You used a cardboard stencil, didn't you? If you're stenciling something not flat, use a flexible-er material, like a thin sheet of plastic or something. It's more of a bitch to cut, but it looks a hella lot better.

Huh, it should've come out looking a lot better then.
IT wasn't fully flat on the helmet, I just taped it down to hold it and quickly shot it with the paint. The sides weren't fully pressed down.
Why does it have random splotches of blue? If you were going for the UN peacekeeper color, its a lot lighter.

I would just repaint over everything. That way you get the right color, and you can fix the lettering. Edit: Wow, that sites a real bitch to link too, just click the link and go to helmets on the left side toolbar. Its at the bottom of the page.
Took me a second to get what you meant, I might redo it. It was supposed to be Navy blue the paint ended up with a bad shine on it. Which I tried a trick that I was taught but the black paint went on to heavy in places and I just said screw it. Well, you could say that it's field improved and what not, with a personal touch. Yes it may look off and what not, but I don't think it's that much of a deal.
[QUOTE=cornflakes;24481573]It's not UN...[/QUOTE] Press uses the same color as the UN.

If you want it to look worn out, just paint it, finish it, then throw it on the ground a few times. Plastic helmets scratch easily enough
I've seen photos of the Press that ranged from wearing a black vest and helmet, to a Navy blue vest and helmet and the sky blue stuff.
I like the reporter from GK.
That's a much better idea for people who want to just film the game, might be misinterpreted.
The press on the helmet?

My slightly higher speed low drag setup. Easily wearing and carrying over $1000 worth of stuff with me. I'll break down the price if anyone asks. [img]http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/af275/elcameracrew/DSC_0276.jpg[/img]

Yup that's it. Small and compact but it sure delivers. The rechargeable battery lasts all day unlike the older version that would suck up 2 AAA batteries in about 2 hours or less.
Yeah, I was thinking about picking that one up. There was a booth here selling them for $200, and I was srsly contemplating getting it, but I needed the money for other stuff. [editline]09:00PM[/editline] The audio seems kinda weird though, like as if you had water in your ears or you were listening through a tube or something.
Well it is in a waterproof case afterall. But the newest version is a great improvement over the older version. Here's a comparison: Older generation GoPro camera. This is how quiet the audio is from when it records. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lltpcFJBXCk[/media] Older generation GoPro camera. This is with the audio boosted through editing software. Boosting it also boosts the static sound. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5b9MDuSRcvQ[/media] Current generation GoPro Camera, the GoPro Hero HD. Video and audio quality is much better. I only increased the audio by a very small amount just so you could hear what people were saying [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsZ2LWcWMbg[/media]

I'd love one of those, but I need the money.
I'm saving up for a [url=http://www.amazon.com/ContourHD-1080p-Full-Helmet-Camera/dp/B002QGSYZ4/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1283229756&sr=8-4]Tachyon XC 1080[/url]

Seen some good videos from those, I think there was at guy last weekend who had one attached to his paintball mask.

You pay for quality, what can I say.
Oh, to have a job right now...
Ender can we see a kitlist? I'm especially curious about the helmet.

The reporter isn't wearing a MOPP suit, as far as I can tell. IIRC, MOPP Suits are one piece, so if he was wearing one, his top wouldn't be untucked.
The guy on the right from Generation Kill was indeed wearing a MOPP suit. They might have messed up the costume work but I doubt it, the show had a lot of attention to detail.
Yeah, the reporting was wearing a MOPP suit. He had the only desert one out of the entire battalion.
I know according to the shows story he was supposed to be, but it doesn't really look like he is in that photo. I dunno.
