Heres some more on the helmet, better snout stuff and visor is shorter. All ground down too!
It takes a while to grind things down but the helmet is what will take the longest.
As far as tank topper bits and the airrator bits on the snout and tank, i'll probably jsut make them, and find parts that match the parts in the referance pics.
I need to add an extra inch to the snout in height. I put the goggles into the helmet and wore it. The goggles made it fit very well, snug and didn't shift very much. Once i get the plastic to build around the goggles and attatch that to the bucket it'll be pretty good. getting the padding into the helmet will be really nice too.
Question about some of the markings on the helmet:
on the back there are black bars that look like they are supposed to be mock "vents" as well as three bars on the forehead of the face plate. Are those jsut stickers that fake vents or are they rank bars like on the back hump?
If they are rank bars, what are the varients for rank in the imperial troops and what do those bars look like?
