That armour comes with those areas drawn on so you'll know exactly where to cut/drill.

Indeed Sintra has a foam core, but it's quite dense and I've found it looks perfectly solid once you sand and paint it. You could always use a glazing putty to smooth it out even further.

Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you....

Interesting observation. But I don't know why they would add additional paint to those parts of the rangefinder after production. Seems kinda random. I don't think those photos definitively prove the absence of weathering in those areas, between the lighting and the image quality it's not clear...

Right That's exactly how I would do it if I'm trying to replicate the damage in a layered method rather than topically

Yeah, it looks like the dark grey layer underneath the tan showing through. They probably just did one or two quick coats of the tan colour and didn't worry about coverage being perfect on the sides. It's more pronounced there, but you can see the same thing happening on all of the sides of...

I have this thread by SJ bookmarked because he's got some great tips, including what brushes he uses. https://www.thedentedhelmet.com/forums/threads/a-fett-painters-toolbox.35086/

It’s one of several details on the costume that changes from scene-to-scene depending on who is wearing the costume, and how it moves around during filming. Like how the left gauntlet was repaired during filming and covered with an splotch of grey paint, or parts of the EE3 are missing in some...

I think WOF’s templates were made back 2005(?). I’m not sure where his measurements come from but it doesn’t surprise me that they don’t match Minutefetts ears, which are made to fit lineage ESB helmets. Have you looked at RafalFett’s templates...

The ESB helmet was damaged but it's alive and well and has been touring for years. I think it's taking a break right now in the Lucasfilm archives which are not open to the public. The ESB helmet was moulded in silicone a few years ago and several vendors are now offering casts, both in its...

On the movie costume it was hung it on the jetpack harness strap, so I would do that

That's Jesse Duke aka Blastech! Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time...a long time
