You got this, you can do it!  We're here to help.

I highly recommend you start a build thread in our Stormtrooper builds forum or on FISD (or both).  Keep everything in one posting, start to finish, don't start a new post for every question. It makes it much easier for everyone to follow along.

Good luck.

My Anovos helmet came completed, so I don't have much experience with hand-painting the tears, traps, or tube stripes, but I did hand-paint the frown.

If you're not confident in your painting skills I'd recommend checking TrooperBay for a decal set.

Jim Moser hand-painted his entire helmet. Check his build on FISD for an example:

I trimmed up my calf armor and sanded them smooth, unfortunately my biceps and forearms came pre glued..... they are a VERY TIGHT FIT!!!! so I was trying to cut them free and slipped  :cry: sliced my right bicep armor.... Ive got two new ones coming, hopefully soon. I believe Ty got his drop boxes completed and trimmed up some other doo dads

looks good! for the frown and vocoder paint i just used a toothpick and the flat end of one of the manicure sticks when the paint was dry and lightly scraped the edges where i didn't want paint. the testers paint seems to be pretty good about scratching off pretty straight(same thing for the ears) and just remember.. it doesnt have to be perfect.. its more accurate if its not.
I would take just a little bit more of the lip on the eyes out.. should be flat straight back.. they get picky on that for EIB and centurion!
