It really was quite the challenge, but I'm happy to say my helmet is done! Again, this is my first ESB paint up and I know it's not perfect, but I'm really happy with how she turned out.
I went back and fixed a portion of the killstripes I left out because the stencils I used had the thumbprint covering them!
Thanks to Raizo Fett for pointing that out!
I even got my servo and RF light kit installed from Jc27
Now that my helmet is done. I moved onto boots.
Fresh out of the box when I got them from Man of War Studios last year for my Protector build.
I darkened the stripe down the middle and started the first phase of weathering off of what spideyfett did to his CA boots.
If all goes to plan, I'll be able to get these done this weekend.

None at all! The instructions you provided were great!

I have been working on this here and there...
Dyed, or rather stained my girth belt with minwax penetrating wood stain.

And finally got my locking pins onto my armor. The surface of the plate and pin got roughed up and attached with JB weld and after that set and dried, I pressed on plumbers epoxy for reinforcement.

Made some more progress before starting the paint process on the chest plates.
Tested my attachment method with the clutch back pins. Super secure, really cheap, and no sewing of velcro! The pins literally just poke through the vest and are secured with a little push pin. Really easy. I got my plates primed immediately after this so I'll have pics of that and the painting process here shortly.
Also got my collar stud holes drilled for attaching the collar to the back plate.

Little bit of progress to report...
Painting commences on the chest plates. Back plate is done in gray as well. I'm going to come up with my green mixes, mask off appropriately, and add the silver topically.
A wild harness has appeared! This is one of Big Dane's kits.

Test fit!
Sorry for terrible selfie.

Looking good so far, love the single colours on the chest armor... well colours before the greens.

Slowly working on getting the chest armor painted here. I got the orangeish color half laid down on the right shoulder last night before I ran out of paint.
So, that means a trip to the paint store! While I'm there, I'll be looking for the right blue and maroon used on the chest sigil and shoulder skull since I have the stencils from Fett4Real. With that said, what are people using color wise for the chest sigil and the skull on the left shoulder?
