289th Airborne trooper *WIP*

Well, I decided to make an airborne trooper for my legion. Enough said.



This is a WIP because I want some tips for making the helmet better.
Sorry for bad photography.

C&C Welcome.

First tip: Where's the mouth?

That is exactly why this is a WIP. . .

This airborne trooper looks quite unique with a backwards body and half a clone visor. So it looks quite good. But as a opinion add some slanted red lines heading towards the visor to make it look more like a airborne trooper.

Well I would. . .But I don't have the ultra fine tip Sharpie in Red.

Oh yeah I would just like to ask one question. How did you get rid of the bottom half of the visor?

Eraser I'll bet. I've seen several endorsements of such a tool used in removing printing from bricks.

Well, I used a pencil eraser and just put a lot of pressure and rubbed for about 15 minitues.

Brasso probably...

It needs some clay. Make a mouthpiece like Mike Zulu did with his.
(can't find the link at the moment)

Nope actually eraser. . .And show me the link when you find it.

Here we go!

By our very own, awesome MikeZ!

Could I get a better pic of a mouthpiece?

Like in, say, his gallery? Amazing!<<<

His mouthpiece is just decaled on. . .I want a pic of a clay one. . .

So what do you need exactly? As in do you need a close up on a real airborne troopers helmet?

Well, I need that and one of a custom clay mouthpiece. . .

Well then here is a close up on a figurine airborne trooper. Hope that it helps

Yes, that helps. . .Now I just need a pic of custom clay mouthpiece.

Now that would be hard to find. Well better get started searching.
Edit: I've been searching for a while and this clay mouthpiece is impossible to find.

Looks nice! I like the helmet. How did you do that with the mouth? Cant wait to see the final product.

I already stated that. . .But I used an eraser.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see that. And you used just a normal pencil eraser?

Yep, you just have to put a lot of pressure and rub for a while.

That's cool. I may have to try that tomorrow. Thanks man.

No problem.
