--- Quote from: jkno on January 23, 2015, 03:30:34 AM ---The frown on a Stormtrooper helmet refers to the mouth grille which should be painted gray (for ANH) or black (for ESB and ROTJ). This one is white.

The brow is a different thing, it is the rubber trim above the eyes that can be added high or low depending of the Stormtrooper type (ANH, ROTJ, Sandtrooper etc.) :)

Ok the mouth piece hasn't been painted yet which it is in the progress of happening and the kit comes with either stickers or decals if you don't want to paint anything.

as you mentioned earlier

Not being rude mate but if you asked someone here in Australia what a frown is they would tell you it is when your eyebrows are brought together and the forehead is wrinkled.

Thanks for the links mate.

Well I wonder why they didn't give that frown some black or grey paint. Good eye for detail there Serg. I learn something new everyday! I bet Serg could write a heck of a research paper!
