PP2 WIP

Here's my first attempt at the PP2 helmet paintjob. Its a rather hurried job on a ebay MH I had left over from before TDH. More to come.

Nice job! Haven't seen one of these done for a while. Was considering doing a PP2 for a while there but ended up going ROTJ. Looking forward to seeing more progress

Cheers

Great job there! Hey, I notice there's a "Biltmore garage" sign in that last pic. That wouldn't be the Biltmore just out of Asheville would it?
 
Thanks guys! More progress on this soon.

No. LOL I wondered if someone would ask me about that. It's actually a sign from Guys and Dolls, a high school musical I starred in. It lives here in my messy room at home (Im 21 and I live with my parents Ok? When I get to be 40 then I'll worry;))

very cool!

hey what's the clone on the background from? i have never seen that standee before.

That is a standee from Frito Lay that I won in a contest from K-Mart back when AOTC came out. I feel really bad that you havent seen it SEEKER because the whole time you were making your armor I was thinking, "I bet this is what he's using because it's a really helpful front on shot for referencing almost all the parts except the forearms.":facepalm I can take a better picture if you like.

Nice start! Is your green base Panzer Olive Green?

Yes it is. I altered the color a bit with some blue/grey color to try to get closer to the ROTJ/PP2 green. I am going to overspray the whole helmet with a grey later on to match what I precieve the PP2 had done to it.
 
Made a bit more progress. I added and refined some damage.

I agree, great job man!! Not enough PP fetts around, and that is an interesting standee I'd never seen that one either, cant believe Turo didn't have that image already lol :lol: Keep those pics coming and that beard (y)
 
Updates!

I painted some more damage and added the kill stripes. I really dont have very good reference of the killstripe side of the helmet so there was alot of guess work there.

The ears are **** and I want to replace them soon. Also note that the borden was sanded off and will be replaced by a Marrow Sun part when I get to it.

The first picture I added a visor to in paint make it look better.

You can see some of the weathering I am doing in this picture. The dremel marks are a bit off but not enough to bother me.

Here's one with flash to see the colors in different light.
