Nice one Dan! It's the only part of the helmet that I haven't attempted to free-hand yet. I've used tube stripe decals on every helmet I've ever built. But I think that hand painted is the way to go from now on. Next time...I promise!
Thanks John. I really don’t blame you. The templates certainly make it easier to get a consistent finish. However, I think I’ll practice more on my “test” helmet next time before I paint onto a keeper. Practice makes perfect - I just need a load of helmets to paint now. Lol
Haha. Yes, it’s not the easiest. I’d love to practice more and get it more fluid, however, looking back afterwards they’re not as bad as I first thought. ☺️
@@cableguydan lol,those angles! a curve on a curve,like anything I guess the more times you do it the easier it gets,well that's good that you're more pleased with them now.
Hello and good morning my name is kevin and I'm from Colchester Essex and I'm a massive starwars fan and I love stormtrooper, s do you have a spare helmet kit please that you can send me .
Looks great, Dan. Thanks for sharing the painting process. Very helpful to give me confidence to paint my TK helmet.
Many thanks, Matthew. I’m really pleased you’ve enjoyed the videos. ☺️

Nice job
Thank you, David. Really appreciate it.
Hey Dan,painting those tubestripes does look very tricky,I wouldn't even attempt that unless I used a stencil.

The tube stripes you have to have a steady hand
I'm not that brave. I use decals. I think yours came out pretty good. 👍
Thank you, Finnick. Much appreciated. 🙏☺️
