"It\'s not easy being green"* Colors are now here ****

The Tuscan and Imperial Naval Green look dead-on to me. I don't know where people are getting this "bluish-green" from.

Hey Webchief!!
I found the Japanese Navy Green but only by Tamiya, will this still work?

The back of the helmet ESB is bluish green.

I've slowly started weathering my helmet. It's far from finished, but I just added the silver to the mandibles and had to share. It's just crazy what the flash will do to the colors.

Hey Boba Phat, a couple questions for you: ;)

Did you paint the kill marks on? (if yes, did you use a template?)
Do you use the Grun for the left earpiece too?
What is your visor made of?
And shouldn't the upper cheeks be a more flatter black?
Finally, what different colors did you use in that pic for the scratches?

Thanks! And sorry for all the questions! :D

PS: That helmet looks phat dude! I mean it!! I can't wait to see the rest of the weathering!

Bobo

Just checking in for any updates on unidentifieds.

I hate to seem like a vulture, picking at the advice and (possibly, very) expensive research of others. I did want to say thanks, if I haven't already for all of this.

THANKS!

Geoff

P.S. As far as I can see with my very unauthoratative eyes, everyone that has begun painting using the prescribed colors is pulling it off with amazing results!

Boba Phat, how did you do your wheathering? It looks great so far! Did you add it on after painting the other colors, or did paint your bucket silver first and then mask it off? These colors are looking great on your buckets!!

Sorry, but I just read through this post (again) and wanted to revive it with two questions:

Is the Tuscan Red what we have decided on?
What happened to the ROTJ colors?

And if there hasnt been anything found yet for the ROTJ colors what is everyone using? I didnt like the colors I chose last time.

Hey Phat nice job on the helmet. I can relate to flash thing.

Hey, guys thought I would revive this old thread and see if anyone has any knew discoveries and ask if anyone has used Euro Dark Green (Model Master) for the Blueish Green?

I used the Euro Dark Green for the back of mine and for the armor. I think it looks pretty nice, but hey, that's just me!

Doug

This maybe a silly question but anyone know the blueish green color that is the upper cheaks on the pre-pro #2 suit? Same question for the mandibles?

We're(Lynn, Tyler, RS) trying to dig that color up now.

Lee

Great. I can't wait to hear what they are so I can finnish my helmet.

The inner cheek color for the 2nd PrePro (not the eyes helmet) is pretty much the color they used on Jedi. I think they did go back and weather the cheeks for Jedi, though making them a bit more "grey."

And that makes it what color ? Also do we have any ideas on the mandibles ?

Sorry...just moving this thread up to the
top of the list so i can find it easier next
time around. I'll be getting my MLC Boba helmet
soon (hopefully), so i wanted to revisit this
thread to get the closest to correct ESB paints.

Check back soon going to have a color list at Dragon con and I'll have it posted that night as well.

Lee

Can't wait to see the list at DC! :)

This is an excellent thread!!!

Can anyone tell me a source for this stuff in the UK, and specifically what I'm looking for given that most of the brands mentined look US-only?

Many thanks

You may want to contact Micke or Fett-UK they both live across the pond and could help you find the right colors.

Jez, my local hobby shop stocks testors paints. I can see if they are able to get colours to order, or whether they just get what they are given.

Mail me or PM me with the colours you're after.

Cheers,

Si

Cheers for the help Guys.

Han Hunter - you've got a pm

So now it is after DC what was the big news about colors from Rogue Stuidos ?? What are the colors or what ever he was going to say?

I made a separate post. But basically I told anyone who wanted to know the colors to just ask me and I would give it to them needless to say no one asked so I figured it wasn't that big of deal anymore. But for those of you who had to stay home I'll have them up soon. I just woke up and still tired as crud.
