Day 3

Yesterday was a work day so I didn't have much time to advance on the Stormie. I cut out the ab plate buttons and in the process however, noticed that the ribbed shoulder straps were missing from my kit. I instantly e-mailed my armor guy about it since they were nowhere to be found... Hopefully they were just misplaced during packaging. No idea when I'll ever get them eventually.

Anyway, here's some face plate work.



Here are my new tools: triangular, round and flat filers. I ended up only using the round one with some sand paper.



Some light trimming around the edges but it still didn't look satisfying enough. Also the right eye bump was a little too pronounced.



I used the X-acto after all, with some reference pictures from starwarshelmets.com. Also for the frown holes, not sure if I should make them wider or leave them as they are.
