Looks good...I'd say the visor needs to be darkened a bit based upon the first picture.

Hello Star-Lord,

Looking good my friend. Small reminder that when you file your submission, to include pictures of you with the inner robe and sash, a picture of your boots, and the series of pictures you have taken, plus one with the bucket off.

Make sure that your features can't be seen from someone standing right in front of you. You will find that some people will come up straight into your visor to see if they can detect your eyes.

Have you painted your helmet yet? The only recommendation I would make is to try to mimic the color of your helmet to the red of your outer robes.

Thank you very much for your replies. I'm going submit my pictures soon. Just waiting for a friend to finish his Darth Vader, so we can join the 501st together.
Yes, the helmet is painted already. Do you think it'going to be a problem?

Greetings

If FP robes (which they look like they might be?), tbh it'll be a pain matching the helmet when you're out in the sunlight like that. The colour they use doesn't 'wash out' so to speak in direct sun light as a lot of helmets seem to.

Even mine which is one of the more expensive helmets with really nice colour finds it hard to match the FP velvet colour in sun light.

As to whether it's a problem, well its really up to your GML. Red can be difficult when it comes to sunlight, so there may be some leeway. If there is, then I guess it's about how happy you are in regards to accuracy (i.e. matching as much as possible) ^_^v

I painted my helmet to match my FP robes. Given that there is a fair bit of color difference between your helmet and robes, I would suggest you do the same. Also, it looks a lot better when they match :)
