    Christmas came early...

    Hi

    Just received the best (very early) Christmas present from Steve the Swede. What can I say? these pictures will speak for themselves. All I can say is that this guy is a real professional, truly talented, honest and above all he's created the best looking ESB lid I've ever seen.:thumbup

    There's some serious skill involved in getting a paint job to look that good! i think that even beats his Star Wars Helmet tutorial paint job....

    Re: Christmas came early...

    I didn't paint this beauty, that's down to Steve the Swede, I believe he used a satin coat to seal the whole lot then misted over it with a matt coat to give it a dusty feel.

    I think he totalled around 140 hours to paint it, no building, just painting.

    Words can't express the attention to detail on this, he's even copied the residue left behind by the masking tape around the kill stripes....

    My other helmet, my (MS1) will now be displayed in my prop room, but not on Boba's head.

    Yeah that is true, or he could just PM it to keep it a secret. Top secret. I know I would be interested in knowing how much one of these ran, just out of pure curiousity though.

    Oh yes, I know that. I wouldn't want him to post anything out in the open, and I don't really need to hear an answer in private.
