Just finished drawing the grey damage on. It’s always a nightmare on the grey as it’s REALLY tough to see the pencil marks except for when the light catches it. I won’t post pictures because I doubt you’ll see much on camera and it’s not particularly exciting anyway.
Tomorrow I’ll see about painting in any grey damage within the silver areas that I missed although I have a super fine 18/0 brush on the way so I may forge on and come back to that once it arrives. I ordered it last week and I don’t know why but for some reason it isn’t due to be delivered until the 27th. Hey ho.
It’s hard to get the placement right on the dome because of the curvature but I made sure to be absolutely meticulous with the silver damage. This makes the grey easier because you know you can trust the silver damage areas when you align the grey on top of them. I’m glad this is the last layer for this area though, save for the kill stripes. I’m hoping marking them out when I did the silver damage on that side will pay off when it comes to aligning them correctly. I’m not looking forward to the next area though…The dreaded mandibles…
BUT - on my last helmet, the proportions were so far out of whack, I had to skew and distort the mandible templates beyond all recognition which made it extremely hard to get the damage drawn. With a much more accurate helmet this time around, I’m hoping it’ll be easier. We’ll see.
