Rubies repaint for Lexusnyny by Deadland

I did forget that I was going to take care of the upper and lower cheeks as well and I will do a little bit of work on the back to make it look a little bit more whole.
 
OHHHHHH thatll make a World of a difference! I was like it looks so bad *** everywhere but the cheeks and the back I was sad for a second
 
Alright got some more work done on this. I was able to get the upper and lower cheeks done as well as getting the two back panels done as well. That will leave me with the key slots and the trim on the back section of the bucket to finish up by this weekend so i ca work on ripping out the old t-visor and replacing it with a new one.

If you hadn't said anything, it'd be near impossible to tell it started it's life as a Rubies bucket. Great work!
 
I WISH I had the patience to paint the buckets the way you guys do. Freakin' sick, man. Just sick. I stare at my BobaMaker helmet all of the time in awe of the details on that thing, and how you guys make it look SO easy. I can paint, I've been painting Warhammer models with some wicked detail for over 20 years, but the pure accuracy that you guys put out REGULARLY and CONSISTANTLY on these helmets just blows my noggin.

Here is another quick little update, just need to finish putting in the visor and adding the clear coat. I will post up better pics Monday morning.

Rob,

Just wanted to let you know I received the helmet on the 28th and it is stunning. I am taking a airbrush class tomorrow just because I want to learn the craft.

Thank again for everything and hopefully we will do more business in the future..

Pete
 
That looks awesome, I plan on doing the same thing to my Rubies helmet, need some practice for when my BM bucket arrives in 14 to 16 weeks. Did you use stencils at all when masking the damage?
 
The difference is night and day. Great job on the paint-up. I'm surprised even rubies can sell garbage painted like that at any price.
 
When I got the thing It looked like a 8 year old with ADD painted it with one finger, at least I know that my novice painting skills will look better than the **** rubies puts out.
