UPDATE:  August 12th


Boba can hear now!!  :lol:

Got the ears done.  This concludes all major painting on the helmet!  :thumbsup:

Here's a couple of shots.  First the RF ear.

Here's a closer view of the upper part.  The decals still look really shiny.  After the dull coat, they'll be nice and flat.  The nine stripes on the silver area were done with dry transfer letters.  Those are a lot easier to chip up than the vinyl stripes.

The left ear.

And the bottom wedge.

The only paint that will touch the bucket now is some acrylic flat white for the two thumbprints in the killstripe area.  That will be done after the next phase:  pastel weathering and clear coat.  The pastels will "unevenize" the colors, and the flat clear coat will protect everything.

Getting close now. . . so close!  ;)
