Hi all,
I bought a Mystery helmet kit from SMGesus some time back and decided to paint it in the ROTJ scheme. The kit was missing the rangefinder and stalk but Chris aka Fettpride was kind enough to help me out in that department (thanks again, brother!).
Also thanks to Chris for the pics of his ROTJ helmet at his site which I used for reference since I found it hard to get good reference pics of the screen used ones. Anyway, I used the topical style since I'm more confident of controlling the weathering this way compared to the layered method. Besides, that was how I painted my ESB helmet 3 years ago.
Basic colors were spray painted on (rattle cans, baby! ) and details hand painted.
Anyway, on to pics:
