SarlaccBits Helmet: In progress

Good work, its slow going I know. I also had to paint the mandibles by hand, I coundnt keep paint on it no matter what I did. it showed brush strokes but i went over it with 2000 grit wet sandpaper.
 
Thanks everybody!
I have had to put the helmet on the back burner for the last few days while I delt with some ugly drama. But its all over now! :)

I should have more pictures up in a few days... I will be off to paint here in a few minutes!



Also, my helmet is a mystery size helmet... I bought it on eBay about a month before I found TDH. Had I had known I would have bought here instead. I am mostly happy with my helmet... Its a good size and has a nice flair... but the cast was a bit sloppy in places and it took me a very long time + a ton of hard work to get it presentable.

I hope the ugly drama wasn't too ugly.
 
and I have begun to weather my helmet...
