Hello everyone. I have started on my Black Series bucket. I'm not a piccaso with the dremmel. My cheek vents are rough. Any suggestions to make them look better. Thnx Ben
-
microfiles and sandpaper should do the trick
-
I came up with a better system to open the vents. I ground the back side of the material to make it thinner and then went at the back vents with the dremel. Looks 100 percent better. I filled the cheek vents and will use the same technique on them. Cheers

Ordered my TK armor from 850AW this morning. Excited!
-
One side done. Cheek vents look much better????

Here are a couple pics of the lowered brow. 1st piece then the brow itself. I still have to fill behind and sand to shape.
