Deadland GMH ESB paint up for Katzybugz

[deadland]

As part of the Fem Fett armor that I am painting for Katzybugz she has commissioned me to paint up her GMH lid as well. All I have to say is that this is my first one. All I have to say is that it is really darn cool to hold a piece of Fett history in my hand. This is a rotocast GMH and to me seems to be just as strong as any of the fiberglass lids that Fettpride has produced. So far I have started the process of filling in all the physical damage that is present in the GMH at which point I will go back and add in the ESB damage. Well on to a pic since there is just a light coat of primer on it and a lot of work to go to get it to her in time for Celebration VI.

Alright quick and dirty update!!! Back panels are done and I will now be moving onto the trim, key slots and mandibles. I started working on my templates last night and should be done today. If all goes well I should have the trim, key slots and mandibles done by Monday Tuesday at the latest.

Hey Katzy- I saw this beast in person today and WOW you are in for a real treat!!!

 

[Lady Fett]

Aw! I can not wait!! It feels like I have been waiting forever to see this come together. Patience is not a virtue of mine! The helmet is looking great... Not that I had any doubt
