Hey guys...
Here's my first attempt at painting a Fett helmet (FP Budget) using AFFO$'s rattlecan color list. I followed the recommended rattlecan colors pretty closely but also used some very minor brushwork and airbrushing.
I used the layered technique with liquid latex and the stencils from the forum here, along with plenty of reference pictures of all of the awesome paintups being done here on the forum. I more or less eyeballed the stencils and didn't actually print them out and transfer them, so it's not 100% accurate. After everything was done, I hit it with some #000 steel wool and 12000 grit Rockler furniture polishing pads before giving it a good spraydown with Testor's Dullcote. Visor was installed simply with hot glue. I've still got some final weathering to do, but I'm about 98% done.
Anyway, hope you guys enjoy it and any comments/criticisms are welcome.
