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

[terminal fettler]

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

Does that mean i have to wear my 'Y' fronts over my trousers?:confused
Just applied the black to the upper cheeks, i'll leave for 24 hrs and then mask for the green on the dome and lower cheeks.
Spideyfett gave me a good tip some time ago, i will buff the final painted surface with 0000 wire wool, this takes the texture away in some areas and seems to polish the suface deepening tones, giving it a slight sheen also...

:cry Beutifull.....

The wire wool tip is great, I also use it in between coats, I find it helps bring everything together, looking fantastic!!

If only my ESB paint-up looks that good, I will be the happiest man alive. Beautiful, TF!

Impressive. Most Impressive.

Just masked the silver and grey on the dome/lower cheeks. The whole helmet has been gently buffed with 0000 wire wool, gives the colours a nice sheen and reduces the raised edges between layers, also it exposes some real damage on certain edges. The red on the mandibles has really changed hew since i applied it, possibly the contrasting green and the buffing? The damage on the L/H lower mandible was done last after some of the green i use on the back was mixed with dark grey and applied...

Wow, there's a few less wrinkles in my pants, after looking at those latest pics.
Fantastic paintjob!

Only one word: PERFECT

Naw, you're doing it wrong...you have to say something like this...

"That helmet looks horrible, throw it out right now...in my garbage can here...gently place it in there, I will throw it out for ya."

Anywho, that helmet looks awesome. A very fine piece of art you have there

 

[Fleshbeany]

Outstanding work

 

[Mojo Fett]

That is 101% AWESOME!!

Great AOSW helmet!! I love how it looks with the grey before the green is layered on!

 

[terminal fettler]

Thanks for the comments...I'd probably give this helmet about an 85% so far, looks like i need to start another and refine the technique more... basically the idea behind the paint up was just for me to nail the process, only problem is you learn something new every one you do, oh well...

that's how i feel about most projects i do... everything is always practice for the next one!

but seriously, if that's practice... i can't wait to see when you're happy!

You're correct, so... "I hate that bucket TF :angry, so send it to me and I will burn it for you!"



Nice work TF

 

[Bountyone]
