MS3 Progress thread :)

Hi all,
Well, Fedex dropped off a gorgeous MS3 helmet at my house today. I'm doing an ESB paint job for a member here. If he wants to reveal his secret identity, he's very welcome! :D
Previously, I had worked on an MS1 and a Sgt. Fang bucket. This thing is niiiiiice! Outstanding cast, and a very even FG layer inside. . . very smooth! The pre-located ear pieces are great! Just plug-n-play! :lol:
It arrived with the keyslots and part of the visor already trimmed out, with the bottom portion of the visor area still in place (for stability during shipping I suppose) and I took some time today to trim the remaning portion of the visor and smooth the edges.
This is about all I will have time for today unfortunately. :(
Tomorrow I'll have a bit more time to check everything over really thoroughly and hopefully get the first coat of primer on.
Pics!

UPDATE: OK, just did a quick concept sketch of the new paint technique I'm going to try!! I think this will be the NEW STANDARD for all future Boba helmets until the end of time!!!! Mu-ah-ah-ah!!!!

That is so wrong!

Ive seen your work before Eric. You do fantastic stuff. Im sure this will be too.
 
Great looking cast! I didn't think MarrowSun was still alive, haha. I'll PM him on a price for a bucket, for I am building a PPv1 costume next.

Actually, I think this bucket was bought off someone else. I don't think MS is around any more. I've tried contacting him for quite a while now, and no response. :confused

Well, here it goes.... Thats my helmet. I asked Eric to work his magic. Ive had that helmet for, um, wow, a long time.

I actually talked to MS a while ago. He is around still but VERY busy with family, has two kids now, and work. But hang in there, he will eventually get with ya.

Hey, Todd! Glad you revealed your true identity. :lol:

I was just having some fun with my 'concept' picture. Todd's waited a long time for this helmet to get under way, and I wanted to give him something to look at!
Maybe I should change this thread's title to "Lack of Progress Thread." ;)

More to come later today!

You're a lucky man Todd, SuperJedi is a master w/ the ESB bucket.

Glad to hear MS is doing well, and still around. He is one of the MOST talented guys on TDH! (y)
