Trey you have done a great job man!!

Armor fits well and I see you have added some the little details like the side split rivets that you see in the screen used suits!!

The helmet is well done. I would look at raising the brow a wee bit (does not need to be like Move along TDs)

show a little bit of room between the eyes and the rubber (most Stunt lids are known for that )

Are you looking to do a specific TD (going SWAT at any point?)

The other thing I could not tell in these photos, but it kinda looked like you have a little bit of a return edge on the wrist area of the forearms. If you do, I would trim it off (easier to wear, and is screen accurate)

Screen used armor:






So far you have done an epic god man!! just those two things.....

Thanks Tom I really appreciate the feedback. I definitely need to trim the forearm returns. That would make them more comfortable. I will also raise the brow. The ally door check TD is what I'm aiming for. I would like to go swat, but for now I'm just trying to get finished. I still have to get my ammo pouches and sonic radio. There's some painting and bondoing left to do on my backpack. My e11 needs an ammo counter. I also have to weathering everything. Its a lot of work but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I work a lot of overtime at my job, but this weekend I'm hoping to get a lot of the armour weathering done. Now I see how you post pictures. Tom I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate your help. I will keep posting photos through the weathering process. If there is anyway I can help y'all with anything just let me know. Thanks Tom

Always happy to Trey! and not rush on getting it done. the one reason why I asking about you going SWAT was to know which TD you are s looking to aim for.

Since you said pack 4 and you have an E11 and black Pauldron for the Alley check this is the sandie you are looking to do:







The brow looks a maybe about 10mm above the eyes:



and cannot wait to see your weathering.

BTW here are some good How Tos videos about weathering:

I like this method and do the 70% alcohol (over look the Clone weathering colors ) just the rubbing alcohol techniques:

I like Terry's Colors and TD sandie tones:

Brow raised. I was able to achieve 10 mm in the front, the sides are closer . Should the brow trim be even across the front or can it be angled slightly up like it is now? Thanks for the video links

Trey looks great man!!! I would not change a thing!!!

and the the angle is what you see on a lot of the screen used Stunt lids.

To rephrase old Bens' line to "this IS the Sandtrooper helmet you are looking for!! "

and you are welcome on the vids links!!

Tom
