and now for something completely different: 7602's ESB helmet

So I spend months on mine and you make it sound as if you just threw this together real quick, and yet it still looks 100 times better Simply amazing!

And you layered that paint on THICK, I like how it makes it look.

thanks! speed-painting is a hobby of mine. the trick is not sleeping. makes "a day" much longer

i both intentionally put the paint on thick and am pretty rough with peeling it. i love the flaked look of something that's been repainted dozens of times.

terrifying chemicals.

Terrifying chemicals FTW.

I love it, I hope my buckets come out as good as your did.....And as fast.

What size magnets did you use?

 

[stormtrooperguy]

What size magnets did you use?

terribly undersized ones that i replaced with goop because i was too impatient to get bigger ones

these were about 1/4" diameter and i only had 4 that size. i doubled them up like TF suggested and the glue wasn't as strong as the magnets - pulled them right out!

I found Super Glue held the magnets onto the outer ear cap just fine...

i had tried goop, and there wasn't enough surface contact for it to hold. so, in truly impatient me style i just glued the thing on and called it done
