Maybe the gray is layered under the white? You can't tell from that pic...
Spidey, thanks so much for sharing this info. As always, your input on paint is dead on. Man o man, were my color choices wrong or what?? lol.
I am surprised that C&O Enchantment Blue is not the upper cheek color. This was Lee's/RS choice for his ROTJ helmets, and I've always assumed its the accepted (read: "official") color for ROTJ and its Sandy painted brethren (like the PP2). Interesting indeed!!!
[*]Mandibles: Wisconsin Central Maroon (Floquil/ Polly Scale SKU# F110282)
So the white on the back of the ROTJ appears to be the same? Is it the gelcoat? Is it paint?
Here's a pic of RS colors as ROTJ compared to mine.... not showing the compare shot to start anything, i promise, just want to show the differences between the two. I will say that with everything Fett, RS colors were a great start for me, there's no denying that...I just felt, as many did, that they needed some serious adjusting.
How many years the RS helmet has? I ask because of the few helmets RS painted in the RotJ scheme, long time ago, he used the ESB colours except for the back and the killstripes. What I want to say is that the Lee's RotJ list is too old and, if I'm not wrong, he must have searched for new colours since then, so you can't compare an "Apple I" with a "Mac Pro"...
BTW, your colours look really nice except for the red, I think it's just too brown while the the RotJ red looks to be more on the pink zone, not too much, but a little bit.
I would say that the colors of the ROTJ should be close...being they were painted by the same person...theres are a few pics out there of the PP2 helmet but alof them dont show all the angles. Im really debating what I want to paint my first GMH. Id like to have like 6 of them to paint different ways each in all honesty but finances wont allow that right now. The dome and upper and lower cheeks are very close in color to the ROTJ...problem your gonna have is the back of the helmets areas...where there is very little reference and the refernce there is, is very poor...but once again VERY similar to the ROTJ hunter green with misting of grey paint...right ear looks the same style as well...I would get CC ears if possible get them looking like metal then go over them with dark grey and brown and then sand away the paint to get the effect...thats what i did for my ROTJ ears on my MS3...the left ear looks similar but also looks green in some of the pics there arent great pics of that side fo the helmet......The Red trim is a brighter looking red...kill stripes all but two appear to be the same red orange as the ROTJ the last two seem faded...theres alot of physical damage to the helmet in the pics not just the masked damage...to get that effect i would get the layered green over the silver and go back with a exacto once dry its a long process but it works...anyone have a better idea that that and im all ears...this is for the tiny stuff you cant mask...on this and the ROTJ theres "carbon" around alot of the damage i like to dry brush this on top of the green once its dry hope to get mine soon just dont know which style i want to do
Nah, I just keep allot of cr@p*..LOL!! I think it was on one of Arts Ref CD's way back when...alex u got all the good pics
