10/5 WIP: ROTJ Fettpride - Done & DONE!

Hey guys!

Got the back panels done (not screen accurate I know but i was going cross-eyed on those stencils) still needs tons of weathering - the problem is I used Raf's templates and didn't note until reading further (a little late) about misting the gray as noted by Fett4Real - my question is there a way to mist over the gray somewhat without ruining the back panels? I should have known after seeing so many threads but totally screwed this one up :facepalm

Actually, the misting overspray bleeds out onto the green parts of the back panels. If you look at the screen used helmet it has tons of overspray all over it. I would just start by lightly misting, then check my reference pics. Then add more if need be.

You did a great job so far with those back panels! I have plans to redo the ROTJ helmet stencils to add the misted colors too (as I did with the Pre-Pro #2 too), but until then use the advices provided by the paint masters.

Thanks Raf! Your stencils are awesome by the way. Never knew there was that much detail in Fett until I started research. Thanks again for those!

As far as overspray goes - is there an easier way to do it with a rattlecan? With a little control vs. standing back and spraying?

Another Q: I'm using STG's rattlecans for this - the gray is primer gray by Rustoleum. Should I actually go a darker gray for the overspray so the gray damaged details would stand out more? Thanks all!

Thats what I used on my OG ROTJ...i reccomend using Moss Green not sage green for the Dome and cheeks though....its a better color to start off with

Dom, is there a way to spray the overspray without washing out the details on the back similar to what's on FettFullofDollars' lid?

What you said about standing back...you can also stand back and kind mask with a piece of cardboard in between the lid and the can like 6-10 inches from the can maybe a little more....and holding the can say 20 inches away? Try it out on some scrap cardboard or seomthing....youll see what I mean...

Thanks guys - I tried the method Dom suggested with rather mixed results - looks ok but not entirely what I would like - I'm satisfied though and moved onto the dome ( and I thought the back panels were detailed!)

Also for detail work and spot painting what would everyone suggest? I want some colors hat match the spray paint colors I've selected.

Thanks again for your assistance
