TripleD's ROTJ Helmet Painting Progress

You did a pretty good job bud...only things I see that jump out at me are the upper cheeks still look black maybe dust it with some green and blue to change the hue? Also the kill stripes are kinda duller than what I like for them, looks to yellow and not orange enough, did u sand them and that happen they looked better before could be camera tricks though
 
Thanks Fett4Real. That means alot. The kill stripes are orange. (I will try and get a better shot of them, they were really orange until I hit them with the dullcote). I will try and hit the upper cheeks maybe with a little bit of blue.
 
Ok. This lid is done. I know the cheeks aren't as blue as they should be to be movie accurate, but for my first time doing anything like this, I think it turned out pretty good. Took BGHunter's advice and gave it an acrylic Black and Burnt Umber wash to weather it. Then gave it a final coat of Dullcote. Now onto installing the foam and fans. Tried to mount an old pair of glasses in it but it didn't work right. Might have to think about this some more. Maybe time for a pair of contacts to use while trooping I guess. Thanks to everyone here on the board for the comments and help. Couldn't have done it without you. Thanks all.
