Nice spare lid ya got there...
Colours look pretty good! but I'm no Jango expert and I'm sure some other Jango seniors can chime in to help.
Nice kit Phil, gonna look sharp once done!

I think the contrast is a little too much and the light blue is a little too light.

Yea, I think that the light blue should be darker, and that the inner cheeks should be slightly darker...what paints are you using?

Nice looking lid. How much more was it than the plain version listed on Daz's site?

the darker blue should have almost a tint of green to it. The lighter blue is off on the shade.

This is interesting.

I have given the whole painted area a shot of pale blue, which was darken down with a touch of the mixed darker blue, and I am pretty happy with the shade now.

For the darker blue I have a nice colour mixed, the samples in the photos do not show it very well. However I intend to have a look at some Royal Blues, I understand Seeker uses Rustoleum Royal Blue? Can't see the greener tint in a royal blue? Any and all comments welcome, I need Phil to be 100% sure on the colour here.

Thanks, Rob.

the helmet is the real one. It was an exibition in Milano.
For the paint, it's a RAL paint charts

On my helmet i made a mix with Ral 5000 and Ral 5001.

Thanks Dark Side and Firstsonofsolo, that gave me the break through I was needing. I put the Ral's (which I understand well) and the green tint together and think I got it.

The photos are not showing the colour, but this is how the shade of light blue has changed. Darker being the new shade, based on an ocean type colour (blue green not sky blue)

And on the mandibles

I took one of the darker shade against the new lighter blue too, but the lighting has distorted the colours, the light blue is the same as the photo above? Will get a better on tomorrow. The Darker blue is now more of a green/blue and they are working very well to me when seen by eyes.
