UPDATE: February 5, 2014
Whew! Been busy with the boring real world the past few days, but I finally got
back into the Fett routine. I've been working on the RF ear parts the past couple
of days. The damage has been applied to the lower part, and I've gotten the
arches airbrushed onto the upper part.
The silver damage that you see on the lower part is scratched through to the base
metal with a number 11 X-acto blade.
I'll do the detail painting on the upper part next, then give both parts a light weathering
with some brown and gray pastel powders. After that I'll do the small markings.
I also got the Borden done. I applied a 2 layer wash. The first layer was a light beige, and
the second layer was a pale green. It gives the brass a patina while letting some of the
metal sheen come through. I finished by adding the small silver chips.
The Borden is not fixed in place yet. I won't glue it in until after the helmet receives
its final pass of dull coat. It'll keep the shine that way.
It's starting to come down to the wire now.
