Nice job!
That would make an appropriate starter helmet.

wickedbeard said:wow!!!! thats steep.Oh well..if people are willing to pay that, more power to ya.I will stick to being affordable.lol
Ok first of all Thanks for all the kind words of support, to those who gave it.evan4218 said:I say ya get what ya pay for. Folks like DM, Spidyfett, and FettFullof$$ all put tons of quality into there buckets and have spent many hours pefecting there skills and there own unique method of doing there paint jobs. I personaly try and give the best product I can deliver and out do my last paintjob and attention to detail every time. For the the level of accuracy and just over all quality the painters on this board give, $300 is a STEAL!

Second of all I think my work speaks for itself.I think there are some fabulous artists here and I applaud all of them.They do great work and if people buy from them ...GREAT i am happy for them, if they buy from me...GREAT, as they are still getting a top notch item, just less expensive.
I purely give the treatment to people that i would want given to me.
And when it comes to the above quote I am no different then what you described.I just do not charge a fortune for something i enjoy doing.
I give 100% to all my customers, i am fair, and I strive to make people happy, and i have really good attention to detail, just the ones that matter.
sorry to all those who are kind and supportive, i just get a little upset when my work is belittled.I take it a bit personally.I do not do that to anyone else, so i would appreciate it not being done to me.
Thank you...come again.

i've been asked a couple of times on here to do rotj paintjobs for people. i figured out how much time i spent on mine and what i'd charge per hour fro work. the end result was that it would cost WAY more than $300 to get me to do it for someone else.
some folks on here just want a nice looking costume. from what i've seen here, wickedbeard does just that. if you figure $80 for the rubies bucket and $150 for painting it, and you've got yourself a great helmet for under $300 total.
others want one that shares every dent, scratch and fingerprint from the originals, painted with the same brands of paint, etc... etc... the marrow sun helmet that darth miller bought comes to mind. i've never seen another helmet go up for sale that compares to that. but, if i remember right, the price was somewhere around 4-5 times that $300 figure.
i think it's important for the people like myself in the latter category to remember that not everyone wants to spend $1000 on unpainted armor.
i think it's equally important for the people in the former category to remember that there are some people on here that will stop at nothing to have the most perfect suit possible.
