Okay, I've had this painted for awhile but I didn't actually start working on the details until yesterday. It's my 3rd CAP-W helmet. I really like the fit of these things. I wanted to do a "classic" Blackhole Trooper. Everything black except some blue highlights (which were used for shading the black). I have some midnight navy underarmour on it's way so I'm going to snap some pics on the 11th to use in our garrison trading card run. I wonder if we can find some flat navy tube stripes. The gloss navy reflects the light and makes the lens capture it as lighter than it is. ![]() -iz |

Thanks! ![]() Some dust blew on it, but it looked better without the white specks. It'll be all cleaned up when I take the full photos. -iz |

Iz you gave me a great idea. I've had a ATA all painted black for a while, I think I might go your route and do the all black and blue on it. Trading Card Run???????????? What am I missing out on ?? |

Nice looking helmet. Yeah I have two CAP W TX helmets too. I like them even though there are some thin areas in the dome. They look great though and that's what its about. I'm prepping the 2nd one for painting right now. |

My Garrison is trying to get a trading card run going. If we do, I'll most likely have 3-5 costumes I'll want in there... Shadow Stormtrooper (Black and silver... DLT-19 maybe?) Blackhole Trooper (All black, blue tube stripes, black pauldron, mirrored E-11s?) Elite Novatrooper (Wish I had time to build another BFG.) Magma Trooper (Black Pauldron, E-11 like the Statue) And possibly the normal Nova IF I can get the helmet done in time... If not there's always next year... Then I may have a Shadow Guard and Vader to add in there as well. -iz |
