Burt's Squad Leader

[Burt]

Hey there, 

This is my second 501st build. My first approved kit is a Tank Trooper. 

 

Here's the helmet I'm working on while I wait for my BBB from 850 armor works. This is a 3D print, the V2 by Sean Fields. It is a one piece print, on my CR-10S. 

 

 

 

This is after 2 coats of Sahara Beige (boy that stuff was weird to work with, I'm used to good ol fashioned RUSTOLEUM lol). I did weathering by gently placing toothpaste on the edges and painted over, wiping back once the paint dries. Next, I'd like to do several blackwashes but I'm still deciding exactly what method I'd like to use (not sure if I want to buy an airbrush for this)

There's still more I want to do to this before I call it complete, but I wanted to share where I'm at since I'm pretty happy with how its turning out already!

Hey welcome Burt!

Helmet is looking good.   Can't wait to see the rest of your build.  I'm building a Shore captain right now.  It's an interesting process for someone that is only used to Scouts!

Welcome Burt!

Helmet is looking good, but I want to note that the eye bags should be black and stop before the middle/nose. These are not 100% accurate in Sean’s files.

Also the thin recessed area next to the blast shield should be black.

Sorry for the bad updates. I'm terrible about WIP threads. App pics have been sent in after talking with my GML. Should have some good words here soon. Here's some pics I had done on Scarif
