Greetings all.

I have been looking over several threads where many of you have posted your helmets that you have been meticulously painting. To say I am impressed is a major understatement!

I am going to be getting a MS kit for my helmet, but am really intimidated in terms of painting it. I have painted a few helmets already but they are relatively "simple" like a TIE Pilot and converting a Rubies Clone Trooper in to an Arc Trooper... None of them are anywhere near the complexity or intricasy of the ESB Fett paint job.

I just hope that I can somehow do a good job and paint a helmet that would at least come close to the masterpieces I have seen here.

Suffice it to say, my skills are abismal. I have a little skill at painting models (have made the SpeederBike w/ Scout model look like my Scout Costume and built the AT-AT). I do have a Testors airbrush, but my skills are not much better than using it as a glorified aresol spray paint.

I'll try to post pictures of my progess, however, I have no confidence in my abilities at all.
