Just picked up a cold cast Boba helmet and wonder which parts to leave silver on a Supertrooper helmet. Looking at pics its a bit confusing.

Yeah Dynamics i=s how you should do it, though there is one detail you need to add on the left ear the center cut out strip that runs down the midle of it needs to stay unpainted as it is silver (sorry D I should have pointed that out to you

LOL...I plead the 5th : )..IMHO, I believe it is all white? I believe the ones w/ the metal ear were unfinished. The images Rafalfett posted for you clearly shows that the left ear is indeed all white : ). I do agree w/ BH that the center may be metal. BG and Fett4real were a HUGE help during this build as the ref pics can be really confusing. I say, chose 2-3 pics, and go w/ those because many of the pics are very conflicting.

Hence these are most probly different helmets
and as it shows on the first the ears are painted (exept the parts on the right ear that are left metal on the ESB and PP3 helmet and the inner left ear the inner left ear) ,but F4R is also right as the second pic there is one with out any paint on the ears
