This will leave the paint in recesses and add to the heavily weathered look of the Shoretrooper.ĥ) Next, use burnt umber and burnt sienna washes in areas were dust or grime would likely accumulate on the helmet. Then, rapidly wipe all of the paint away using a slightly damp paper towel. (shown in the pictures)Ĥ) Create a watery black paint solution by mixing equal parts of black acrylic paint and water. Also, tape off the bottom rim of the blast shield and paint it black as well.ģ) Paint the earpiece and 2 stripes of the cheek black with acrylic paints. Be careful, as using your nails may result in scratches in the final finish.Ģ) Next, paint on the black stripes on either side of the helmet by masking off the area and painting it with black acrylic paint. Now that the helmet has had all of its base colors applied, the detail paint can be applied.ġ) Gently peel off the masking fluid using the pad of your finger. It may be useful to mark out the areas that need more work with a sharpie. Note- the grey images above are after the first coat of filler primer. Then, finish sanding with 320, and 400 grits. It will also fill in the minor lines.ĥ) Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the helmet is fully smooth. This will show you all of the pits and areas that need additional sanding. If it is still not smooth, apply additional spot putty.Ĥ) After the helmet appears smooth, spray a thick layer of filler primer onto the helmet.

However, be careful applying the resin to the finer details, as they may disappear.ģ) After the coating has completely dried, use 150 and 180 grit sand papers to sand down the surface. This coating increases the durability and reduces the sanding of the helmet, making it a win-win for any 3D printed project. The application time is 10 minutes and it takes 4 hours to cure completely. The coating is self leveling and the brush strokes won't be visible when it dries.

Then, using a brush, apply it to the model surface. Then, wipe down the entire helmet so it is dust freeĢ) Mix up some XTC 3D using the instructions on the box. After it is dry, sand the entire helmet using 150-180 grit sandpaper. Note- Bondo is toxic and should be used outdoors for safety. It can be applied with a gloved finger, or a Popsicle stick. Remember to wear a mask when sanding and spray painting!ġ) Spot putty - apply Bondo to all of the seams where 2 parts were joined and to visible rough areas. Those will not require post processing and will be painted/ applied later.Īll 3D printed models have visible layer lines from printing, so they require post processing to achieve a smooth finish. Note- do not glue the front details or bottom breathing pieces. If additional support is needed, the seams can be reinforced after gluing with a little bit more epoxy. For others however, it will be easier to apply glue then use clamps and tape to hold the parts together. For certain pieces, it may be easier to hold by hand until the parts dry. Then, mix up the 5 minute epoxy and begin gluing the pieces. To assemble the pieces, first lightly sand all of the contact points with 220 grit sandpaper. I used 5 minute epoxy because it gives you a longer working time than superglue, and creates a much stronger bond than superglue. This ensures that everything will go together well.
#Star wars a rogue one next showing registration
The files we are using for this project are very nice and have registration tabs built into all of the pieces. All of the pieces of the helmet require gluing, except for the blast shield piece, as shown in the above picture in blue, because it will be glued on later.
