I am sure you know, there is only a few pictures of the MKII in empire. You are correct with decals etc, but many were put on the previous ANH helmets. MOST of the helmets you see in Empire are HDPE, repainted and eyes trimmed. I have only seen one picture of an ABS helmet
Hey Richie! Thanks for the tip with the Ral 9010 paint. I think I'll try that on the back of my thigh armor, where I had to use some ABS paste and screwed it up (The paste got contaminated with dirt and now I have tons of little specks on the seam). I also ordered Ral 9001 to compare the two... Don't know how close of a match that one is, but it looked ever so slightly darker than 9010. Beste Grüße aus Norddeutschland!
Your video’s are so awesome and informative, so thank you Richie for continuing to make such amazing content! I have learned so much through this channel and can’t wait for more videos! :)
Thank you, Sir! Always enjoy your videos and informative content. Be interested in what all you’d have to say on stormtrooper WEAPONS, cast vs 3D printed, weathering, etc. and your experience with trooping with them. It would be a great next video topic!
Hey Richie, I've got a question related to the helmets; Do you have any suggestions on how to go about raising/leveling the brow/headband on an RS Propmasters helmet? Mine slants something fierce, with one side of the brow going so low as to rest directly on the right lens. (no visible white between the lens and the brow) Thankfully, the other side stays up a healthy 1cm above it's lens. I'm currently considering using a dremel to trim away some of the dome to slide the black brow up higher on the low-side; but I'd like to hear what you think is best first. Thanks for reading, and I hope your next pizza is cooked just right! :)
Well...if you don't want to give SDS props any free advertising, fair enough. Now, for gawds sake, nobody mention Andrew Ainsworth or SDS props! I mentioned it once (twice maybe) but I think I got away with it.........
Good stuff. Always nice to see more and more builders following similar methods for more accurate helmets. :)

I was literally just thinking, "I wonder when Richie Stormtrooper is going to post his next video."
