+1 for this!

LOL, I have been away for a few years. The Target helmet brought me back to all this, so I guess I need to "unlearn what I have learned"

Hows come? Traditionally it is green that is used

Will this face shield also work? Anchor Brand® Dark Green PETG Unbound Face Shield Visor, 9 in (H) x 15 1/2 in (W) x 0.04 in (T) | Staples®

Saw one in person today, I would say close in size to the old Asok helmet I had. I like it personally. For $30 it is the best mass market helmet I have seen. Also feels more like vacuform rather than resin pull like the older DP or Rubies.

I think that's gonna work nicely. Just give it that little shift I am looking for!

At some point I bet I will be slinging moss, spruce, gray and blue! Just to see what happens! LOL!!

beautiful paint up BTW!!! Did you have any issues with the Valspar paint? I am thinking I got a bad batch, but the newer stuff in the lock top cans, I used Churchill Ivory on another mask and it never dried! So I have been cautious to try their paints again. Absolutely. I have white sintra...

Yep, very close to this. I guess I see so many paint ups that the green is way too bright and I want to stay away from that. That photo above with literally just a TOUCH more blue and I will be thrilled! After seeing the swatch for the intermediate blue, I think it will work perfect. It will...

Yes, and AGAIN, I am not going for what it was painted like on the prop itself. You keep missing the fact that this is something I want to do to resemble the promotional photos taken way back when. This is MY vision, my paintup of what I see in the photos.

Yes, I know what color the actual prop is. Again, what I am going for is how it looks in most of the promotional photography from that era. It definitely leans toward the blue. Not much at all, just a little. And it certainly isn't nearly as green as some of the paint ups I have seen. I have...

I know what you mean, but look at the old photos here on the site. Even color corrected in photoshop, there is a slight blue hue to that helmet. And I am only meaning the way it looks in the studio photos. Think about it...in 1978-1979 when they were working on the action figure, is it any...

Has anyone ever come up with something for the PP2 helmet? Really the dome is the only thing I am trying to figure out. I want it to have the typical greyish green that most Fett helmets have, but I wanted to maybe mist it lightly with something to shift it just slightly to the blue side...

2 WEEKS?! Wow, this would have taken me a month, I never have time to work on my projects!

I'm looking for advice on this. I am guessing it is probably better to stay away...I have tried several times to get this seller to send me other photos of this helmet to no avail. No response, nothing. In an earlier message, they claim it is a mystery helmet, but with their lack of...
