I'm referring to the pics from the EFX moulding video of the ESB hero. There is an image of the helmet with the right hand ears off where we can see the platforms. There appears to be yellowish areas within the base grey colour, possibly a layer beneath the grey... I'll see if I can find a picture...

Here are the images:
And the base gray is the same on the right ear platform and in the silver scratches:

Remember, remember. . .
I got the circuit board mounted in the keyslots. Had to use a flash to get the details,
so the colors are a little blown out.
I also got the base coat down on the RF ear parts yesterday, and today started the
detail painting with the lower half. The ear is just hanging by the bolts, so it's not quite
in the proper position.
I'll work on masking and painting the black arch on the upper piece next. Once all the
detail painting is complete, the RF ear parts will get some light pastel weathering, then
a flat coat. Once the flat coat is on, I'll mask and spray the metallic portions.

Forgive me if you have posted this in one of your other threads and I just missed it but how do you go about attaching the ears on these helmets? Clearly it is with some sort of screw but are you sinking nuts into the ears and then screwing the bolts into them from inside the helmet or sinking screws into the ears and have the bolts on the inside of the helmet or some other way?

Hi Pred,
No problem. Check this thread for a more detailed description of my ear attachment method.
It's in post #21.

I've been using this method for resin ears for several years now.

Sweet! Thanks for the info.
One quick question about it, do you fill in the hole you created to level it off or just coat the top of the screw head?

I use enough epoxy so that the screw heads are completely coated, but
I don't necessarily get it so it's level with the surface.
I have had the epoxy dry so that it comes slightly above the surface (not on
purpose) and it's generally not a problem because the holes in the sides of the
helmet are a little larger.

Thanks, guys!
FINAL UPDATE: November 13, 2013
The helmet is complete. This project ran 56 days, and it was a whole lot of fun!
Here's a final selection of pics.
Thanks Mathias for trusting your GMH to me!
This will be the first Superjedi helmet to leave North America, and it will begin its
journey to its new home on Friday.
Thanks also to everyone who was following along with the paint up.
