Hawk_Fett_ ESB Build

[HawkFett]

Cheeks are done minus weathering. ESB Fugly by Viva Fett is coming along.

 

[BudaFett]

Cheeks looking really good!

 

[HawkFett]

Thanks Buda! Feels good to get these done. Such iconic damage for such a small part of the helmet.

Upper Cheeks finished minus some weathering on the bottom rim of the jaw line. I do have a question. BudaFett On the lower left jaw line there were a few bright silver spots on the stencils so I masked for those. I just looked at Viva Fetts ESB by Superjedi and noticed he didn't include the little chrome/bright silver damage close to the visor on the lower cheek. Is that something I need to fix? or can I weather over it to blend it? The area in question is the last two pictures circled in red. Just curious if I need to cover that area or not. Thanks!

Oh RafalFett is better equipped to answer!

RafalFett could you confirm the bright silver damage on the lower left cheek as ok or a no go? I noticed on the ESB stencils they were there but some paint ups don't have them there. Curious on if I need to remove them. Thanks Raf

I think I overdid those 3 spots, although there is a bit of silver visible on the outside the torture chamber and the carbon freezer scenes:

On the post ESB helmet (ROTJ SE) there are some areas on the lower cheeks where the paint and the gel coat chipped off, and this is what is visible on my old stencils too (it's there on the ultimate stencils too, but not on my ultra ones):

Just correct those silver spots with the cheek green, then do a light misting at the base line of the cheeks (as seen in the last photo).

Ok awesome! You're the man Raf. I appreciate your detailed response. I will make those corrections for sure.

See ask and receive from RafalFett

 

[HawkFett]

He is on point no doubt! So thankful you guys are here to bounce stuff off of and the stencils still blow my mind. Such an awesome group.

Masking and shooting the dome. Bright silver/slate layers are done aside from some fine details which will be added later. Pretty excited. A huge step getting this part done. Was masking away and I look up and there is my daughter with a chicken in the house.

 

[BudaFett]

Is that a chicken? LOL

 

[HawkFett]

100%. Just walked in the house like it was nothing with a chicken. She's nuts.

Shot the green and peeled the masking fluid off last night. My WF Fugly by Viva Fett is coming alive.

Wonderful! - C-3PO

Thanks bro! Tough section. The dome really brings it all together. Just gotta get those kill stripes right.
