pic of this area online.

Has anybody an idead what this "screws" are?

Yes..it comes all in pieces.Here is a pic of my kit out of the box:

Ah,thanks for the info.Now I understand it.

Thanks,man.But what means "fubar factory"?There is no translation in german.

So here is my Scout helmet from RS so far... Next step is to drill the holes for the screws...must I use the markings from RS that are in the mold? They are not in the middle...or must I drill exact in the middle of the round area?

I will use a grey that looks like the one on the RS-stickers.tamiya should have one.
