finished my helmet; at last!

[Citizen Snips]

By Zeus's beard! You did a fantastic job on that bucket. Great work!

 

[GrottyFurball]

Yeah i noticed the gray is a bit more noticable on yours than mine. I'm kind of tempted to carefully repaint them the darker gray

I went to Wal Mart and was able to pick up some of this weather-stripping foam. I cut out a bunch of pieces and used industrial velcro to attach them to the inside. Works great!

If I remember correctly, Garret told me it was a non cold cast one but painted in the layered technique

 

[terminal fettler]

Yeah, i made a couple of non cold cast helmets, this being one of them. The helmet was sprayed with silver enamel then all layered on top, you can still pick the paint off to the silver layer which gives some realistic damage, before sealing with satin coat...

 

[GrottyFurball]

What brand/color did you use for the gray on the cheeks and the dome?

 

[terminal fettler]

Hi Pat, the base grey all over the helmet is Humbrol 79, is a smidge darker than the grey on yours...you have a keen eye sir

 

[GrottyFurball]

I do what I can

Beautiful job man.

 

[zanenigma]

Awsome work, breathtaking!!!!:cry

 

[Dexx]

You've done a really great job on it.
And thanks very much for posting your paint list, you've saved me a load of time and effort!

 

[vadr h8r]

I thought that was a new post then I seen it was from September 2007! Very nice bucket by the way!

 

[AncientFett]

That looks awsome! Do you find it intimidating to "replicate" a paint scheme thats so iconic? I don't think I'm brave enough or good enough to do a movie Fett. Mine would turn out so-so and I'd end up being embarassed by it.
