WIP PP1 EYES VERSION FOR ThirdEthree

**dynamic1** · 08-01-2012, 08:54 PM

Alright guys- After some poking, prauding and straight up dirty bounty hunting from deadland and thirdEthree : ) I have agreed to partake in a PP1 “Eyes” version paint up for in fact…ThirdEthree. Last week began the preliminarywork of sizing Raffs wonderful stencils using Microsoft pub. Upon receiving the lid today (a Beautiful FP CC by ASOK) I was able to begin the initial stages of prepping. Tomorrow I plan to trimming out and mounting the visor section. The tedious art of stenciling and masking out the damage will then insue. As always, suggestions are welcome guys : ).

**thirdEthree** · 08-01-2012, 09:19 PM

I'm totally psyched. I know you're going to do a killer job!!

**RafalFett** · 08-02-2012, 12:29 AM

Altough you didn't mentioned, I think you already have in mind to fill in the dent and adding that long, deep scratch on the left-top of the dome. Just saying...

Can't wait to see the next updates!

**dynamic1** · 08-02-2012, 06:17 AM

Hey Raff- yep forgot to mention...will be filling the dent shortly : )

**Fett 4 Real** · 08-02-2012, 07:05 AM

Did one a year or so ago totally a cool helmet!

**dynamic1** · 08-02-2012, 07:14 AM

Id love to see yours fett..you have a thread??

**Fett 4 Real** · 08-02-2012, 07:33 AM

had to look hard for this...didnt bite me

**deadland** · 08-02-2012, 08:48 AM

ThirdEthree your lid is in good hands. Brian I will be watching this every step of the way!!!

**thirdEthree** · 08-02-2012, 09:47 AM

Thanks Deadland, you should stand over his shoulder the whole time. Intimidation tactics!

**deadland** · 08-02-2012, 12:07 PM

Na no need for that your lid is in capable hands!! In fact I am sure that he will be bring it over for our little get together on Saturday to get some work done on it.

**shabad** · 08-02-2012, 12:37 PM

This will be great, I love this helmet and want my next helmet to be this. Superjedi has painted one that I saw in person that was fantastic, he might have a paint up thread.

**dynamic1** · 08-02-2012, 02:29 PM

Thanks Shabad..Ill take a look

**dynamic1** · 08-03-2012, 10:33 PM

Here we are guys! All sectioned off and ready to begin. And, I have to say the filled dent is as smooth as a fem fetts.well..I think you guys get it : ). Over the weekend I will as usual be starting w/ the back panels.

**RafalFett** · 08-03-2012, 11:36 PM

It looks smooth and shine! I guess you will add all the physical damages to the helmet, the same 3 from the PP3/ESB helmets.

**superjedi** · 08-04-2012, 02:54 AM

Love the Pre-Pro helmets!

Hey Raff- Yep..I do all of the physical dammage last...this way you have the paint damage as a guide : )

**Fett 4 Real** · 08-04-2012, 09:00 AM

You do what now? You paint then add damage and repaint the damaged area?

**dynamic1** · 08-04-2012, 10:31 PM

Hey Fett- Yep, exactly. But, only if needed. For example with the large gash above the left "eye", once I complete the dome ill add the gash between the preceding colors. In this case I dont feel (IMHO) theres a need to address with paint once the crevas is etched in as an actual bullet graze would simply reveal the elements beneath the damage. I have just found it easier to move in this order? Thanks buddy

**superjedi** · 08-05-2012, 05:02 AM

Just a tip for that long gouge, if you'll indulge me:

I marked the location on the dome with a pencil, then did the gouge
using a metal file with a triangular profile. That way, I could taper
the gouge so it's deeper in the middle and kind of rises to the surface
at both ends. That's the way it looks to me in the ref pics anyway.

*Shrug* Just a suggestion.

**Fett 4 Real** · 08-05-2012, 05:16 AM

same here with mine

**dynamic1** · 08-05-2012, 09:19 AM

Thanks guys! Yes this is helpful

**dynamic1** · 08-13-2012, 02:09 PM

Hey guys- Just a quick update. Back panels are complete w/ the exception of some picking. On to the mandibles and trim tonight : ).

**deadland** · 08-13-2012, 02:58 PM

Looking good bro!!

**RafalFett** · 08-13-2012, 11:21 PM

Excellent attention to detail! Keep up the great job!

**dynamic1** · 08-14-2012, 06:45 AM

Thanks Rob and Raf!

**dynamic1** · 08-16-2012, 10:54 AM

**Chucko** · 08-17-2012, 09:10 PM

Great work Brian.

**dynamic1** · 08-19-2012, 10:46 AM

Sorry for the delay guys..its extremely hot here in Cali (105) so the paint is taking a bit longer to dry. Anyhow, back on track. Finished the mandibles! I will stencil and mask out the cheeks tonight. These should be finished by Tuesday leaving only the key slots and dome : )...Will update accordingly.

**dynamic1** · 08-22-2012, 11:30 AM

Heres a sneak peak guys. Still have some picking to do but wanted to get a quick pic up. Will have cheeks completed by Friday and then begin initial stages of the dome : ).

**deadland** · 08-22-2012, 12:15 PM

Hey guys- Not the best photo but I wanted to give a quick update before I head out to work...Dome by Sat or Sun.

**Jayvee** · 08-24-2012, 07:51 AM

**dynamic1** · 08-29-2012, 07:26 AM

**deadland** · 08-29-2012, 08:43 AM

Looking good bro!!!

**RafalFett** · 08-29-2012, 10:43 AM

Killer paint job! The dome looks awesome (it look a bit funny without that big gash, but I know you will add it on the final stages).

**dynamic1** · 09-01-2012, 10:38 AM

Hey Guys- Just a little teaser for everyone. I should have this bad boy complete by Monday and ready for Ryanrubios glamour shots : )

**dynamic1** · 09-07-2012, 09:11 PM

Hey Raf..thanks for everything man! If not for your stencils we'd all be flying blind : )!

**RobaFett** · 09-07-2012, 10:09 PM

I am drooling! that looks awsome!

**deadland** · 09-07-2012, 11:51 PM

Well done dude I hope I get to see it before you send it off!!!

**Fett Seven** · 09-07-2012, 11:58 PM

Hey Brian, great job, I think you're ready to go Pro

**superjedi** · 09-08-2012, 03:51 AM

Excellent! I like this version of the PP1 over the "Ears" version.

**trooper18938** · 09-08-2012, 04:48 PM

Awesome paint job! does anyone else think the eyes look like pigeons facing each other? ILM used variations of decals and images from the 70's on some helmets, like the Fox Racing image on Luke's "Blast Shield Helmet"

**Fetteaser** · 09-08-2012, 05:36 PM

Seriously amazing job!!

**sleepalot** · 09-08-2012, 06:52 PM

Sweet paint job d1

**dynamic1** · 09-08-2012, 09:27 PM

Thanks Sleepalot, Fetteaser, Frooper and SJ!!! All of you input is appreciated.

**dynamic1** · 09-09-2012, 10:28 PM

**thirdEthree** · 09-09-2012, 10:54 PM

Brian, I can't say thank you enough. Im completely psyched at awesome this turned out. I think convincing you to take on this project was the perfect choice. Between professionalism and enthusiam, you proved to be one hell of artist and a complete asset to the dented helmet community. I know you squeezed this project into a hectic personal schedule and it's greatly appreciated. Thanks to the guys who contributed to the project as well, ryanrubio95, Fett seven, and deadland. Good looking out guys.

**dynamic1** · 09-10-2012, 06:54 AM

Alright- Without further ado...Here are the final Glamour shots on this bad boy. Eric, thanks for your kind words and allowing me to do this piece for you as it was a blast. Special thanks to deadland, Fettseven and rubio95 for their support on this poject...On to the "Ears" : )

Brian bro you killed it man!!!! That lid is a thing of beauty!!! Seeing this make me want to do one now as it is one of my favorite lids besides ESB of course.

**rubio95** · 09-10-2012, 09:32 AM

Everything about this lid turned out great. It was a pleasure to handle and a pleasure to shoot.

And bytthe way, Brian, it's rubio95.

Good stuff, gents!

**dynamic1** · 09-10-2012, 09:55 AM

Thanks guys...fixed ryan : )

**superjedi** · 09-10-2012, 12:58 PM

Nice glamour shots! I wish I had a decent photography set up for my props.
I always think of this helmet as the "smiling frog" helmet.
