Superjedi's MF-ESB for RPF member Al May

Thanks again! I appreciate the comments.

DAY 46: FINAL UPDATE

I finished the remaining assembly by epoxying in the circuit board, and the visor tabs. I trimmed the visor
to fit and got it in place. The RF is very simple to install, just a small machine screw and nut, so here is a
selection of final pics.

Hope the weathering and staining on the dome comes through in these pics. The color variations are subtle.

With the Christmas holiday fast approaching, I probably won't get to send this out until early next week.
Thanks to everyone who followed along--and especially to Al for trusting me with his MF cast. This was a rare
treat for a Fett fan to get to see one of these up close.
There are a few more pics on my Fett Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CounterFett...105078/?ref=hl

Wow....just wow. Funny, I went back thru your eary threads on paint ups, and they were really good. But the transition from being good to incredible is shown well right here. The circle is now complete. You are the Master.

Great job man. I am hoping to get a new helmet in late 2016, so I may hit you up for a paint commission.

Great helmet with an even greater finish.

"otherwise there's much wailing and gnashing of teeth" LOL!

I learn something new with each of your paint ups. Awesome job as always. Quick question, do you have a different preference for for topical paints as opposed to airbrushed? Or do you use the same for both?
Look forward to your next commission!

 

[superjedi]

Thanks! Not really. I still have a good supply of Polly Scale acrylics and I like to use those for both airbrushing and hand painting.
Although there are a couple of colors in the Tamiya and Testors Model Master acrylic lines that I use, too.
