Let's see those Airborne Commander / Beehives

[nzjedi]

Jon,
I knew it would look good... I just had no idea HOW good. That's amazing. I really considering taking my pghf beehive back to plain white, and doing a straight white beehive when my armour arrives. Thanks for posting the pics man, its stunning.

[nzjedi]

I can't remember the name of the place but, it's right beside the Commander Cody helmet house.

 

[Apoes]

hehe Thanks, but wher is that? heh

You can get the armour from a few different sources. Look on clonetroopers.net, that particular helmet is quite rare, and the add on parts for the costume are are all extra and handmade. To do what Morgue has done, you'd be lucky to come in under 10,000 DKK once you factor in shipping, extras like under suit, boots, paint, various glues and filler products to get the suit all seamless strapped and ready for display or wear.

i just started mine, please give some constructive critisim

I think it would be cool to see a battlefront version of the beehive, to my eye it seems to be smaller and have sharper lines than the film version. I think if you have pepakura designer, the model could benifit from some edge smoothing, you'll find if you try to sculpt on that armature you'll go through miles of material. Smoother curves require less material to finish, and give you more control over the final shape.

I've never been a fan of this helmet design, but here's one I painted for a friend last year. Nothing too grand, just a beater of a paint job.

i love this paint job, probably one of my favorites, and i love how you removed the black squiggles - they always looked like a toddler got loose with a sharpie

has any one heard of a ebay store called the star fortress if so what are your thoughts are they good? cause i found a bucket and was wondering if it was worth it

 

[Mereel]

I'd stay clear of them, from what I've heard from other members when I was browsing, they're recasters and I've also heard a lot of the time it's a pain in the neck to even get what you paid for.

 

[VegasABT]

cool thank you any idea were i can get my first bucket

 

[Heatshock]

recasters.

[VegasABT]

[Heatshock]
