FINISHED? Malone Fett ESB conversion and paint up!

Will you have a color list for this when your done? Im curious as to what changes you'll be making. I started using your paint list and have since changed some colors and am curious to compare :)

Anyways the suspense is kiling me, i cant wait for you to start laying colors down! :)
 
I'm anxious to see what you use for the dome and cheeks.

Me too!

Here's the first 'base' layer, good old 147 darkened a smidgen with 96. The overall effect is to darken the colour a couple of shades, with a blueish/ greenish tint. Sounds complicated.

Thanks guys, I have a selection of tools that I use to reproduce the mark making on the masking layers, these marks do differ slightly between layers, some sharper some softer. This test panel is a mock up so not accurate in detail. It's a shame because other than replicating the ESB detail I could paint an entire helmet in a day using this technique...
 
What mix are you using for your back panels? I tried using the mix you described in your last thread and ended up with a greenish gray, rather than the blueish green like yours turned out. Super excited to see another helmet paint thread.

I have tweaked pretty much all of my colour mixes, details will follow...

Slow progress as work gets in the way: a pic of the set I had to build...

Rear panels started with base grey and silver layer added...

The Fett painting skills really came in handy...

Great skill- I had to double check if it was the top cathedral or the bottom village was the real vs created set.
assuming the old village is the set as not many people get around promoting Indian Cholera!
 
Yup, looking great as expected. Attention to details already paying dividends. I love this MF helmet too; for me it's the daddy.

Will you be sharing your tweaked paint list in full?
