Painting Insides of Clone Helmet Visors?

Anyone who's seen my creations may have noticed that I paint the insides of the clone troopers' visors with black paint.

I've noticed that no one else does it - I wanted to know what people think of it since I don't know if people actually like it or not or if they have thought of doing it to their own clones...

From the front and side, it makes little difference:




But if you look at it at an angle from the front:





... The painted one still looks like it has a visor on it - the unpainted one is difficult to make out.

I don't understand why the visors were made hollow in the first place...

I realy like i.
Keep doing that

It doesn't really add anything special to it in fact it looks kind of odd.

So THAT's why your helmets look a tad different...

Personally, I think it makes them a little more unLego like...

This technique works really well. Ironically came to the same problem (about the hollow visor look) and have been looking for a way to correct it. Do you think you could post or PM me an istructional, um, post for it?

Basically what he does is paint the inside... and I guess he masks off the part he doesn't want paint on.

That might be it . Hey thunder, do you think sharpie works just as well?

Nope... sharpie aren't "thin" enough..

It's cool, Nice idea! welcome to CABG by the way, I noticed your new. Some time I will probably fill in the visor gap on my p3 helmets.

Phase 3? Or is that a typo...

Because Phase 3 is technically Stormtrooper armor...

Hm... It wasn't as obvious as I thought it was...

To paint the inside of the visor's I simply apply black paint with a very fine paintbrush--- If you're making a Republic Commando you can use blue instead for the visor, or green for Gree's...

I have also used a toothpick but you risk scratching off the paint when you pull it out and go in again. I don't have it on a head when I paint the visor.

@DarthPineapple
At first it looked odd to me too but I've gotten used to it - I've kept it because I think it better defines the visor on the helmet.

Hmm...it actually makes the helmet look like a whole piece, without the gap fo the visor. The only problem I see is that if you want to switch the head underneath around with different colours, you'll have to repaint it.

I prefer just leving the inside unpainted.

I've done it before, just not that well .
It is a nice effect though.

It really seems to make a difference, a nice one at that

Cool! But like Thunder-Blade said it makes them seem unlegoish
