Ponte's FPH Deluxe ESB paintup. *Visor Trim Completed*

To answer your question James, too many hours, that's how long :D. I can't get a steady time to work on it since my work schedule is so hectic, so its pretty sporadic.

Just for a quick update, got the Silver, Reefer Gray, and Humbrol 73 + 104 (1:1) mixture applied onto the visor trim. I added a few more drops of 73 to give it a SLIGHTLY more reddish tint. Now I have to trace out the purple areas, have everything masked up, and slap on the Boxcar Red and I'm good to go with the visor trim (almost):

Where are the updates I was waiting for?!?! Bro after i talked to you I got that **** looking good realized i missed a spot with the green and you could see the silver through the green cause it was so thin there tried to get it right but ended up screwing it all up so I ended up sanding the dome back down and re spraying the silver, and re sprayed the green this morning after remasking all the damage, I did get very familiar with the different damage on the lid so Im gonna be through sometime might be in full ROTJ at CV

and how are you attaching the T visor? The one FP sent with mine is like shade 3 and you can for sure see my face through it got a shade 5 and you cant see through it but need to workout a way to secure it maybe chicago screws

Boxcar Red finally applied. Lots of little details that need to be hand-painted, but I think it came out rather well. Sorry about the super fog, the humidity in Virginia is ridiculous:
