Redstar scout build

[oneredstar]

I begin. At the beginning. 3d printing  the armour. Thought to start with the mask to get the size right from the start. took a guess measurement and came out right. 23hrs single piece print. has a little jitter line right at the brow because I didn't put quite enough support and it wobbled for a couple layers before completing the bridge. very minor. sands right out. Most impressed that my hand slipped and got sliced on the sharp edge of some half clipped support. Was bleeding everywhere. None on the face mask, but at least I got my blood sacrifice for this project over with early.

That snout bridge doesnt look filled in, it needs to be filled in and a sticker placed over it.

Looks good so far.

Please note though, that if you have any interest in Lancer, then you'll need to fill in the indents on the forehead as well. Those markings also used a sticker on the original helmets.

Yes.  Fill in those gaps and just put a decal there.

I'm actually interested in this build going forward with the gaps.

So is the grill detail suppose to be a piece attached to the underside of the mask?

The half moon-ish looking hole above the snout area should have some sort of a part there, yes.

Cool we don't stop people from doing what they want to do, we are just here to give advice as to what is going to be 501st approvable.

The production helmets used decals and that's what we ask for.

I've got two inserts, one that is a grill and one that is slick for the sticker.

Here's an update with the nose bridge grill installed. Looks pretty slick like that. I'll model a piece to clip to it to hold the sticker. Sticker for trooping, vent for display.

it looks even better with the edging blacked out and the front painted grey.

Do more people troop with the "welding helmet" support or using foam padding inside the helmet? Seems like the padding would get rather warm vs the helmet headband. I have a grinding mask with a band that looks identical to the original ones, just with back knobs instead of grey. The color is an easyfix though.
