The visor men, have you seen the visor? :cheers

Finding the right material to make the visor is still the most difficult challenge. Here in Europe, we don't have the required dark green faceshield. We have to order it in the US, but most of dealers don't sell outside of the US.

JK,

All I can say is WOW! Your paint job is definitely among the best ESB paint-ups I have seen.

That is definately one of the best ESB helmets we've ever seen.
Heres a question for you, how did you do the weathering? Did you draw on the damage like some do?
Keep up the Great work man. :)

Thanx guys:) Like I said before, it really means alot!!! BH185: Yeah, I took alot of time drawing the damage on with a soft pencil first, then I used liquid mask with a tiny applicator, then paint the next color. I really used all kinds of techniques for the damage, scratchthrough, topical, and pastels, but for the majority, I used the reveal with liquid mask. If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to answer them:) Thanx again for the comments:)

Jango's Kid, all I have to say is.... :eek: :eek: :eek: !!!

That is one killer ESB helmet dude, I can't believe that you made it look so good. I know I'm just adding to all the "ooh's and aah's" from this thread said by everyone! But you deserve it!

I hope my lights work well with this amazing bucket.;) If you get a chance, would you be able to take some pics of the lights installed? FP did an awesome job casting that thing (absolutely amazing), but you made it come to life!

Keep on doin' what you're doin!

Hey JK where did you get your liquid mask. I have looked for this stuff but can't find it anywhere but then again I don't really know what I am lookin for.
 
the stuff I used is called Incredible white mask-liquid frisket. I got mine at hobby Lobby, but have seen it other places too. it comes in a small bottle. look in the art section of your local hobby store, next to the artists paints.
