A new paintjob thread from me to show the process of painting the TF Helmet in ESB style for my dear friend Florian aka BH-2647. :)

BTW: There is another new paintjob thread of me on here for CaptainSolo´s FP Premium. Painting this one ESB style too. So there will be two threads to keep updated! :D:D

Lets start here:

BEFORE:

And now the fun begins! :)

STEP1: Silver

STEP2: Dark Grey

This layer of dark grey needs some rubbing with wirewhool to clean up the paint chips. Next will be the lighter grey on the mandibles and trim. ;-)

STEP3: Light grey on mandibles and trim

It´s always a pleasure to see the complete scratched mandibles in addition to the dark grey before.

STEP4: Beige on the backpanels

Photos taken with flash. The **** flash misleads the colors. But you get the idea. :)

STEP5: Purple on the mandibles

The first of two layers for the mandibles: purple. Only little fragments of it will be seen when the final red is on.

STEP6: Red on the mandibles / Green on the backpanels

The red is sprayed on and the green is on the backpanels now. The flash lets look the dark grey in some strange way, I will take another shot tomorrow in daylight.
Just the dome and lower cheeks in green and the upper cheeks in black and the basic colors are ready. :D



:)

More tomorrow!

Best,
Manuel

Excellent. Florian is an outstanding guy. I bet he is excited.

Hey TxFett,
your bet will win ! :D
Actually I don´t have the time doing the paintjob and Manuel has done outstanding work in the past, so he was my first choice.
I still remember our time at Celebration IV 2007, was really nice to meet so much TDH-members.
Stay tuned,
best wishes from Germany
Florian
 
Bet on it Flo :)

I will update it soon. Work did stop me for a few days that wasn´t planned ... but I am on track again. :)

Stay tuned ...
