My ESB Helmet **UPDATE**

This is where the fun begins.......again :lol:

Ok after a short break and a period of swearing blind I would never do another ESB helmet I am having another go and this one will be (hopefully) better than the last, This is following on from my paint up of my old FPH #16! which is now in the posession of our very own Bobby Fett Uk, at the time I was backed into a financial corner so I had to let go of my FPH, not an easy thing to do trust me! But now thanks to a good friend I have got ahold of this helmet casting which I intend to paint up to form the crown of my 12.53% complete ESB suit, here is a pic, the only one I have so far to show where I am, basic trimming done, lots of dust down the back of my shirt etc etc, stay tuned for this as I will be again following the advice of Lee Rogue Studios as far as colours go, with a few little twists here and there, thanks guys and girls (y)

Are you sure that it is FPH #15? If it is, the helmets have learned to spawn themselves...or maybe a little mitosis for all you biology nerds. Thing is, I have a FPH #15 in my possesion at this very moment. Could it be from a different run?? Weird...
 
As soon as I saw #15 I was like huh?

More trimming and primer coat #1, going back for a second all over sanding with some finer grit wet and dry to get any imperfections dealt with (y)

Chris you got a PM (y) I was hoping to get a little paint down on this helmet over the weekend but another project took all my primer, cheers Gav ;) So I have spent my time going over details like the keyslots again, just to make sure its all ship shape, as well working out a nice method to secure my Borden, I managed to make it removable for painting - method to follow (y)
