This is by far the most complex paint job I have ever done!


I have never used masking fluid before... But I will definitely be using it again. It makes masking complex shapes effortless!


For my paint job I used Montana Black spray cans as they are cheap as chips and come in pretty much every colour under the sun! (If any one is interested I can post the paint colour names/codes that I used?)

 

So to start with I gave everything a base coat of silver.

Mmm shiny... I can see a Jango Fett variant happening in the near future...;)

I decided to split the helmet up into three sections for painting, so that it wasn't too overwhelming. (Front, back and dome).

Once masked up, I spayed on the next colour and repeated the process. I think I used 12 different paint colours in total.

Once all the layers were done it was time for the part I was both excited and nervous about... Peeling off the masking fluid.


As soon as i started peeling away I was amazed how well it looked. The thickness of the layers of paint really makes it look like real damage...


And here are the finished pics!

Once I unmasked all the layers of paint, I went back and hand painted some of the finer damage and the little symbols on the ears.


I'm really happy with how this turned out... It's also probably the most accurate build I have ever done!


Let me know what you guys think! :D
