Converting the GMH to an ESB AOSW...

I have to completely disagree with that statement, sorry buddy.. its there, not because some of us agree and some of us don't... my examples are on the next post and pics below. (y)

I'm 100% sure that the wavy brow is there! My statement was for those who see it and for those who don't see or don't want to see it... It's like if you believe in Santa Claus, then he exist, if you don't believe, then he doesn't exist. This is all in the eye of the beholder.

Santa isn't real?? LOL!
 
Alex you have done an outstanding job on that brow, for me personally though I also believe its a little less pronounced, though I can also appreciate that me looking at photos of it on a monitor doesn't give a true representation, I also think that a lot of the repair contour can come down to trimming and paint application, keep it up (y)

Agreed :)... here's a Revised version.

  • Scaled back on the brow.
  • Reattached the right ear. (cracked)
  • Added the AOSW visor mounts.

Visor Mounts (taking a page out of Kbrosseau book..(y)). Custom mounts drilled and tapped...still waiting on the correct screws to ship, but you get the Idea.

Sweet! Here's where the fun begins. :)

How are those visor clips attached to the cheeks? Epoxy? Super glue? Magic pixie dust?

Definately.........Magic Dust. LOL

And I will be applying the epoxy puddy to help secure them in... like the reference shows... just tacked them on for the picture.
 
Finally got some paint on this puppy..

Just applied the dome, cheeks, and back colors.
With some additional "speckling/splatter". I think most people forget this part.. it really adds more depth on the finished product. (y)

Should get the mandibles and the undercheeks tomorrow, and possibly the kill-stripes... Yes, this is a topical paint job. :D

Just out of curiosity. Why add bondo around the dent?

The GMH is a cast of the Pre-Pro #2 and the helmet has some physical damage (or poor repair job) around the dent while the ESB hero is cleaner in that area.
