I caught wind a while back about some gray on the back of the right ear on the AoSW helmet. Sure enough, there it is...
Now, at first I thought, "well, that's just some goofy special edition damage, theres stuff like that all over the helmet!"
But then I thought, "but what if it isn't? What if that's something on the ESB helmet as well?" (yes I know they're the same helmet but you get the point)
At first I assumed this would be nearly impossible to prove since when does Boba Fett ever turn his back to the camera?
Well, besides then...
Waitaminute!?!?
It's pretty clear that the back side of the RF ear cap on the original ESB helmet has some gray sprayed over the tan, or maybe it's just that the tan didn't hit the back of the cap when painting. Pretty neat, but my query isn't with the existence of this gray patch, since it's pretty obvious if you do a little sifting through the media section like I did...
Instead, I'm wondering why nobody seems to acknowledge it? Is it because it seems like an obvious mistake not present on other helmets? No, we all put the white smudge marks on the left side even though that's clearly not intentional... Is it because it's ugly or takes away from the overall look? No, everyone wears the stupid looking jetpack harness with pride even though most of us don't even need to, but that's a rant for another thread... Maybe it's because almighty RafalFett for whatever reason decided not to include this patch on his incredible stencils, and people (myself included) just blindly followed the stencils without a second thought? That seems unlikely, right? Whatever the reason, we should all make an effort to add this gray patch to our RF caps, in the name of accuracy!
