WTF Shadow Scout

[TK90262]

I will be receiving a Shadow Scout kit from WTF in a few months. I am looking for tips on helmet assembly. From assembly to filling in the seems, to what paint to match the rest of the black, formed armor.

Truth be told, there aren't a whole lot WTF helmet build threads. That said, you can look at these two threads for some additional visual info:

As for black paint, that's something best asked over at Spec Ops.  They are the experts when it comes to black armor!  We pretty much stick to white and beige around here.

Like Chopper said, there aren't many WTF bucket builds. One of our scouts in our garrison was having quite the difficulty getting it built.  He eventually gave up on it and went with an RS bucket. I'm not saying they can't be done, they are just a lot of work to make it look even half decent. 

 

As far as the black paint, most of the shadow scouts use the Rustoleum satin, canyon black.
