It'd be a sin to wear this armor. It should be in the Smithsonian.

Really good work bro. I'm getting ready to paint mine and I'd have to say that this tutorial is going to be very helpful. I've already learned quite a bit just by glancing over it, thanks!

Really really looking forward to the next update of this, you've helped me, and I'm sure, many others get their paintjobs looking topnotch. Loved the little pointers, e.g. pencil line around the decal. Mine's painted straight on with stencils but I took a trip down the workshed and added a few bits after seeing this!

....but it only works with ROTJ styled costumes (MOM/AOSW) because no high res versions of ESB exist enough to do it as perfectly as Ponte did.
I had to freehand my MOM version, but still spent hours and hours sitting in front of the computer with the high res photos from MOM, trying to match all the exact details I could as I painted. I did mine differently than Ponte, though. I did mine the way they did the MOM suit, which was mask off silver straight to green, and than hand paint the yellow around the silver spots.
