First time painting ROTJ

As the title says this will be my first ROTJ paint up and it will be on a ToElveven Fiberglas helmet . The helmet is beautiful made and highly reccomended if you're looking for one ! I've painted two full ESB helmets and fixed another two touching up certain panels so far so since this helmet can be painted either way I decided to go ROTJ . I will be doing rattle cans for this and had most of them already laying around .


How the helmet came

And now sanded, trimmed and primed

Looks great so far! Those mandible walls are so thin! That ear attachment is awesome too! No magnets!! :)

Must nice that it's thin and strong I have a fat head Hahahaha I used the bottom holes on the ear cap for guide bolts and use magnets still, so much easier to take on and off to pack up the range finder ! I ended up using Chicago screws to attach the ear caps so it's all nice and flush on the inside of the helmet .
 
Silver sprayed down

Sprayed grey back down after masking the silver then misted it in some spots with black to give the grey that two tone look .

Rears un masked , pretty happy with it . Still needs all the small little details that will be all hand applied after its fully painted

Cheeks are silver . After cheeks I'll to the mandibles then finally the dome .
 
So glad you're doing rotj! Looking nice.

I'm seeing a lot of these around lately. I want to try and tackle it, but then I'm afraid I'd have to acknowledge that there was another movie released after Empire. :lol:

Wait it there was another movie after empire ?!?! Hahahahaha

I put it up to a vote on my IG and it was unanimously ROTJ so here we are ! I'm really excited about it actually kind of like a nice break from the same paint jobs . Again thank you for the amazing cast its a pleasure to work with !

Been quite busy today ! Red isn't gloss it will flatten out as it dries . Back panels , cheeks and mandibles are painted . I'll tackle the dome tomorrow and hopefully finish it by day's end
 
Lack of step by step updates but it's done for now , need to paint the ear caps but other than that I'm pretty happy with how it turned out . Wasn't going for suuuuuper accurate just in the ball park . Mind you , this is all rattle cans and a silver sharpie hahaha
