the only thing i am doing different is using mustard instead of masking fluid
I don't get it.

The dark green is by Tamiya, it is simply called 'Green' I think it needs a black wash to make it a little darker, Webchief pointed this out to me over on the RPF.
I just checked, its PS-9 Green, all the colours are picked by me, I dont have an airbrush or any experience with an airbrush so I chose to go this way, if the results are good then Im going to hopefully get an M_S 3 and try to progress my skills, if any

Ok, time to update, ive been busy adding the 'Red' to the mandibles, I seriously underestimated how long it would take to mask off the silver areas I wanted to leave, after about an hour solid of masking I added the red, at first it appeared to have gone on to heavy and I was more than a little concerned, however after 3 hours I removed the maskol and was pretty happy with what I got, Ive also added some of the dark/light grey around the scratches, Ive been mainly using the fantastic ref photos available (thanks Braks) even though Its not 100% Im happy with how its progressing, again please let me know your thoughts on this, Ive not yet added the black wash to the cheeks, thats to come tommorow, right now I need a large coffee and a sit down, thanks for your interest
PS once this helmet is complete I will be compiling a list of the colours I used, just incase anyone is interested.

Ok, I promise more photos are on their way, Ive finished the kill marks, I did these by hand, mixed up my colour til I was happy with the shade, then I drew the outlines with a pencil which I then went over using a toothpick and very small amounts of paint, once dried I filled them in, also the pics of the RF will be going up, stay tuned

Heres some shots of the Bobamaker RF top, many thanks to Daz for this awesome addition to my helmet:cheers Also you can see my first attempt at the killmarks, Im fairly happy overall but I will definitely add a shade more yellow as they are a bit too orange, as always I welcome all comments and criticisms enjoy

WOW great Job HH...
Did you darken those under cheeks? Looks like ya did, they came out great.
On the Kill-Stripes you may just want to use the "PASTEL" technique to darken. It works.

I did black wash the under cheeks but I am still not 100% happy and so Im going to try the pastel method, also the colour on the rear is not anyway near finished, ive mixed up a good blue wash to add to it as I feel it has a definite blue tone.
