Evan! I'm glad to hear that the insignia red worked out
Just a note. I've painted the rear now, but i soon found out that the
Tamiya racing green were to bright and warm. My original plan was to mist the
Humbrol enamel 88 on top in order to get the color perfect, but that simply was not enough, so i repainted the whole rear with the
Humbrol enamel 88 which is slightly a more colder color. Now it looks spot on (to me atleast)! So please note that i've removed the racing green completely from the list.
This is how i did the rear:
I misted some grey primer, silver and black and masked of the scratched area before i painted the green color on top and removed the masking liquid. If you dont know what i talk about, check out the rear on the ROTJ helmet. It has the same type of scratches there.
These are the things left on the paintjob:
-Mist the earcaps, stalk with brown and black and gently sand the corners in order to get a weathered look.
-Paint the killstripes
-Paint the keyholes
-Add additional fine scratches with a needle
-fix some of the scratches as they dont line up as good as some of the others.
Other things are:
-Attach the visor
-Modify the stalk so it will get a more accurate thickness and attach the RF-top.
-Paint and install the circuitboard.
-Find 2 parts that resembles the greeblies on the circuitboard.
Pics soon!
