    JB Project/ FPH Helmet


    Didn't want to bog down the Jeremy Bulloch thread with progress pics.. http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/showthread.php?t=23257 ....so I thought it would be best to start a separate thread.

    I'm in charge of the helmet for this project and will be painting this piece using a Topical method.
    Trust me, it was a hard decision after many hours of going back and forth between layered and topical . Ultimately to get every scratch "perfect", topical was the way to go!..It pains me to admit that.

    Although I won't be posting "how too's" on the work I will be doing, I will only be posting completed phases. This saves me allot of typing, and I also have other peices that need painting for this project.... have to move fast yet accurate...a mid March deadline will be here before you know it.

    Anyway here is the first pic...

    Wetsanded, prepped and primed FPH, with fitted aluminum ears. (Jeremy's getting all the good stuff.)

    Enjoy.

    What are you using for the rf topper? If hollow, I could probably put together a circuit.

    I'm looking forward to seeing the progress. I agree that topical is best way to get things "perfect".

    Awesome. Maybe you should send him every picture of process when completed, that way he'll know that he's getting all the goods stuff and all the great work that you guys went through.

    I'm sure he'll enjoy seeing the process as much as the finished suit.

    good stuff guys!!

    WOW! Yah, that'll work !!! I suppose that IS the one I was thinking about 8)

    It looks like the FPH wasn't tilted back quite as far in your pic, which affected the green cheek areas a bit, BUT since you weren't even trying for that perspective for a comp, it's bordering CREEPY Great Job man !

    My thoughts exactly, Alex I feel your pain bro I started my FPH by spraying it silver then remembering I was going topical so i had to start again, Ive just got my base colours down and am starting to detail the cheeks, mine however is not even a tenth as pretty as yours, YOU the man :thumbup

    Re: JB Project/ FPH Helmet

    I've been seeing a lot of "topical is better" and am wondering if this is the general concensus. I wanted to paint mine from the inside out, as it were, but since I've been seeing a lot of topical supporters I'm starting to wonder if I should change my mind. If so, what are the main reasons for this?

    Re: JB Project/ FPH Helmet

    There's no definite option that is better. It's a matter of personal preference. Topical allows you a bit more control with how exact you are with your scratches but layered gives it more of a realistic damage look. The real helmet had both at the same time so it's really up to you.

    exactly....
    I used to be a "strictly Layered guy"...but when you end up seeing Topical results come out the same, or even better than layered...that's one of the reasons we changed for this project.

    Same for me, I was so impressed with Superjedi's FPH which was done using the topical method, except the back I think? I thought I'd give it a try myself, so far so good, really must get some pics up!

    I think the biggest reasons I like the tropical method is because you can just hang out on the beach in the warm sunshine, sipping a pina colada while. . . oh. . . topical--
    Nevermind.

    Re: JB Project/ FPH Helmet

    Think I'll chime in here real quick on the topical vs layered topic.

    Yes, we know that the real screen used helmet had both tchinques. However, from my recent research, I am under the impression that the real deal was mostly topical. SO...IMO it comes down to what you are going to be doing with your bucket & how accurate do you wanna be.

    Topical is great, BUT...In my experience, a layered job looks way more realistic in person if you are close up & oogling over a persons costume!!! (remeber, when the original was painted it was intened for screen use) On screen or in pics, a topical job looks killer, and if you are a master painer like Spidey, DM, or FP, then you can match the original scratch for scratch. BUT, for many of us, (myself included,) its tough to make a layered job look realistic looking when viewed in person, Many topical jobs I've seen have a dabbed on look. (No offence meant guys...I'm pretty shure the real one looks like that in person too!! )

    So really, something everybody should consider when painting their new buckets, is how are you gonna use it???? If you are an active 501st'er & have tons of people getting in your face for pics etc, you may wanna lean towards layered for realisms sake. If you are a an accuracy freak & wanna get as close to orignal as possible, you might wanna lean more towards topical. Either way is fine IMO. I really haven't decided which way I'll do my next bucket. In a perfect world, it would be nice to have two helmets...one really accurate topical for the display, and one real looking layered for troopin. but that aint gonna hapen for me.

    Sorry to veer away from the thread topic Spidey. Again, superb looking bucket!!!!!

    Re: JB Project/ FPH Helmet

    I'm of the club that you do what you're comfortable with and in the end as long as you're happy with the results than that's all that matters. With me, when I painted my MSH2 I didn't have the ability to do the layered... people weren't making stencils for other people to use and it was a lot more work to do. I chose the topical method. However, when I got my FP2 armor I was able to use stencils (which helped a ton) and painted the armor layered. In the end I was happy with the results, I've got tons of compliments and had a great time.

    It's all up to your individual choice. There is no right or wrong way to do it.

    Re: JB Project/ FPH Helmet

    ..Both well said Webchief and Jango's Kid..

    Everything until now has been topical on this helmet...
    the back does have a layered step that I always use regardless if I do ALL topical or ALL layered.......

    • used masking fluid and added the dark bluish green color on the back...
    • also had time to start painting the ears...yes, ALL paint, no decals...even the white part. Now that was tricky...
    • And well I took this pic for kicks..8)....thought it looked cool.
    • Thanks for the great feedback, more updates coming.

    Wow. I didn't think there would be this much input on the topical vs layered question. LOL Sorry to have caused a chunk of your thread to be somewhat off-topic spideyfett. On the other hand, thanks all for the great input. I want my helmet to be a look good in-hand, up-close job, so I think I'll go with my original plan, which is to go layered. Not tropical - er, topical.

    That being said, this is still an awesome demonstration of how to paint a Fett lid... no matter what method one chooses to use.

    Awesome! Simply awesome! I never get tired of the paint ups especially of this magnitude. I always seem to learn a new technique or shortcut from you guys. Jeremy is going to be stoked. Keep up the awesome work Spidey.:thumbup

    So FP, Did you give him the helmet numbered #1, or did you keep that one for yourself?

    He gave up #2 to JB so I guess #1 is his to keep!

    Re: JB Project/ FPH Helmet



    I'm more humble than that, I don't even have one for myself yet Actually, Evan4218 has #1. It's not numbered, but it was the very first pull. I started numbering them at #3 Jeremy's will be numbered and signed by "The Master Jedi Painter" when complete Can you imagine that? Instead of Jeremy signing a helmet for a fan, a "Fan" is signing a helmet for the "Man" ! How cool is THAT !! 8)

    Thanks for all the great comments on the FPH guys !

    Spidey, you rock man ! I can't wait to see this thing finished !!

    This is quite simply nothing short of jaw-droppingly stunning The bucket, the paintjob, the ears

    Jeremy will have a "better" suit than what he wore in ESB&ROTJ. Better being a relative term, of course8).

    That dent looks wicked Alex...! Love the additional shading you have put in there, gives it a real dented metallic look?

    'does that even make sense' - Just mean it looks stressed... (I'm gonna just stop typing)

    I'm currently using this as my painting template... :o

    That is saweeeeeeet !!!! The "cat scratch" looks beautiful! And I can see where you're going with the dent .... heh heh ... niiiiiiiiiiiiiice And I think you NAILED the rusty dirty grime in the "Turn Signals" ... it looks just like the AoSW exhibit !
    Anyone else notice that "subtle" first trace of weathering spatter going on there? Alex is even doing that in stages ... that's probably #1 of about 10 !

    Shhh, you're giving away my "secrets"......

    no really I think it's best to work in stages, before the final weathering effects go on...

    Thanks everyone for the comments so far.

    I liked what Alex had done with it so far... all those little details/shades of Silver and Grey's to highlight distressed metal? Nice touch. 8)
    So that said... Get em up Alex...
