Sithlord23's finished ESB helmet Pics!!

Hey all, well I haven't been posting much, as I've been busy working on getting my ESB Fett together. And I finally have some stuff worth showing. I have my MLC helmet that I painted. I took progress pics of my helmet, and alot of finished pics. I blinded myself staring at BraksBuddy's new ref. pics on the link he posted here not too long ago. I painted this with spray paint colors, so its not exact colors, but I'm happy with..I copied every little scratch as best I could! I used the mustard method I had been hearing about on here, it worked pretty well! And there were a little hand painted dabs here and there. My flash may have messed with colors a little..i.e. the yellow on the back is duller, and a little grayer, but its a little bright here...
Many thanks to Bountys Hunted and MLC for the sweet bucket. And BraksBuddy for posting those new pics of the SW exhibits with Fett, my helmet would not have turned out nearly as good without those pics! Thanks for looking!:cheers now some pics!
Comments & criticism always appreciated!

Never mind the Cobra Commander bucket8)

I'll have pics of my finished jet pack & gauntlets up tomorrow or so...

Looks completely bueatiful.

This whole time I heard of people using mustard on their helmets, I thought they were talking about the kind of paint, lol. I am curious though, is using the mustard technigue better than using the same paints on a sponge?

OHHH My!!!! Now thats a dandy!! Well done indeed!!! Lets see how the rest of that ESB suit is coming together;)

Uh, ya but seriously that is an awesome job. want to paint mine when I get it?

:D man i need to get that spray and mustard technique sometime... i dont even like mustard, think i can do it with mayonaise??

Way to go man, that helmet rocks!
There have been a lot of amazing helmets being showcased lately, I love it!

Very nice looking. You should be very happy with it. Got to love the mustard method. I use it on everything I paint and love it.

thanks guys!

Oh yes!! that is one excellent paint job, you should be very proud of that beauty.

WOW! Great paint job! You da man! (I have a strange craving for a hot dog...must me all of that mustard.) :drool

AWESOME job!
I'm curious about the mustard technique though. Do you paint the mustard on by brush, or just dab it on straight from the squeeze bottle?

Bull Fett, yeah you just use a really thin brush and paint it on where you want. I actually used a bigger brush on areas that needed more mustard to cover it. I.E. the dent, the whole keyslot back helmet area,....

great paint job buddy...
fantastic bucket!

Mason...

Would ya mind listing all the colors you used?
