Not a lot of progress..... I've been working on paint colors...... Ponte inspired me to revisit them.....

Silver is down, now onto dark grey......

This helmet is now complete...... I've included photos with Flash/No flash to show the color shift that takes place. Ponte, thanks for the inspiration to revisit and improve.

I really love that green on the dome. What paint did you use for it?

(sorry if its been mentioned elsewhere)

I really like those yellow-brown baby food looking stains (I didn't know how else to describe it)

Nice work

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate that.

The "baby-food" stains are simulations of the grease stains found on the helmet. That's a SuperJedi idea, kudos to Eric on that.

As for the main green, that is a custom color. That's part of what took so long on this helmet. I went back, did a lot of mixes and experimented on how light reacts with those colors. Between that shot of Gino with the ESB Hero and the CIV photos that are pretty heavily soaked with flash, that's the benchmarks I was trying to reach.

Great job dude. Loving the kill stripe over-spray. One of my favorite details of ESB.

Robert, this has to be one of the best paintups I've seen in a long time. You really nailed those colours and those stripes look just as weak and faded as the real deal. It's stellar work, it really is. I sense an increase in requests for commissions and well deserved.

Brilliant.

Fact.

Live etc

I can't get over those stains, I don't know why... It gives it a different level of character. I've never seen/noticed them before

Major, how did I not see this thread before!? You did an AMAZING job on this man. The darker mixes are absolutely the way to go.

Really impressed with how skilled you've become after only a few paint ups. Well done, Robert.
