Bobamaker ESB commission for Blaster1965

[Kill Stripe]

This commission is for TDH member Blaster1965, its a Bobamaker V4 ESB Bucket. Its such a pleasure opening deliveries from BM as all the prep work is done and the bucket is basically ready to go....

Layered paint technique once again using ArchiveX paints.
Parts of the ear caps are attached on this bucket so will be going screen accurate and painting them fixed in place and using Funkyred's FETTRASET dry transfer decsls and stencils on the ear caps.

Silver down
Just a touch of prep and then taking advantage of the nice weather and got the silver down.

Let it dry for a few days then begin the marking out and masking.

Back Panels
Started on the back by stenciling out the damage with traced down and stencils

Are all 3 ear pieces removable from V4?

No just the complete right upper ear cap. Apparently BM supply's then now this way because they were painted fixed in place on the original helmets.

Still marking out the damage on the 2 BMs

Just waiting for a shipment of ArchiveX to drop so the grey can go down.

Sorry for the lack of updates, waiting for paint and moving house put paint commissions on hold.
On the upside the ArchiveX is here.

Still unpacking but will hopefully be back painting once my studio is set back up.

I have been working on Blaster1965 's gauntlets and will start a thread on them at done point. And have also been working away on the other threads active on the forum atm.

Masked off the silver damage on the helmet and masked the ears of prior to paint (the ears are attached on the new V4 BM)
