Hey, Don. I’ll be sure to put it under good lighting and get some quality pictures. That’s a bit shady they don’t have a time frame. They’ve been working an ESB Fett helmet for about seven years, I’m surprised we’re seeing anything at all.

Thanks, for the pics, Don! Looks like it’s already up for preorder at Bait. I guess it’s a decent price and I hope the production version is better. Guess I’ll see since I went ahead and bit the bullet. Just a heads up, preordering at bait you have to pay up front. Fingers crossed I get...

That’s really cool! I’d love to stay at the hotel that’s opening with the park at Disney World. But it’s projected to be ridiculously expensive.

I hope your health takes a turn for the better. Cheers and get well soon!

Ok cool. I have some acrylics I will try that with. I used enamel for the paint job, but figure acrylics would be easy to do the wash being water based and easily cleaned if messed up. I will definitely be adding some scratches. Yeah I see a lot of ESB and SE love, but not too many pure...

Yeah, it’s definitely looking “clean”. Just gotta figure out the best way to dirty it up. I suppose I could do a wash with water and acrylic paints.

Definitely needs more scratches!

Close-ish? What are you guys’ thoughts?

I don’t remember exactly because I eyeballed it. But I started with about 1.5-3 mL of the Crimson. Then added maybe .5 mL of the gray. Then started adding the brown three drops at a time stirring and stopping til it looked right. So, it was maybe 6 or 9 small drops. It looked like a muddy red...

More progress from last night. Still needs some accents, olivegrun misting, more scratches, and a darker overspray for the upper cheeks. But all in all it’s starting to look like a Boba helmet. I have a ton of respect for everyone that does these for commissions! Also, the red was a pain...

KILLSTRIPES!!

Thanks, guys!

More progress!! It’s not a 100% accurate, but I’ve at least surprised myself. The finish line is in sight!

More progress today! This is the best I’ve felt about painting so far. Really happy with how these back panels turned out.

Thank you!
