Wow, that is looking very pretty! The colours are awesome!

 

[ShocKWavE]

Thank you. I used Dull Aluminum w/ Rub n Buff for the metal areas, Dark Hunter for the cheeks and ear areas, and a non Krylon Moss Green for the other areas. I can't remember off the top of my mind who makes the moss green, but it is a unique shade that has a very natural yet pale feel to it.

Lookin good man. And you were complainin about the R&B. Looks like it turned out great.

 

[Bountys Hunted]

Thanks. TK, the RnB was HORRIBLE! I was seriously pretty sure that I was going to have to start over again. Luckily that wasn't the case.

Saw it over in "Jango", but I'll say here, that it looks great!

Thanks a lot! Oh yeah, I just weathered it up last night and striped it. It looks awesome now! The weathering really brought it to life. It hakes the metal look very convincing. I brought it to work to show a few people and they were surprised that it was light because they thought that is was all metal. I think I want to finish the rangefinder assembly first and then I will post the completed pictures.

Fantastic job on the weathering!!! I like the choice of the pinstripe between the 2 arrows- nice touch

 

[BountyHunter185]

Dude that is one Awesome Helmet!!
may we ask you what you used for the weathering?
Thanks and great job again, looking forward to seeing the rest of the costume.

Very nice.

Thank you very much. I used Black "Delta Ceramcoat" Acrylic Paint that I got at Michaels for the weathering. I applied it with a synthetic (nylon) sponge, unthinned. I just kept reblotting it very thin and reapplying as necessary. I used an angled sponge and a fine brush to get in corner areas.
