Project Stormtrooper: DONE

    Stormtrooper helmet consists of 2 colors so I had to mask one while painting the other color. Firstly I painted the whole helmet to white. It dried and I covered the parts which are supposed to stay white.

Let's add some black paint to it. It looks kinda scary now.

Peel the plactic and feel the success!

 

Looks cool isn't it!

    For eyes; I cut a piece of transparent plactic and glued a thin black fabric on it. It looks awesome from the outside but there is a problem: YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING WHEN YOU WEAR THE HELMET. You need to trust the Force and find your path without seeing anything. 

May the force be with you! 

(Sounds silly when a stormtrooper says it)

Project Stormtrooper: Almost Done

    After painful hours of covering with plaster and sanding, it is smooth and ready for paint! 

    Of course I couldn't resist wearing it. It's kinda large but that's how it's designed. It's also large in the movie so I have no problem here. 

Coming next: Painting!

Project: First Order Stormtrooper

    New design of Stormtroopers is awesome. I really like the simplicity of the helmet. It's black & white, nothing more. Simple and iconic. So I decided to give it a shot.

    As usual, I cut the pieces and glued the cardboard piece by piece.

It looks great. Because of it's large pieces, it was easier to assemble than my latest War Machine helmet.

 

    Now the most difficult part starts. It will take some time for me to complete it.
