Okay, well after a couple months working on and off on the helmet, mostly just weathering and adding those primer spots, I've thrown a clear coat on it and the helmet is done!

It's been a total of 15 months and over 80 hours of work. 90 percent of that I'd have to say was spent just stenciling. What a journey this has been. I can't wait to do it a few dozen more times. This will be the last Boba Fett helmet that I paint without the aid of my airbrush or my new collection of AX paints, so expect future buckets to be even higher quality.
During my talks with [USER=9028]Jurassic_Fett[/USER] as well as the process of reference gathering, I've noticed that the weathering on the ESB helmet is much more nuanced, subtle, and complex than I had originally thought, and I'd like to endeavor to create a visual weathering guide, similar to paint stencils, that details all the little spots and subtle areas of weathering that make up this complex paintjob.
