Deadland GMH ESB paint up for Katzybugz

As part of the Fem Fett armor that I am painting for Katzybugz she has commissioned me to paint up her GMH lid as well. All I have to say is that this is my first one. All I have to say is that it is really darn cool to hold a piece of Fett history in my hand. This is a rotocast GMH and to me seems to be just as strong as any of the fiberglass lids that Fettpride has produced. So far I have started the process of filling in all the physical damage that is present in the GMH at which point I will go back and add in the ESB damage. Well on to a pic since there is just a light coat of primer on it and a lot of work to go to get it to her in time for Celebration VI.

I know that she's been biting at the bit in excitement for you to get this helmet.

I think we both have!!!

So you should have one of the FP Female Jetpacks soon to paint? THAT I cant wait to see. Its from the sculpt I did last year. Love your work and cant wait to see this done...she will be pleased with this for sure.

Yeah bro I cannot wait to see this pack that you did it is going to be a fun paint up for sure!!

Have only seen a few pics on the iphone, but what Ive seen from the pics is gonna be pretty awesome for the ladies and kiddies... Will be painting one in a few months between ROTJ helmets and such

:thumbsupLooking good my brother!!! I will be watching this w/ dreamy eyes:love

Dude I just realized how soon CVI is, your gonna be working like a Fett4Real goodluck I dont know that you have time to be taking pictures.

Awesome ! I know she's ready for this stuff :)

U are going to be busy.

Well, this should be a great thread with pretty cool pictures! Good luck Deadland!

Oh I can't begin to explain how ridiculously I am excited for all this! I know it's all gonna look awesome! I don't know which part I'm more excited for! Thanks again for doing this for me Rob! Like fett4real said I know you will be busy but it is so much appreciated!!!

I only wish I could be doing this same thing with the same stuff for my Wife and her set. Very jealous

I can say its def been worth the wait so far. And I'm sure your wife will feel the same way when she sees her fett coming together :)

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!! These are simply AMAZING!

Lovely, lovely work my good man, looks fantastic! Katzy will be pleased as punch! :-)

Wow!
Beautiful work.
Are you also plan to build a interior as the screen used?

So my helmet came in today and I literally teared up seeing it. (yes I'm a girl haha) but seriously. It's gorgeous. And there's just something about holding my helmet for the first time. I know plenty of people have been working on their costumes for long periods of time. I started my journey at the beginning of this year and to finally get this piece of the costume. It really struck me. I can't say enough about Rob (Deadland). I really appreciate how you were able to work with such a tight schedule and never once complained and emailed me updates frequently. I will recommend your services over and over. Thanks again. I am beyond pleased and can't wait to show off your painting job at c6!!
