ESB Helmet Damage?

A

Am I correct that there are only primarily three "spots" on the left side of the helmet that show damage/physical imperfections (besides the dent, obviously)? One gash on the front mandible, one inside the front dark part of the cheek, and another shortly before the ear piece?

Also, are there any really good reference photos for the ESB damage?

Thanks in advance,
Justin
 
You are almost correct. The left side has only 2 physical scratches (the rectangular indent on the left upper cheek is present on all helmets), while the right side has 1 tiny scratch and a big crack along the right upper cheek:

also a bulge in the right cheek area....as ponte has pointed out...not sure if you'd call that physical damage or not but it is something that no one has incorporated into their sculpt

or the crack in the right cheek in front of the ear. such fantastic blemishes that make the ESB helmet so unique, left out of every sculpt i've seen aside from the ROTJ stunt helmets that were actually cast from it.

i know bud, not trying to steal Raf's thunder, was merely echoing your point that details like the bulge and cheek crack never made it to any of the current sculpts being offered, unlike the wavy brow and a couple gouges. i just love me some crack han brolo [emoji8]

Is there any additional physical damage present on the ROTJ SE helm?

Also, I'm aware that there are more topical scratches and subtle paint variances, however, which Rafalfett paint stencils should I be using for an ROTJ SE build?

Once again, thanks for the very helpful imput!
 
Yeh the crack on the helmet is pretty serious Ponte addressed that in his paint thread there I linked. and there are a few chunks missing on the bottom of the cheeks
