ESB Paintup for anakin1322

Spent the past couple of days tracing out the 'fjords of Norway' on the back panels, masking them and finally getting the base colors applied...I decided to do the back panel layered as I like how the removal of the latex mask gives the scratches an authentic raggedness...

Spent the evening getting the Lark Grey detail added to the Catscratch, and then getting all of the little flecks inside it tightened down and sharpened...

Looks fantastic mate, and as others have touched on, a really great way to get the accuracy down. As with all of your work, will look killer on completion my friend! (y)
 
Wow, looking really great!
I'm still fascinated by the waterslide decals you made. Had you considered trying to print
them in color? At least the gray portions, or would that be too fiddly to mess with.
 
I did an experiment with doing them in color. The only problem was that you had to print them on white decal paper which is a tad bit thicker than the clear and you had to cut out EVERY nook and cranny of negative space or you would have white decal paper showing. With the clear you can leave the negative spaces empty and the paint of the helmet shows through. Plus the black stencil gives you a good shadow to paint over without any of the helmets base colors bleeding through...If that makes any sense.
 
Finished up the greys on the mandibles this evening. Getting a little bleary eyed, so I'll start on the maroon scratches tomorrow. It's starting to look like a Fett helmet...

Right Mandible and Brow Strip detail with PRR Maroon applied..."IT'S A TOTAL CHAOTIC MESS!!!!" Just like it's supposed to be. I love this side of the ESB Helmet with the paint almost completely stripped from the mandible and brow. Fett must lead with the right side of his face when he fights! :lol:
