Just when you thought it was safe...another ESB paint up!

[terminal fettler]

...that's been my contention all along..that the base colors really do effect the next color apllied when doing a layered method, in terms of tonality ....

I don't think it's the colour below that matters as much as the colours next to each other?...

 

[Simon Fett]

Just can't wait till I get mine!!

Is that your typical paint job or is this one ''special'' ??

Cheers!

 

[terminal fettler]

Its only special in that i've included another layer, the light grey, first.
Previously i've added this colour topically...So i should, if it goes to plan, be able to add all colour by airbrush alone...

 

[Spideyfett]

You done yet?

 

[terminal fettler]

I wish. This is proving time consuming. Hopefully the purple goes on the mandibles/trim tomorrow...

These pics show the light grey, silver and dark grey details liquid masked, sprayed purple, then removed.
Some areas of masking remain on to be removed after later layers. I'm going to revisit the heavily detailed areas for additional layering...

I want to see it finished! :love

Good work TF :cheers

 

[stormtrooperguy]

i've got to get some of that purple stuff. my clear latex is so hard to see!

 

[Mojo Fett]

G - You do some bloody awesome work mate!
I'm gonna have to try this 'complete' layered type next time... 8)

I don't wanna highjack this thread but I received my cold-cast TF helmet today painted in ESB colors and I have to say TF's work is amazing!!! Simply put, it is the most stunning piece of art work I now own....

Cheers Garrett!! :cheers

Brian, if you're unable to see the clear latex, just mix in some acrylic paint. It won't take much, but will tint it enough to be seen easily.

That helmet is looking really nice, keep up the good work.

That looks awesome , I really love the second and third foto of post #26

 

[Ronin677]

Hey Garrett. I think there is something wrong with the lid you sold me, If you want you can just send me your lid as a replacement

Only kidding, the helmet I have is the best Fett item i own and the one you are painting is outstanding. Well done mate, you are an inspiration to us all

 

[terminal fettler]

Ha! I'm not falling for that old chestnut! (what's your address Jon?)
Just been applying the red to the mandibles and trim...and had a PINK scare! I put a couple of extra layers on and i think that did the trick...just have to wait 24 hours before i peel off the mask...:facepalm

 

[terminal fettler]

O.K. Here's one of those rare instances where impatience is a virtue: removing the liquid mask after 1-2 hours is a lot easier than waiting 24 hrs! Gently rubbing over the surface with your finger actually smooths the painted surface as well as removing any liquid mask. My favorite detail so far is the first light grey colour which is just visible in the pics and blends into the silver perfectly but at the right angle stands out...

 

[SEEKER]

Just wow!

 

[Murphoid]

That is pretty!

 

[Spideyfett]

TF is my HERO!!!....Dang bro....

 

[andy fett]

That's just beautiful!!!!! I'm amazed!!!!
