thanks again for all the encouragement, guys!! escho, it wasnt this pretty at the beginning...as boomer said it, i have improved, and your skills develope as you go...this is my FIRST ever ANYTHING to paint like this, so it has come along, and working with a fett lid, it helps cause it IS messy, and scratched up, and dirty, so you dont have to be perfect, and really, that is what makes it awesome, the fact that it isnt perfect....
i have seen that, and wasnt sure what color to use...awesome brother!!! so like the base metal color on the left side crack? and around the mandys and on the band in the back?
not the silver, but the lighter grey for base metal color...or are those one in the same? silver=base metal....? i used a testors color called "gunship grey" or maybe "battleship grey" for my base metal color....up by the t-visor slot, the end of it, on the left side and down the mandys, the ledge between the mandys and upper cheeks...
well, that time again to post some more progress on my mystery lid...i have been working on the dome lately, and have got some more on the back and the right side, behind the earpiece...i have yet to finish these areas, and still need to use the steelwool to blend some, but the idea is there...i messed up on the spacing with the right side of the dome, it seems to me that the damage area goes to high...but no turning back now... would love to have your input on these areas, thanks everyone!!
