ROTJ PAINT UP (WIP)

Ive spent the night pouring CC resins,plain resins and drilling in to the lid to make mounting points for my ears
Ive just given them a coat of engine enamel black ( to get that tar look when i sand the weathering in to them) as aposed to normal flat black

Ive skrewed the inner ear in place (i know there screws are wrong iv got some cheese heads on the way) But for a visual it works
.. And this is what the mounting looks like inside , in the past iv been a fan of magnets but i think i prefer this way
 
Igot the cheeks paintefd i used the same colours as b4 ,
but instead of putting on thik layers I stood back i2 meters and realy lightly dusted it up after using the same colours as b4

Great helmet. I like the paint and the weathering you've done on this. Keep up the good work... And keep on coming!

Respect!
 
jinto the left triangle should be blue not green...just something u might wanna fix...not to bad a job...i think If it was me Id try and get the mandibles more straight they seem to bow? I think thats the word I want to use kinda ( ) not I I u know what Im saying...Id cut the visor out mount the visor taped up after I straightened them out with sanding...and then paint from there...something to think about for whoever...
 
Blue hay ,, Thanx; i didnt look at ref pics for that , i should have, and as for the visor its just sitting in there it hasnt been fitted in there yet ,
And im giving the cut out a sand with sand paper over a flat peice of wood to straighten the edges but there pretty straight, it looks worse in the pic cos of the skratch on the top right corner (it curves in so it creates an illusion of ( ) but im gonna have a hack at it none the less
 
Yeah i think this looks more so on pix as when i place a ruler against it it sits flush,
But for the people who are getting these, it is easily fixed when cutting the T section out. ;)
