Thought you guys might like a few pics of my Skirata helmet I'm working on.

Looks great. Few questions: what bucket are you using? Love the scratches--what method(s) did you use? I've been considering some claw marks, so I'm especially interested in the marks that begin the three long scratches--the start of them, which I'll call punctures for lack of a better term, though I know they don't go all the way through the helmet. I'm also interested in your keyslot area--never been my favorite, so I'm always looking for alternatives. What items did you use there?

I'm looking very forward to where this helmet is going.
 
Looking forward to seeing the progress on this! Love the RC books and Kals Character. Nice work on those scratches!... Been thinking of doing a Vau once Boba's done!

Thanks guys.

The helmet is a Sgt. Fang

The scratches were done with an exacto blade. Just cutting and chipping away for hours to make it more jagged unlike a dremel would. I did smooth out some of the marks to give it that "welded" repair feel.

The keyslot area:
First I puttied up the entire section to make it level with the back of the helmet. Then I cut out the band section and used .08 styrene to make the box sides. From there, I did what any ILM model builder would, stick random model kit parts in there..lol
 
Thanks for the compliments guys.
Please feel free to post any complaints or suggestions too, I would like to hear all of it.
 
Are you finished with the weathering, or were you planning on a blackwash or some drybrushing? I was wondering if the edges of the scratches need some grime--to show they've been there for a while?
