Once again... thank you TF!!! I figured I would have to pick at it a bit to sharpen the edges. I've also got some dental tools that I've used for some SS work. I may give those a run at the helmet as well. It should add some "interesting" scratches. I'll be happy to get the back panels done. I'm a little nervous about moving to the dome…. It's the most iconic looking area (in my oppinion). I still need to better fit the RF ear, so once I'm done with the back panel and can remove all the masking, I'll have a little bit of construction work/fitting to do before I get too far on the dome green.
I got one panel (right) masked off last night. I'm going to work on the left panel tonight. Perhaps I'll get the final green added sooner.. rather than later… Masking the cream/gray/silver/metal is much more of a challenge than I anticipated. There are a lot of little details that need to get added. I'm sure mine will not be spot on, but I hope I make a decent run at it. I've found my eye "gets lost" for lack of better terms. I KNOW I'm looking at it, yet I can't match up what I want to paint vs mask. It's like my brain goes on overload. If that makes sense. I may need to go back and do a little touch up once it's all on there.
