ATA, not so steady, build

Very cool!

I need to figure out how to do the tube strips and cheek strips so I can get those painted on as well. Might end up purchasing a template from trooperbay, but was trying to figure it out otherwise..

Well, you won't see those on my helmet, cause I did the Mr. No Stripes version. I had to mix it up from the regular troops.

HA!!! I didn't realize that was an actual type of helmet! I was going off panda over on fisd, and noticed that comment a long time ago, but never thought much of it.

[Mr Fett]

Don't worry, I'm the only on in MI that did that. The rest of the helmet build is exactly the same as yours.

I would go for the Trooperbay templates. It will save you a ton of hassle.

Here is my armor build if you want to see how I did it.

If you do use the stencil, I have a trick you can use. Once you get the stencil in place, apply a base color of paint before you paint the stripes. For example, when you paint the tube stripes, put a coat of white paint on the template first. Once it dries you can paint the blue over top. This prevents the blue from bleeding through the template.
