Just finished this up over the weekend. So happy...
BTW, I don't know who made it.
It's not one of the bigger names out there though...

You painted all the "decal" areas by hand? Cool. Is it a fiberglass or plastic construction? Man... you gotta give some more descriptions on what you did!

Is it a fiberglass or plastic construction? Man... you gotta give some more descriptions on what you did! It's a plastic helmet. Thick and sturdy plastic too. Yep, all the decal areas were done by hand except the blue stripes. (just in case I get into a Mr. No Stripes mood, I can take them off  )
I used Humbrol grey #5 for all the grey areas (teeth, trapezoids ect...) and Humbrol glossy black #21 for the black outlines and stripes. I forget what I used for the vocoder, but it was a duller black. The white was just some glossy white paint I picked up at an auto store. I first painted the black outlines making sure the outter edges were smooth and even, then filled it in with the gray. For the black stripes, I just kept a steady hand while painting. It looks sloppier than decals, but tons better IMO. |

Thanks all! Yeah, I don't know who made it. A friend hooked me up with this helmet. It really is beautiful too. StarWars Collector wrote: No mesh in the mic tips?
The mesh is there, it's just almost impossible to see.
(I might replace the mic tips at some point) |

You sure that's not a GINO? I see some bumps and a softer rear ridge line under the trapezoids. |

I don't know much about trooper helmets, but I would be very happy if one that looked half that good came my way. Good job! |
