Greetings,

This is my one completed test run for my HET's.
I want to paint my E-Web, but before doing so must ask -- do you like this scheme? Any thoughts or suggestions? I utilized traditional acrylics with P3 color Coal Black to represent rubber type material on hood and cloak.
Should I just use contrast for the rest? Constructive criticism appreciated.

I think it would help if the helmet was white like the rest of the armor plating. If you take a look at the original costume, the helmet and goggles are hard armor, with only the face mask being the rubbery material.

The best feedback I've received thus far. Thank you.

I like the color scheme, even if it took me a while to see (on this model, from this angle, mind) that the face cover and arms are the same grey as the pants.

If I had to suggest an improvement, it'd be about that grey. Both the beige armor and the dark helmet are visibly textured while the pants are only subtly highlighted. Personally I'd make those highlights stand out a little better to get more contrast on those parts, and to better match the depth of the other, more textured parts of the model.

Regardless of that, nice job on the color scheme.

Thank you Geifer and Lunar Sol. After contemplating I decided I'm going to a little uniform adjustment on my HET friend here. I think I like the helmet having that odd rubber texture, but I will post my touch-ups once completed. Cheers to you both for offering your thoughts, I feel better
about how to proceed now with this insight.

Sounds good! Happy to help!

I finally finished this guy, my take on a Hazard Trooper, and will do the unit next year.

Tell me what you think of the changes everyone. Thanks.

Looks good.
