don't know why! but the "crap" being followed up by "that is looking sweet!" made me laugh so loud!!thnx JFJ!!
tommorow I'll continue with the back, and then the dome to finally finish up with the rangefinder.
little weak though.
gonna check if I can get a nice aluminium one made by my neighbour at the steel factory..

Any more compliments and your head is going to be too big for the helmet. Kidding.
I wish i had the extra money. If did , I would purchase a BM helmet and hire you to paint it.
Outstanding work. Your skills in my opinion rank up there with the best artists on this forum.
And to think. You were ready to give up a while back.
Rock on dude..

Wow, thats an amazing paint job R_Boba. Your work has inspired me to buy a bobamaker helmet of my own and put my dream of painting a Fett bucket back on track.
I joined this forum months ago but due to circumstances
I wasnt able to pusue this hobby for a while. Well all I can say is that the exceptional standard of craftmanship and artistry Ive witnessed her over the last week or has given me so much enthusiasm and inspiration.
Keep up the good work guys

done a little bit of the back, main matt grey/silver/black mixy thingy scratches are on, the some washes over that, make some nice spots with the grey/blue like colour and then the bright silver/chrome marks
then some scratching with the iron nail and tada... another section completed... the dome is gonna be the last thingy I gues...
the red section is finished though, aswell as the keyslots area...

thats truely brilliant work. The weathering is fantastic really replicates the used "star wars" galaxy look.
Can I ask what tecniques are you using to weather and blend the base colours. Is it best to use washes or misting? Waht colours are you using to weather anyway. It seems to have a lot of depth so I assume your using more than just black.
Im sorry to ask but Im just completely clueless on painting techniques so Im trying to learn as much as possible. I really like your painting style.
Keep us updated on your progress on this fine bucket.

thnx people
@ welsh:
well the methods used are outlined in the text aswell, but basically it comes down to doing most of it all by brush and a hard paint, shiny 2, but very durable and very inaccurate.
then washing on the right colours of green and red (wich takes ages)
also to make it matt and cover the brush stripes.
then on to misting, using black, brown and pearl grey.
worked very well, I had never done that befor ebut I love the look of it.
the wash on soem spots where it's necesary judging by the reference pics. it's difficult though... and It didn't work out 100 % for me either... but well this is kinda funny the way it's coming along.
the silver scratches come next, aswell as the other coloured scratches.
then wash on some dirt spots on some scratches and well... there ya have it.
hope that helps a bit.
feel free to pm or post any specific questions.
one word of advice though... I'm kinda... mudling along, this is not the best or most conventional way to paint a bucket... but I don't have air brush so the layering techniques are way out of the question for me, as not even normal spray cans can be found here...
I have a shop nearby though, that sells a bazillion different colours for model painting!!
small Enamel tins from Humbrol.
or I can move down the street for a shop that sells a little less variaty of colours but has em as acryllics...
